Ultra Trail Atlas Toubkal, 2 Oct 2014

2014 was finally the year.
I've been into the Atlas mountain 2 times before, one time do to some trekking and the 2nd time to do some rock climbing. These mountains are simply beautiful. What I love the most is the coulour of the sand/dirt: it's red... and the smell is also amazing.
And the people that live there, the Berberes, are such a nice, welcome and friendly people.

- and this year, we were expected to have a lot of wind.
