Most Inspirational Moment
The most inspirational moment of the trip for me was the guide's and the groups support at base camp and their determination to get me to the top. I was taken aback by their support, kindness and generosity of spirit.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Wonderful. He is a genuinely kind, fun, thoughtful and strong, yet not overpowering, leader. Knowledgeable, supportive and very approachable, he had a flair for anticipating the needs of the group and delivering without being asked.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Good equipment is essential, in particular good walking boots and walking poles (if you like to use them). There is no need to purchase water purification tablets as there is always an opportunity to buy water. Don't underestimate the importance of sun cream and don't underestimate how good the food is. Upon reading advice from previous Toubkal trekkers I purchased a travel pillow and found it to be one of my favourite buys for the trip.
