The Batch Campsite

Our new Wash House is up and cleaning everyone and everything that comes camping! Hot and cold and drinking water, showers, fridges, hand basins, freezers, flushing toilets, a library, washing up area, mirrors, the list is almost endless. We are still a bit wild though. Come and see.

Hi All,
For all you climbers who don't know any teenagers with spare clothes now is your chance to add your support to Klothes for Ksar and get more Berber children to stay in school. I can't persuade Easy Jet to transport the clothes to Morocco for free so anything you donate I will match up to £200. A fiver would be great! Thank you.

Batch Camp on tour 2025 part 7
Having got to the ferry late it was delayed for 4 hours and I eventually made it to Tangiers (via taxi at 4 in the morning) after passively watching a man smuggle a dog into Morocco. Tangier looked beautiful as did Casablanca. The train was brilliant( we have nothing like it). Had an OK Nicoise salad in Marrakesh and a strange sausage sandwich outside Tiznit where I stayed for the night. Shared a taxi up into the mountains with 4 strangers and a baby to Tafroute where I met the other climbers from Bristol. It took 3 days and 4 hours to travel overland by public transport to southern Morocco.

Batch Camp on tour 2025 part 7
So the plan is to go climbing in the Anti Atlas Mountains in Morocco without flying.
Had to leave dog with sister in Crystal Palace and set off early Sunday morning . Breakfast in London followed by better lunch in Paris and the usual late dinner of gambas in Barcelona. Up early(5) to catch another very fast very modern train to Madrid followed by a slow one to sit at a station with no food, over the mountains to Gibraltar and a race to the ferry which has now been delayed for three hours!

Only two weeks til the end of the season. We still have spaces over half term and Halloween. Meanwhile it’s time for some apple picking. It’s a bumper crop and we’re aiming to turn some of it into apple juice and cider. If you’d like to help out you’ll get half price camping and some juice to take home. Get booking now!
