Morroco high atlas

Has anyone done this before? 

It is a challenge that is scheduled for September. I'm hoping to do it to help raise money for a particular charity. It is for UCL hospital research. 

I know it has an altitude of 4km and it's a desert scenery. 

I would have to raise £1,400+ via just giving before July the 20th. 

I need to get the ball rolling with it. I've donated £195 myself so far.

My work place are likely to chip in. 

Any thoughts and or advice?

If anyone wants to raise money for a charity of your choosing, you have the time and you like the sound of an outdoors activity....feel free to join 👍

    Something I still intend to do at some point. Been to Morocco twice, once for a coastal surf holiday, and the second time to Marrakesh but my wife was quite heavily pregnant at the time. For some reason she didn’t fancy the Atlas mountain excursion. Selfish.

    I did a day trip up the atlas for the waterfalls - really good day.

    Some of the back packing campsites you walk through are mental. Genuinely couldn't believe people would pay to stay there for weeks on end
