Monday 14th July 2014 Day 8

The early starts are back with a 3:30 am alarm call for breakfast, pack and get ready to start walking at 4:45 (note the GPS time is BST which was 1 hour ahead of Moroccan time).

Today we headed over Ouanoums Gorge to Toubkal base camp. The pass was 3,675m high and the climb provided  good preparation for the 4,000m peaks over the next couple of days.

Today we walked 12.4km which took us just over 6hrs 30mins. We climbed a total of 1,653m with our camp at 3,156m. The GPS went a bit bonkers as we climbed up the gorge due to the high steep sides preventing good GPS lock!

Squiffy stats from GPS!
