Audley Travel Fundraising Trip to Mount Toubkal in 2007
Audley Travel are delighted to invite you to join a fundraising trek to the summit of Morocco's Mount Toubkal in May 2007. As part of their commitment to supporting a variety of worthwhile causes, this is the first trip Audley has offered with the specific aim of raising money for charity, including the Galapagos Conservation Trust.
The Atlas Mountains are three distinct ranges that extend some 500 kilometres through Morocco, dividing the interior of the country into strips of lower lying land. It is the High Atlas that is the most dramatic, containing North Africa's highest peak, Jebel Toubkal (4,167 metres), as well as countless Berber villages, terraced on to inaccessible ledges and perfectly preserving a tenacious culture. The trek will take you through steep valleys, rocky peaks, and past these tradional Berber villages as you make your way to the summit. Once there you will be rewarded with spectacular views of the High and Anti-Atlas ranges as well as the Sahara.
The five night itinerary, commencing on 17 May 2007, includes two familiarisation treks and the actual climb will take place over two nights, requiring an overnight on the mountain. Accommodation is at the spectacular Kasbah du Toubkal, located at the base of Jebel Toubkal.
The cost of this non-profit making trip is £995 per person based on two sharing, including flights, taxes, transfers, accommodation, meals and trek facilities. The price also includes a minimum £100 donation to their charity portfolio although they strongly encourage you to increase your donation by gaining sponsorship for your climb. For further details, or to request a trip dossier, please contact Katherine Goodsell on 01869 276 278 or visit www.audley.co.uk/features/toubkal.
