Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 21st of November 2026, I'm joining up with the rest of the brave souls who conquered the Arctic Challenge to do something a little different to raise funds for the O'Brien Charitable Trust. We are looking to complete a 100km, 5 day trek across the Sahara Desert.
This five day trek covers 100km passing through Morocco’s forbidding landscape punctuated by peaks, gorges, dunes and oases. At night, sleep under Africa’s star strewn skies and enjoy traditional Berber hospitality.
This challenge goes beyond the Jebel Saghro region, starting on the Maider El Kbir plateau, before ascending Jebel El Mrakib, and admiring the stunning views. Walking through palm gorges, the route joins the dry Rhris River and heads towards an oasis of tamarisk trees. The final days are spent trekking along the Tikertouachene River, before celebrating a successful end to the challenge in Ouarzazate.
