Is it possible to fly to Casablanca from Oxford in one day?

I may need to go to Conakry (in Guinea) again (it’s a long story but it’s work) and I’m bored with the whole Heathrow-CDG-Nouakchott-Conakry Air France food and wine bonanza.

I reckon I can GA it as far as Casablanca before hopping on an Air Maroc job for the remainder. It’ll take longer but isn’t life about the journey, not the destination?

Aircraft: Cessna 182
Cruise 135Kt
Suggested Itinerary Oxford - San Sebastián - Jerez - Tangiers (customs) - Casablanca Tit Mellil then taxi to the international airport for the 7:15pm Air Maroc flight.
Oxford opens at 0630Z, I wonder if this is doable?

Coming back is easy: Oxford is open till 2230.....

No, I don’t have a full IR, just the English Restricted variety (because English clouds are totally different from those weird European clouds...)

Any thoughts? (Apart from the obvious “are you completely mad?”)
