After catching a very early flight the team landed safe and well in Morocco a little tired but still smiling.
So far they have enjoyed playing football and rounders with children from the village and enjoying some of the local food.
A very good morning message was recieved from Asni, where the team started the project. It was not long before they all looked like wet sponges after moving 4 tonnes of sand and gravel to make a path to connect two sets of stairs.
They are all doing well and morale is high, but its very HOT!!
After a 6 hour up hill trek the group arrived at the base camp, they are all very tired but morale remains high. A few mules were used to help move a few people who still felt a little weak, but everyone remains positive and hungry to reach the summit.
It was an early 5:30am start and a 5 hour trek but the group managed to reach the summit at 10:15am with all 18 pupils successfully achieving this incredible challenge. After desending and having an afternoon to relax the group arrived back in Marrakech where morale was at an all time high as they have bartered a good price with a local hotel which has a pool !!!
Mr Redford said: It has been an incredible honour to have shared this experience with such a fantastic group of young people.
Watch the group reach the summit here!
