Seren raised money for charity while climbing north Africa's highest mountain

Have you ever thought what it would be like to climb a mountain?

A girl from Carmarthenshire has managed to climb the highest one in north Africa and her dad thinks she is the youngest person to do it - she was just six!

Mount Toubkal, which is in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, is 4,167 metres (13671ft) tall.

Seren climbed it with her father Glyn, raising money for the hospital that helped her when she was younger in the process.

Seren has taken on a range of fundraising climbs with her dad

Seren and her dad took on the challenge in August, which included an eight-hour walk with a guide in temperatures more of than 40 degrees just to reach Mount Toubkal base camp where they spent the night.

The next day the pair tackled the summit - the highest point of a mountain - which her dad said had some "narrow paths" but "the heat was the biggest challenge".

Seren had been training for about a year with her dad, which included night time walks up Pen y Fan in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, also known as the Brecon Beacons.

Seren wants to climb Mont Blanc next

This isn't the first time Seren has managed to climb her way into the record books.

In 2022, she became the youngest person to complete the Three Peaks challenge in under 48 hours - which is the Britain's three highest peaks.

She already has plans for next year, she wants to climb Mont Blanc, which is the highest mountain in the Alps.

Seren said the best thing about climbing is spending time with her dad and "seeing the nice things" on the mountain tops.

Well done, Seren!
