Led by Chris Fawcett, MOROCCAN VENTURE 24 is an RAF-led expedition to Morocco, that is planned to take place within the Toubkal National Park in the High Atlas mountain range, in central-western Morocco. The expedition aims to bring together individuals with various outdoor experiences, ranging from the absolute novice to the experienced mountaineer.

Once descended, there will also be an opportunity to experience a night in the Sahara Desert.
