Bethan and Roman’s Sahara Desert Trek.🏜️
Bethan and Roman are about to take on their 14th international challenge for the hospice in a bid to reach Bethan’s £250,000 fundraising target.
This time they are swapping mountains for sand as they prepare to trek 100km through Morocco’s forbidding landscape punctuated by peaks, gorges, dunes, and oases.
This challenge goes beyond the Jebel Saghro region, starting on the Maider El Kbir plateau, before ascending Jebel El Mrakib, and admiring the stunning views.
At night, they will be sleeping under Africa’s star-strewn skies, and by day, they will be walking through palm gorges as the route joins the dry Rhris River and heads towards an oasis of tamarisk trees. The final days will be spent trekking along the Tikertouachene River.🌊
Since Bethan’s husband Dave passed away at Nightingale House during 2017 she has made it her mission to the support the hospice. Bethan and Roman have completed 14 incredible challenges:
The Great Wall of China 2018, Vietnam to Cambodia Cycle 2019, Inca Trail Peru 2022, Kilimanjaro 2022, Milan to Venice Cycle 2023, Camino de Santiago 2023, Mountains of Croatia 2023, Mount Toubkal May 2024, Everest Base Camp 2024, Tour de Mont Blanc June 2025, Cycle London to Paris July 2025,The Spanish Three Peaks October 2025, Tour de Matterhorn June 2026, The Sahara Desert November 2026.
From everyone at Nightingale House we would like to say a huge good luck to Bethan and Roman. We are beyond grateful for their unwavering support. 🩵
