Maybe some of you have been keeping an eye out on weather forecasts for the Moroccan High Atlas, Toubkal or Mgoun areas?! Well in case you missed out - there is certainly ample snow around already for our winter Toubkal ascents and snowshoeing trips in the Mgoun region with some record falls in early November.

The current economic woes and falling level in the GBP rate against the Euro (and also the Moroccan dirham) have made things difficult for our UK clients and whilst our trips are (we believe!) costed competitively against other operators given our low client to guide ratio and that we do not out-source our trips to anyone else, often it seems that it is the bottom line figure that is the decider rather than what services etc are offered before and during a particular trip. 

So to help those in the GBP sterling zone, we are prepared to discount our prices by €40 per trip for all new individual bookings and €100 per trip for all joint bookings (2 persons) received by the end of the Christmas period (i.e. midnight on the 5th January 2009).
This offer applies purely to people resident in the UK and is valid from now on the trips specified below for which there are (at the time of writing) 2 or more places available on the trip in question.
