Arhoud > Beach > Cafe return.
Staying up on the hill above the beach is lovely and there is an easy to manage walking path meaning you can leave rhe car behind and save a few pennies on parking.
The colourful village by the sea is an interesting viewpoint but aside from a couple of small…

A wander round Armoud
The high village that overlooks Imlil with its rock ridge line and dramatic mountainous backdrop invites you to wander its narrow maze of steeply climbing steps through the old and traditional window into Moroccan life.
This route takes you past refreshments, lunch, view points and waterfalls.
One note - when…

Day 2:Part 2 ~ Back to Imlil
Hopefully if you have got this far you will be counting this as Day 3! But if you are a little nuts like us, or simply short on time then this is the second part of a long day.
You are retracing your steps now so the route you know.…

Day 2:Part 1 ~ Toubkal Summit
An early start for breakfast in the busy hostel sees the majority of groups up and out on the path for 4am (winter, spring ascent).
Head torches on and begin the climb.
No sugar coating this ~ it is at least 2 hours of steep climbing ahead of you and…

Day 1: Imlil to Toubkal Refuge
A nice, steady ascent up close and personal with the high Atlas.
Passing through a small Moroccan mountain village with a couple of refreshment stops available this part of the trek winds up rocky path ways shared with Mules and descending groups.
A pretty easy climb with only the last…

Tizi n Mzik Pass > Tassgimout 2660m
An acclimatisation day, a popular route that takes you up to the pass and if you want to the small summit above.
Fresh pressed orange juice at the pass was a lovely treat. A good stretch the legs day 🙂

Nant Gwerthyn
A small part of the Wales Coastal Path. Dramatic wanders down to a secluded old granite quarry community.
A grey beach and wild seas for us - so quiet here despite the fact there is one of the nicest cafes in the area overlooking this incredible spot.
They do the…

Cadair Idris - Minffordd Circular
A consistently steep path with only occassional easier sections but well worth it for the awseome views. A detour to Llyn Cau on the way up to catch your breath is well worth it where the entire horseshoe is on show.
The descent from Mynydd Moel follows rhe fence line…

False Y Gribin > Glyder Fawr loop
Part of the school run series! A short loop that includes one of Ogwens famous grade 1 scrambles and some of Eryri best viewscapes.
Worth noting this time is based on a run, fast walk. At an easier pace and the slightly easier route up Y Gribin allow 4 to…
