The majesty of Kilimanjaro, the wonder of Everest Base Camp, the excitement of Stok Kangri or Jordan…Trekking is an accessible and exhilarating way to experience some of the most impressive places on the planet. You’re not held back by masses of kit or the need for special skills. If you’re fit and can put one leg in front of the other, you’re ready – to meet amazing cultures, see the world in a different way and cross landscapes beyond belief.
The trip was fantastic, the winter skills prep was a great opportunity to try new skills and re-master what I’d learnt previously, despite the summit bid being called off the guides found us some amazing alternative activities which I absolutely loved. All of the Alpine climbing and scrambling were real highlights for me. Nothing could have improved this experience, I loved it all. The Hotel in Chamonix was amazing and really comfortable, a great relax after mountain exped. An amazing adventure, despite the disappointment of the weather preventing a summit.
I’d also like to expressly mention the excellent leadership of David Gladwin (head guide) and the amazing assistance of guides Luke Davies, Guy Steven and ‘Stephano’, they were truly excellent, knowledgeable, helpful and hugely supportive. The decisions on the exped were regularly discussed and communicated and we were kept informed of every decision in a clear and timely manner.
