This year’s group will also be joined by two students and a member of staff from Regents Park School.

During the Expedition, participants will discover a culture very different from their own. One of the key aims is to support a local community project in the High Atlas mountains, such as digging irrigation channels, farming or painting. For many, the highlight will be the challenging trek up Mount Mgoun at 4,000 metres, which involves several days of wild camping in rough terrain. Students will also experience the local cuisine and famous souks in Marrakech, as well as a camel ride at the coastal resort of Essaouira.

Prior to departure, students have to raise funds for the trip and a host of ideas has ensured that fundraising is on target. Various sweet treats have been sold in College, other students have run stalls at events or carried out car washing, and a quiz night took place in February.

The Expedition demands a high level of physical fitness and ‘Morocco Fit’ started in January, with a bleep test to measure baseline fitness after the Christmas excesses! These sessions continue weekly to build up stamina and endurance and the group are also participating in the Spartan Challenge, a series of fitness activities run by the PE department. In April, a walking training day will help to wear in new boots and equipment.

Teams are currently considering team names and colours, and designing a flag to be held aloft the summit of Mount Mgoun. As the departure date nears, safety requirements, packing, and hygiene considerations are also on the agenda.
