From the moment I signed up for the trek Cherie was in touch with me constantly. I signed up for the 8 week training package which was the best thing I did as Cherie ensured I was fit and ready for the trip. Her experience and expertise is invaluable. She takes care of every detail so we could buy clothing and equipment at incredibly discounted prices to advise about food, nutrition, and training. Cherie phoned me every week checking if I was ok and going well with training, her constant support and encouragement kept me on track. On the trip, Cherie constantly checked on our wellbeing. Every day she checked our pulse rate and oxygen level which was reassuring. She knew what our individual goals were and she made sure we achieved them. Cherie is an incredibly strong and fit guide who is dedicated, thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable, fun and caring and now a great friend, we all had such a fun and amazing time thanks to Cherie and her team of guides. It was a life-changing experience and I can't wait for the next adventure and it will be on one of Cherie's trips. She's simply the BEST!
I first met Cherie in September 2010. I was part of a charity expedition going to Island Peak (Nepal). Cherie was the team's trainer for the trip and I don't think anyone forgets their first impressions of Cherie. My thoughts were – well this PT certainly knows her stuff and backs it up with huge mountaineering credentials. Cherie was very clear from the start as to what needed to be achieved and exactly how each member of the expedition could do that. You wont be disappointed with Cherie as your trainer. Her passion for the mountains is also clear and her mountaineering resume is impressive. Lastly, I cannot think of anyone better to take you to high places. You get a personal trainer before the expedition and then that trainer is also your guide on the mountain. Cherie knows you, your background and how to get you to the summit safely.
The Annapurna trek was my very first trek and I had an absolutely wonderful time. I felt very well prepared before I started the trek because I had Cherie help me get fit, this included simulated altitude training which was excellent. She was a truly fantastic guide every step of the way. Personally, it was a very growing experience and I learned a lot during the whole process of the journey. I highly recommend Cherie's trekking company. She has a great deal of expertise and is very very supportive of everybody. It was just a wonderful experience, I had a great time. Thank you Cherie.
I walked the Annapurna Circuit with Cherie as a circuit breaker to get away from my day to day life and just do something totally different and out of the ordinary. Last year I did the Everest Base Camp trek with Cherie which I got a huge amount out of so I thought I would come back to see the other side of Nepal. . I had so much fun, the group of people Cherie brought together created great team dynamics. I highly recommended this trip! Thank you Cherie for making this possible, your encouragement, friendship, and love of what you do; the country of Nepal and its people is very special.
