We walked for twelve hours, and on ‘the other three days we walked for eight or nine hours. I was exhausted when we finally reached ‘the camp each evening. It was a four-day trek and we spent three icy cold nights camping. I went with my mum and dad and my older brother, who's nineteen. The climb was challenging for all of us. Each day, we stopped to have a picnic lunch, and the views were spectacular. I really regret not taking a camera. The rest of the holiday was fun too, but the climb up Mount Toubkal was the highlight for me. I think the whole trip was character building and I definitely feel more confident now I've done it.
