Rachel heads off to Morocco



As you must know by now, Rachel is in the middle of her training for her mammoth task to scale the heights of Kilimanjaro in September. She's doing all this in aid of Leicester Charity Link but first she has to put in all the training and believe me, it's not long til September in terms of what has to be done.

To this end she is about to embark on a training trek up Mount Toubkal in Morocco - It's a 5 day trek, so none of this walking round the footpaths of Sileby. No this is going to be getting more of a feel for the real thing.

"I think it's going to either be a wake up call or a ‘yeah I'm on track’ kind of venture" said Rachel from her exhibition venue in Manchester today.

"It's going to be good to get a feel for the climbing that will be involved in the real thing and I'm really looking forward to the benefits that altitude training can bring."
