Adventure travel involves an element of the unexpected so do not expect standards to be the same as you are used to at home. Remote areas are sometimes unpredictable (be it because of group pace\, weather conditions\, local bureaucracy\, or other factors) and itineraries may be altered to allow for this.

There may be very basic shower facilities at camp but this is not guaranteed and water must be used sparingly\, so we advise that you don’t rely on this\, and bring a pack of baby wipes.

This could include hill walking\, running\, cycling\, gym workouts\, boot camps\, etc. You can download several free apps to help you train and track your progress\, e.g. MapMyWalk\, C25K\, MyFitnessPal\, etc. \nAttempting to complete the trek without training will make it more challenging than necessary and will be detrimental to your experience\, and the experience of your teammates.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What should be in my trek kit?” style=”round” color=”sandy_brown” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1704471135321{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ffe3d1 !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]The kit list for the trek can be downloaded here.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are the bathroom facilities like?” style=”round” color=”purple” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1704471182519{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #eedceb !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]The hotels have en-suite facilities with flushing toilets and hot showers. Toilet paper should always be placed in the bin\, not flushed. At camp there will be a toilet tent which offers privacy over a pit in the sand. Please put used toilet paper into a sealable nappy bag or sanitary disposal bag and put into the main trek bin bag. \nAfter you have used the toilet\, please cover your waste with sand to avoid smells and flies for the next person who visits the toilet tent. You should not rely on shower facilities being available during the trek so please bring a small pack of baby wipes and a bottle of hand sanitizer for personal hygiene. \nIf you need to use the toilet during the trek day you must find a private area off the trail. You must never leave used toilet paper on the ground; this must be packed up into a nappy bag or sanitary disposal bag\, pop it in your daypack and dispose of it properly at camp (please bring your own nappy sacks with you). You should bring one to two rolls of toilet paper for your own use.[/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_separator el_id=”add-calendar”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nEvent details\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
