TWO West Devon children's charities are joining forces to organise an exciting sponsored four day mountain challenge in Morocco.

CHICKS and The Book Bus Foundation, which both support disadvantaged children, are inviting people to take part in this exclusive charity trek to scale the 4,165m Mount Toubkal in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco to raise funds for their work.

The four-day trip will be led by an experienced UK trek leader accompanied by local Berber guides and will run over a long weekend in September. Trekkers do not need to be mountaineers, but should have reasonable fitness.

A presentation evening is being held on Tuesday, March 26 at 6.30pm at Tavistock Enterprise Hub at Pearl Assurance in Brook Street, Tavistock with free entry and drinks. Alternatively email [email protected]">[email protected] or call 01822 616191.
