The new team destined for Tanzania 2024 went out on our first (7 mile ish!) training walk today. A chilly one, but all walked well and some settled into their new boots 🥾

Over 40 students came to the launch meeting this morning to show they are interested in taking the opportunity to travel to Tanzania in 2024! So exciting!! 🇹🇿
Exciting! We are thrilled to announce Tanzania as our expedition destination in 2024! The launch letter & itinerary has been sent to Year 11 & 12 students & their parents. It’s time to get fitter, learn new skills, experience a new culture & make a positive impact #Tanzania2024

Team 2 recommends the Bahia Palace if you are looking for an activity in Marrakech this afternoon. 70 Dirhams pp and it is very cool and shady in there!!

Team 1 finally pulled themselves out of the shops for a trip to the beach! Some even braved an Atlantic swim 🌊🥶! Heading back to Marrakech in the morning, where I'm sure we'll all wish we were back in the sea!

Essaouira in Morocco is famous for its woodworkers – see them in action, creating intricate boxes and musical instruments in their workshops. When we reach the port, you’ll see the fishermen mending their nets while their bright blue boats bob in the harbour.
