In this weeks episode we discussed all things canyoning and white water rafting. And recommended 2 sites to get some great info that include Manawa.com and awe365.com. We talked about where you can do this and what gear you're gonna need!!

We also explored the Portes Du Soleil area, that includes the towns of Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz and Chatel on the French side and Champéry, Morgins and Les Crosets on the Swiss side and everything that this superb area ha to offer.

And finally we took you on our bucket list trip to Route to Everest Base Camp itself.

We looked at that trek itself, what you need to do it, what gear you need, and how fit you need to be and exactly what the route looks like...

The journey to Everest Base Camp typically begins with a flight into Lukla Airport also known as Tenzing-Hillary Airport. 
From Lukla, trekkers follow the legendary trail known as the Everest Base Camp Trek, which winds through picturesque Sherpa villages to Namche Bazaar (2,860 meters) to Namche Bazaar (3,440 meters), the busy hub of the Khumbu region. This stretch involves crossing suspension bridges over rivers, ascending stone staircases, and passing through dense forests of rhododendron and pine.

Then Acclimatization stops are planned at strategic points such as Namche itself

The next stage is Tengboche (3860) to Dingboche (4,410 meters) and then Lobuche (4,910 meters)
Then Lobuche onwards  the final leg to Everest Base Camp (5,364 meters) and involves navigating glacial moraines and rocky terrain.

The Intro and Outro music today was supplied by Rob himself on the guitar singing a Rod Stewart classic. 

Our next winter episode will be out on the 4th of October as we now take a break for the summer.
