Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Tom and I are completing this challenging trek for a couple of reasons:

A walk in the Sahara - WOW, we both enjoy walking but this will really test our stamina and endurance and to experience a different part of the world - even if it is only a massive expanse of sand!

We have chosen to support the Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance as we believe that they do a wonderful job in difficult circumstances and they thoroughly deserve every bit of support that is given to them.

So please dig deep and donate now.

 

For those that are interested our Itinerary is below (in Nov 2013)

Day 1 – We depart the UK for our flight to Quarzazate. We arrive and are transferred to our hotel.

Day 2 – Transfer to M’hamid, the gateway to the Sahara via the Draa Valley. After lunch, we trek to Bougharn Dunes. 2-3 hours trekking

Day 3 – Follow the ever changing landscape and trek to foot of Chigaga Dunes. 6-7 hours trekking.

Day 4 – Climb the Chigaga Dunes and witness the sun-rise over the Sahara. Trek to Erg Aghaul. 7-8 hours trekking.

Day 5 – Trek to Foum Zguid and then transfer to Quarzazate. Tonight we hold our celebratory dinner ‘Moroccan style!’

Day 6 – Transfer to airport for flight to UK.
