My Mount Toubkal Adventure

This is a film of my experience climbing Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa.
Located in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco. I take you from the busy streets of Marakesh to the peak of the mountain, showing the pitfalls and magnificent scenery and meeting the local people and sharing their culture.
All of this was in aid of raising money for my chosen charities, Cancer Research UK and Breast Friends, a local cancer support group.

    Brilliant! What an adventure and achievement! Filming and documenting as well as climbing must have been very challenging. A beautifully shot, created, and uplifting film. Well done Rich!

    I summited 5 weeks ago - what a fabulous video. You must be as heartbroken as me seeing the awful sad news now 😥

    Congrats on your summit and thank you for your comments. It really is devastating. The people in Morocco and in the Atlas Mountain range were some of the kindest and most humble people I've ever met and we made a lot of great friends and my thoughts are with all those sadly affected by it. We are still waiting to hear from a few other guides. A few from my group have also sponsored me for a hiking challenge in aid of the earthquake relief effort. Hopefully this will help the emergency services reach and assist those in need as quickly as possible.

    Such a fantastic film which maybe doesn't really represent what an achievement this was & how determined Rich was to make it . He did brilliantly.

    Another top quality video, I went to Morocco a few years back and one of my biggest regrets wasn’t doing this mountain. I really like what you did with the google earth shots by the way this helps to create a full picture. Did you try any of the local delicacies whilst out there. Food cooked in Tagine was amazing and the Berber omelettes were also amazing! As always really enjoyed watching and looked like an amazing trip one I’ve now added to my bucket list. Best wishes Aiden

    Thanks for the comment! I couldn't recommend it enough to climb Toubkal. It felt a good introduction to the bigger mountains. I really enjoyed putting the maps together and like you say, I think it helps people get a better idea of the route. The food was amazing, the Tagines in particular tasted incredible and I remember the omelettes being very good. The people were very helpful and friendly and I learned a lot about the Berber Culture. All the best - Rich

    Oh wow - the street entertainer with the swirling tassel was in our restaurant after summitting - and we saw the white dog in Imlil - a dead ringer for our own dog who'd passed away 3 weeks before me and my daughter did the hike!

    I loved the instrument he was playing and that dog was a bit of a celebrity in the area and I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. I hope you and your daughter enjoyed the experience of the climb as much as I did!
