Gday again my only advice is to train as often as you can , you have youth on your side but alsoit is an advantage to train with the gear you will be taking, make sure you break in your boots and get very familiar with your pack they will be with you for over a week and you need to be good friends!!!! Do you know wich way you will be going?cheers…

G'day Chloesounds like you are in good hands and are preparing well. The only advicei would offer is just walk at your own pace, it is not a race and you will make it.it is tough but there is plenty of time and your porters take pride in makingsure you complete this amazing journey.cheers mikmac

hii thought most trek companies hire out tents. When i trekked we had 1 man tents that were water proof and insect proof. I did take my anti malaria tablets but the best way to avoid it is not get bittenmikmac

oh yea – wanted to mention that i was very lucky with a mostly dry walk so was able, to take lots of video with a standard video camera. i carried it in a leather pouch attached to my chest. ( thinking if i fall i would most probably protect this area of my body). the only trouble i had with moisture was after the " boots of crossings' where…[Read more]

Very good tips. Very important to be as prepared as possible. I hired a share porter when i trekked in july 2007 – purchased my boots and pack along time before i went and packed it with the gear i would be carrying on the track. i trained when ever i got the chance lots of hills .this allowed me to get used to the weight and become familiar with…[Read more]
