Mount Toubkal Morocco

“My brother David, Gary Atkinson, David Phelps and I (Gary Baglin) – from Co Durham and Newcastle – recently climbed the highest mountain in North Africa. We stayed at base camp and were up at 3am for the ascent, dressed in winter gear and headtorches. We reached the summit (4167m) at 8.30 in thick snow and -5°C! The picture is the four of us and the rest of our group plus our two guides.

A truly fantastic experience – and all in one crazy long weekend!”
