The Summer season is nearly upon us and it's looking very busy with lots of teams signing up for our National Three Peaks Challenge, All teams will be hoping to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell & Snowdon in 24hrs which is tough challenge but great fun and a fantastic way to raise money for your favourite charity. Our first Three Peaks kicks of on 3rd June.

Snowdonia is popular as ever a great weekend getaway for an endless number of activities from exploring the quieter corners of Snowdonia to adrenaline pumping white water rafting.

High Atlas Trekking

Toubkal 2011

Were having a great winter over here in Morocco.

The weather has been fairly mild until the last week, we had a big dumping of snow last week which made it hard work getting to the summits, but we made it and it was worth all the hard work the views from Toubkal summit were just awsome.

The snowline is now at 2300mt so were now using porters to get all our kit into the refuge and the mules get a time out.

I'm in Marrakech at the momment prepareing for our next trek in 3 days time. fingers crossed the snow pack should have hardened a little by then.

There's a festival going on in Marrakech at the momment so the evenings are packed with all sorts of antics going on.

The refuge on Toubkal has been really busy with skiing groups and next week is full so its going to fun in there at least it will be warm in the refuge.

Were currently looking into adding white water rafting to our Morocco program. so once you've climbed North Africa's highest mountain you can then raft the white water in North Africa so watch this space.

Right time to get on with things.

Hydro Therapy

Good news for all those looking for big adventure and the love of water.

Our Gorge Walking Trips in South Wales are filling up fast this year and with good reason as the Mellte and Sychrydd Gorges offer some of the best Gorge Walking/Scrambling in the U.K.

With massive jumps for those who feel need for heart pumping adrenaline which are of course optional.

For those looking to try and stay above the water but we cant promise, we will soon be offering White Water Rafting in North Wales on the Treweryn River.

The Treweryn is classic grade 3/4 river with some great adrenaline pumping rapids.

All these activivites are great team building events and perfect for Stag and Hen Weekends.

It´s also possible to combine any of these activities with Paintballing, Quad Biking and High Ropes Course´s.

Hope to see you on the water soon.

Toubkal

I've not had much time to update the blog since returning from Morocco.

Here's a quick update.

Our January Toubkal Winter Climb was superb trip, We had perfect conditions for the trek, it felt like spring time in the Atlas and the snow was in great nic for summiting Toubkal.

After a night in Marrkech, we headed off early to the village of Imlil where we started our trek.

The snowline was 2800mt which made things alot easier to get our supplies to the refuge.

Our first day in the Mizane Valley was an acclimatisation day while learning winter skills, everyone got into glasading down the valley which continued to be the theme for week.

The following day we summited Toubkal and another stunning day with blue skies, again more glasading down into the refuge in time for more mint tea and cake.

The following two days were spent exploring the High Atlas and enjoying the winter sun.

Then finally back down to Marrakech and a cold beer !
