Customer Testimonial
Hi Mick,
Just a quick line to say thanks for a fantastic day on
Saturday, it was thoroughly enjoyable despite the persistent rain. The 16 plus mile
hike was definitely challenging; I thought everyone did extremely well & yep even
little old me.
The insight gained from experiencing something representative of how a typical day on our respective challenges may leave us feeling was I'd say pretty invaluable. Your briefing was also both reassuring & highly informative, so along with Lee's input & with all the Kilimanjaro anecdotes I really feel that I now have a much greater appreciation for what may occur during my December attempt on Kilimanjaro.
For me the day certainly provided answers to many an important question. I'm hopeful
too that I'll also get to put even more theory into practice a little earlier & along
with you guys in November with the coming Toubkal ascent, that being the case then
I'll also undoubtedly be heading back down your way for a North Downs re run around
mid October. In the meantime I'll look forward to your further updates on the Toubkal
trip.
Anyway it is bye from me for now Mick & once again my many thanks.
Best regards,
Justin
Mick Cain is one of the directors of Trek Hire UK who has been on many expeditions to Africa, in recent times summating three mountains (Longido, Meru and Kilimanjaro) and he would like to share with you some interesting facts that he has learnt along the way.
It was due mainly to Mick’s preparation, fitness, military training and some good company that got him through this particular daunting three peaks challenge and he is happy to pass on the same sort of knowledge and guidance which will enable you to complete your particular trek hopefully trouble free.
Most of the day will be spent walking the mini three peaks (17 miles undulating) as we like to call it. Before and during the walk, Mick will be going through particular items of interest regarding equipment that will be useful on high altitude treks along with techniques and the best ways in which to use them to your advantage. Lets face it, for people going on a trek for the first time, information and good advice is hard to come by.
Mick won’t be telling you what to do, just advising you on how to make the most of what could be a once in a lifetime experience.
Topics to be covered:
- Layering up (Techniques and body management)
- Walking Pole (Techniques and Maintenance)
- Hydration
- Altitude Issues
- Hygiene (feet, hair etc)
- Overall Preparation (packing duffle bags and daysacks)
These trek training days are available on Saturdays only!
