Quote for the week: Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions. Dalai Lama

Hello friends!

I hope your are in good health & happy and had an enjoyable weekend.

Well, the countdown is on….26 days until team “Base Camp Everest” depart for a Himalayan adventure of a lifetime!!

I have a wonderful group of first time trekkers to Nepal…the team consists of: Erica, Jess, Susan, Craig, Danny, Glenn, Patrick, Peter and Neil (our dedicated QLD team member). I will also be taking Cassie our documentary maker.

I will be guiding the trek and have a support crew of over 25 of the best Nepalese climbing Sherpas & guides, cook, kitchen boys and porters. My Nepalese staff are simply amazing!

I pride myself on quality and excellence which is reflected by my Nepalese support staff to ensure all my team have a life-changing Himalayan trekking adventure! A holiday to enjoy and gather memories that will last a lifetime…not to mention an achievement that few dare to attempt!

 Not many people experience life trekking to an altitude of 5500m above sea level and stand at the base of the highest mountain in the world, Mt Everest!

Team training has been going extremely well, we spent yesterday morning (some of our team members pictured above and below) striding up the very “hard core” Glasgow track in the Dandenong Ranges, Montrose. It’s a beautiful view from the top as you can see in the photo above!

Many of the team members have been doing regular training sessions using my simulated altitude training unit. This is a supplementary training tool to prepare their bodies and mind for the demands of high altitude exposure.

Next week our team will spend the day hiking around the stunning surrounds of Lake Mountain and in the coming weeks conclude with a day hike around Wilsons Prom….just to get the final few miles in our legs prior to departure on March 9!

 Would you like to experience the challenge of trekking to the base of the highest mountain in the world?

Bookings are now open for my second Base Camp Everest Trek 2012 : September 21 – October 9

I look forward to hearing from you!

Have a happy and healthy week everyone!

Smiles always

Cherie 🙂
