Trek

Atlas Mountains 14.11.19

For some today would be an absolute highlight with a trek through a part of the Atlas Mountains.  At the time I think it was a chance to see something different but in retrospect I am not sure it quite lived up to the billing.

The initial departure from the hotel was steep and rightly Jackie took the view that it was going to be too hard and she would return to the hotel for a quiet day.

This walkway was probably the most difficult point – it looks wider in the photo than I remember but there was an alternative route through a stream which  one or two of our number preferred.

At this time of year the waterfall is not particularly strong – so the route is fairly easy.

Our route through the hills has gentler slopes than when we commenced – because it zigs and zags a lot!

Having reached another settlement above Dar Imlil we can look down on it and after a light lunch we descend back to the hotel where they had found Jackie some lunch as well so all is well.
