15 people from the Isle of Man have signed up to trek to the highest peak in North Africa to help raise money for a local charity.
The Children’s Centre is running an expedition to Mount Toubkal in Morocco in October this year.
The top of the mountain is around 13,600 feet above sea level.
Anyone who is interested in signing up for the trek can contact 631917.
Mark Eastham is the fundraising coordinator for the charity – he says he knows firsthand how exciting the challenge is:
