Morocco Anti-Atlas Meet
From Tuesday 07 November 2023
To Saturday 18 November 2023
Contact Malcolm Streeton & Charlene Gibson
Tuesday 07 November 2023


The best place to be when it is getting cold and damp in Britain is our regular trip to the Moroccan Anti-Atlas.



This area has near constant sunny and dry weather, fantastic trad rock climbing on solid quartzite, friendly people and great food.

It is easy to get to via a direct flight to Agadir.

The trip will be split between the Kasbah Tizougane for climbing in the Northern area and a hotel in Tafraout in the South.

Main costs will be around £200 for flights, £300 for accommodation (some half-board) and £150 for hire cars and fuel. Allow a further £100 spending money for other food and drinks.

Full details to be added later.

A total of 12 places are available.
