One ofthe key aims is to support a local communityproject in the High Atlas mountains, suchas digging irrigation channels, farming orpainting. For many, the highlight will be thechallenging trek up Mount Mgoun at 4,000metres, which involves several days of wildcamping in rough terrain. Students will alsoexperience the local cuisine and famoussouks in Marrakech, as well as a camel ride atthe coastal resort of Essaouira.Prior to departure, students have to raisefunds for the trip and a host of ideas hasensured that fundraising is on target. Varioussweet treats have been sold in College, otherstudents have run stalls at events or carriedout car washing, and a quiz night took placein February.The Expedition demands a high level ofphysical fitness and ‘Morocco Fit’ started inJanuary, with a bleep test to measure baselinefitness after the Christmas excesses!
