Morocco Mountain Trek Sponsored Hike

In June 2007 Brian, his son Paul, daughter-in-law Su and close friend Peter are taking part in a Morocco Mountain Trek through the Atlas Mountains.

This is a sponsored event to raise money for Scope (http://www.scope.org.uk), a national charity for people with cerebral palsy.

The trek is over 4 days, sleeping under canvas at night, and will take them up to an altitude of nearly 14,000 feet (4,167m). On the third day of the trek they will reach the summit of Mount Toubkal, the highest point in North Africa. Brian will also be celebrating his 60th birthday on that day.

To take part in this event they have pledged to raise a minimum of £6,000 between them and to this end are organising a number of fund raising events.

As we get nearer to the trek we will keep you updated with the details of our fun raising events and how the training is going.
