As Jayne kindly advised I am now back in Marrakech, such an exciting city. My trip to the Atlas mountains was just ACE! I was part of a great Group of trekkers with a top leader in Tom Richardson who was supported by Rachid Imerhane, a fully qualified young Moroccan guide. We all got to the top of Mt. Toubkal at 4,167m last Wednesday in deep snow. It was an 8.15am start after a large fall of snow the previous evening. By 11am we were on the top. For a few minutes I was the tallest man in North Africa!! We all had an excellent time.

This is a lovely country with such good weather 23°c most days and the coldest in the mountains was -12°c. Food was excellent all trip.

I will post full details of the trek when I get back to the UK. It is with such happy memories I leave for Luton tomorrow morning at 10am.

Best wishes to all and thank you for taking an interest in my trek.
