Trekking on average 6 hours per day, the route undulated between lush valleys and higher arid terrain at 1750M. We passed through quaint Berber villages, nestled in the landscape which provided great insight into the lives of these friendly and welcoming people.</p><p>Our trekking team besides the guides listed above, consisted of a driver and a cook who couldn't have done more for us, providing delicious lunches along the way and dinner when we reached our accommodation for the night.</p><p>The first day's trek brought us through the Dades Valley to the desert plateau of Ighrem Akdim located at 1700M where we had an obstacle to overcome! To reach our accommodation for the night it was necessary to ford icy cold water, but this was soon forgotten as we enjoyed our delicious dinner.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPrAHEqGr3v66e2qykdeOcXflBq_jMM3tGE6xsCHaDbHKL-b9tyJapm6orNwocbPc4UO7nLs6j4AmVhxtioDos_om7x19ZDKYIGFKDciq0-TVBEkOQL9uOIg-9yU9xMY_2wkP9hm2cO5Xye4qd-sPmY3MmiacLRtJAHt0fTZrs556Ral-WpUaw44nG/s1440/lunch.jpg" style="clear: right; display: inline; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPrAHEqGr3v66e2qykdeOcXflBq_jMM3tGE6xsCHaDbHKL-b9tyJapm6orNwocbPc4UO7nLs6j4AmVhxtioDos_om7x19ZDKYIGFKDciq0-TVBEkOQL9uOIg-9yU9xMY_2wkP9hm2cO5Xye4qd-sPmY3MmiacLRtJAHt0fTZrs556Ral-WpUaw44nG/w150-h200/lunch.jpg" width="150" /></a>The next few days brought us through the lush terrain of the Valley of the Roses until we met another challenge on day four!</p><p>This was something many of us had not experienced before.

On our first night we stayed in Marrakech, arriving early evening, with a short amount of time to explore the area around our hotel. On Sunday we had an early start, the group divided into two, with 12 people heading off for their journey by bus to the start of their trek through the Valley of the Roses. The remaining 17 of us had a shorter journey to start of our Toubkal and Berber village trek.<br /><b>Toubkal and Berber Village trek. </b><div>On our first day after a short journey by bus, we met up with our guides Omar and Hasan, our chef Mohamad and our 6 muleteers and mules for our luggage, who would be accompanying us on for our trek. Our plan was to trek high and sleep low in order to acclimatise for our trek up Toubkal. Our chef Mohamad, and the muleteers prepared all our food, and the quantity and quality was excellent for the whole of our trip, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, lovely salads. We had picnics most days en route, and the food was always fresh and well prepared, we never went hungry or</div><div>thirsty. <br /> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTzMKg7v7hF4zwhlEY-6X-Z5d89fdV5lDNCcUBkZqs9W1fl7o_IzVeonFgFbtRp2UkRPvULthSm8KD5GOs2qlAbFpLHXMXwHdM6XC5g-z3o2bLqid3XoHp8dCtkFn6vjJUJRY4N_fzewMaG3OTqVrAP_hXitZEC6DnhtxeX1mR6-lhEzUmosGk5HWX/s1080/sunset.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTzMKg7v7hF4zwhlEY-6X-Z5d89fdV5lDNCcUBkZqs9W1fl7o_IzVeonFgFbtRp2UkRPvULthSm8KD5GOs2qlAbFpLHXMXwHdM6XC5g-z3o2bLqid3XoHp8dCtkFn6vjJUJRY4N_fzewMaG3OTqVrAP_hXitZEC6DnhtxeX1mR6-lhEzUmosGk5HWX/w200-h150/sunset.jpg" width="200" /></a><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4C2Vcfx0XzF-FNJf0VZxAqvVC6JsVBxHx0mUviJ0yFzhAVWVl923YegAWuAus_kzBFjllD5TCvCzLM1ba3mHbavNv8c8T1pzy4LOJG2kclkMYIf1-odpSidA5ktoeY0R2eBlLePONLEcIu331X6yIjNiuX_G41a1sUB52KkR95hjv3--WH0APQmmv/s1080/Aroumd.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4C2Vcfx0XzF-FNJf0VZxAqvVC6JsVBxHx0mUviJ0yFzhAVWVl923YegAWuAus_kzBFjllD5TCvCzLM1ba3mHbavNv8c8T1pzy4LOJG2kclkMYIf1-odpSidA5ktoeY0R2eBlLePONLEcIu331X6yIjNiuX_G41a1sUB52KkR95hjv3--WH0APQmmv/w200-h150/Aroumd.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Aroumd</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">On our first day walking We started off in heavy rain, and walked for 6 hours to our accommodation in a Berber house in Anfa Id Aissa. 2000m.

