Scottish Adventurer and presenter of BBC2’s Morocco to Timbuktu series, Alice, is now preparing for her toughest challenge yet: a 2000 KM trek across the Sahara, the biggest hot desert in the world.
No stranger to SBPR or epic adventures, the team worked with Alice on her adventure earlier this year as she became the first woman to walk the length of the River Draa in Morocco discovering a lost city, the tombs of the giants and learning first-hand the dire effects of climate change and water shortage on a once arable and lush land.
Alice’s latest adventure will see her beginning in Oued Chbika, Morocco’s Northern most point on the Atlantic, and ending at the southernmost tip.
The journey is expected to take three months, setting out on November 26th, she will be travelling with the same team from the Draa Expedition including three local guides and five camels.
The aim of this expedition is to explore this virtually unknown part of the Sahara as Alice explains: “I will be tracking the deathstalker scorpion, hunting for meteorites, investigating the unique sand statues of the south, and searching for the lost great bird monuments which lie hidden in the dunes”.
Sunny, founder of Sunny Bird PR, commented: “It’s always a pleasure working with Alice, she’s such an inspirational woman and the adventures and challenges she sets herself are heroic to say the least. We’ve worked with Alice on all her adventures over the years from the Dodging Elephants book, to the River Draa expedition and now this, her toughest challenge yet, a 2000 KM trek across the Sahara.”
