These images were taken on a recent trip to Morocco. Like most of our family ‘holidays’ our trip quickly became a mini expedition taking in the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara. The pictures include our ascent of the highest mountain in North Africa, Jbel Toubkal at 4167m. On the 17th April we climbed to the refuge at 3000m, just above the snow line. After a sleepless night at altitude we set out at first light reaching the summit just before 10 00. We were compensated for our gruelling four hour climb by astonishing views. By midday we were back to the refuge and then on to the village of Imlil arriving at 19 00 . A long but wonderful day.
