Trekkers wanted to scale the heights

Located in the High Atlas Mountains, three spectacular peaks await climbers who take on the seven day challenge that will take place September 19 -27.

The trek is being done in aid of Rennie Grove Hospice Care and events fundraiser Jo Hunt said: “An ideal candidate for the trek would be someone who enjoys being out of their comfort zone and trying something new.”

Jbel Toubkal,Jbel Ouanoukrim and M’Goun are Morocco’s three highest peaks and offer a tempting challenge to adventurous and fit trekkers. All the peaks are over 4,000m altitude and offer great trekking in the rugged and dramatic landscapes of Toubkal National Park and the Central High Atlas.

A £270 registration fee is payable at the time of booking and once registered, participants must commit to raising at least £1,500 sponsorship.

Ms Hunt said: “The fundraising team will fully support participants and help with ideas on how to raise funds.

“The money raised will help to fund the work of our Hospice at Home nurses and family support services.”

The trip includes flights from London, all transfers and transport in Morocco, accommodation, tents and sleeping mats on trek, all meals, local expert English speaking guides, porters/mules and cooks, trekking permits and a UK Different Travel tour manager as well as a representative from Rennie Grove.

The information evening starts at 7pm at Rennie House in Tring.

If you would like to attend call 01442 820720.

The closing date for registration is March 19.
