Posted by adminweb / in Featured Posts /
A fundraising challenge for The Book Bus Foundation and CHICKS
Conquer the highest peak in North Africa in 2 days.
The Mt Toubkal trek is an extended mountain walk that lasts for 2 days. This trek, whilst strenuous at times, is suitable for anyone in good health and with a reasonable level of fitness.
Book Bus and CHICKS are organising a trekking challenge to Mount Toubkal in Morocco. On the 27th Sept a team of 10 trekkers will set out from London to fly to Marrakech. We will spend Saturday and Sunday climbing Toubkal (4,165 m above sea level) and a final day in Marrakech at a traditional hammam (Moroccan steam bath) to recover!
The trek (including flights) cost £746 and we ask each trekker to raise an additional £750 as a donation to the Book Bus. It runs from Friday afternoon to Monday, so you only need to take 2 days off!
The objective of this mountain challenge is to raise funds for your chosen charity. In addition to the cost of the trek we ask you to pledge a minimum of £750 which will be donated directly to the charity. Fundraising advice and suggestions are available from Book Bus or Chicks. For the Book Bus the raised funds are needed for the capital cost of a new Book Bus and to support our “Teaching the teachers” programme.