Kevin Higgins, also a founder member, recalled the names of deceased members. The brass plaque on the bench is dedicated to past and present members and bears a quote from John Tyndall's 1872 book <i>Forms of Water in Clouds and Rivers, Ice and Glaciers:</i><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKnqZcNlPhp2pydxvqs0wgX9u8eIlsy2PylnHFhzthfbTOTNO5k8dJilmG9g857jt_NfOW-RdEuU8PJ2K0Bm7ArfUJoH328ALqvQFXFZl9FcGj7gwVVJNTgq-LH8hy6h-IkxiE9GJbsQUFqGej2ZiKtAVtBfSEoX3jt_fHEgDw7ejOjJM1GI0lRTO/s800/Bench%20Plaq.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKnqZcNlPhp2pydxvqs0wgX9u8eIlsy2PylnHFhzthfbTOTNO5k8dJilmG9g857jt_NfOW-RdEuU8PJ2K0Bm7ArfUJoH328ALqvQFXFZl9FcGj7gwVVJNTgq-LH8hy6h-IkxiE9GJbsQUFqGej2ZiKtAVtBfSEoX3jt_fHEgDw7ejOjJM1GI0lRTO/w166-h125/Bench%20Plaq.jpg" width="166" /></a></div><i>"Should we not meet again, the memory of these days will still unite us"<br /></i><br /><p></p><p>It was then on to the Club House Hotel for a trip down memory lane, where Kathleen Tuite, club member, displayed a wonderful slide show of the activities of the club since its inception. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc9iFoFM02551UGkzNx3tBm5SvSWWgy_OrSQh8y5BF3fY-pc_U60Wl6B0M6wumY2gzUxT8PY2pUIl-R-viw_RssnUhNzRYW4C8akD1dwqeL_VShsJCV9ZVlhHSlA_HWkvL6jGJ_nhRGRmv3--NKCp5hZbSBs69aBcHM9C-lEhsoMEYpUxzrvtIBXQK/s4032/IMG-2322.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc9iFoFM02551UGkzNx3tBm5SvSWWgy_OrSQh8y5BF3fY-pc_U60Wl6B0M6wumY2gzUxT8PY2pUIl-R-viw_RssnUhNzRYW4C8akD1dwqeL_VShsJCV9ZVlhHSlA_HWkvL6jGJ_nhRGRmv3--NKCp5hZbSBs69aBcHM9C-lEhsoMEYpUxzrvtIBXQK/w155-h116/IMG-2322.jpg" width="155" /></a>An excellent dinner was then served. Special guest was Frank Nugent, experienced mountaineer, explorer, expedition leader, and published author. He was deputy leader of the successful Irish Mt.

He spoke about his many adventures and praised the club for it's zeal and vitality and said we were lucky to have so many scenic mountain ranges on our doorstep with an abundance of archaeological monuments.

<p class="MsoNormal">Early rise to catch the bus to Pen y Pass car park. We took the Pyg Track with signs to Crib Goch
(which is a steep ascent to Snowdon, we didn’t take that route!). There is a track all the way to the top, so we
met various levels of walkers on the trail.
On the lower part of the walk, we had lovely views of Llanberis and the
other side Llyn Llydaw lake & the towering cliffs of Y Lliwedd. We traversed under Crib Goch passing the
stone marker for the Miners track which we would take on our return. The summit was masked in cloud, but it didn’t
take from the experience and joy of reaching the highest point in the UK
