You've got to be in it to win it! In case you've missed it, we're running a competition at the moment to win a trek to Kilimanjaro.   But what happens when you win? This week we're chatting to Kate Ramsay, a previous winner of an Everest Base Camp Trek.   We'll be chatting to her about how winning the trek has changed her life, the journey to EBC and how she coped with the altitude.   A Competition Winner's Story    Some questions that have come up are: >> What happens when you win a trek? >> Is there time to train before claiming the prize? >> Is it worth entering the Kili comp?   So come and join me and Kate as we delve deep and discuss winning a trek and much much more on what's going to be a great show.

A good night's rest can make your trek so getting the right sleeping bag for the trip is essential. We'll go through the ins and outs of sleeping bags to help you get the right one for your next adventure and prove that you don't need to live in a palace to get a good night's sleep.   Don't miss bags of fun   Some questions that have come up in the Facebook group:   What sleeping bag do I need for Island Peak? Shall I get a down or synthetic sleeping bag? What trips and what temperatures need what bag?   So come and join me and Dave as we discuss this and much much more on what's going to be a great show.

It's toe-tally about the feet this week!   Thanks to everyone who came to say hello at Keswick last weekend. It was great to chat with so many of you and meet some awesome EverTrekkers.   A great trek is made with happy feet. Yeti Dave will be covering how to care for your feet in your training and take care of them on a trek. Plus, he'll be sharing his barefoot trials to see if this really does help reduce injuries and recovery time.   Toe-tally about the feet   We've had questions from the Facebook group like:   >> What can I do about blisters? >> Can I trek Kili or Everest Base Camp in trail shoes? >> What are the best boots to buy?   So come and join  Dave for what will be a great Tuesday Tune-In. 

Going on a trek isn't just about getting from A to B and back again.   Imagine if Frodo and Samwise went on a bimble to Mordor and back, meeting no one on the way? It wouldn't make for an adventure. And without a guide, they'd probably get lost along the way.   Having a local guide is more than taking you on the journey, it's sharing their knowledge and experience of the landscape, learning about the cultures, and supporting the local economy. They are the Gandalf to your Frodo (okay, no more Lord of the Rings references, promise).   The Power of the Guides We've had questions from in the Facebook group like:   - Do you use a trip leader on the treks? - When do we get to meet our guides? - Why do you not go on the treks with us?   So come and join me and Dave as we discuss this and much much more on what's going to be a great episode.

What happens when your eyes are red after an 18-hour journey and you're in need of a coffee hit and you walk out of the airport door into the craziness of Kathmandu or the colourful streets of Marrakesh?   Negotiating your way through that first 24 hours can be an experience so we're sharing our best advice from all our years of arriving.   All about arrivals    We've had questions from in the Facebook group like: What's the visa process for Kilimanjaro? What do the first 24 hours of your trip look like? Where can I get a good coffee/drink?   So come and join me and Dave as we discuss this and much much more on what's going to be a great episode.

When we trek we should leave no trace. But what can we do to make trekking more sustainable? Dave and I discuss ways we can enjoy the environment while also making sure we're protecting it as we go. From water filters to the 'Carry me Back' campaign in Nepal, we'll be covering everything we can do as EverTrekkers to protect our planet as we explore it. Plus, we'll be sharing how we're working with Mossy Earth to plant trees. Saving the planet one trek at a time 🌏 We've had questions from in the Facebook group like: ⭐️ What's the best route to do if we want to avoid the 'crowds'? ⭐️ What can we do to avoid disposable equipment?    ⭐️ How can we protect the popular routes but still enjoy them? So come and join me and Dave as we discuss this and much much more on what's going to be a great episode.

It's another episode of the Tuesday Tune-In and this week we talk about the 7 Must-Do's when trekking at high altitude. (Ok, there might be a sneaky bonus one) In our experience over the years and from our EverTrekkers experiences, we have gained quite a bit of insight into what works and what doesn't work at altitude. So today we share 7 of the Must Do's to succeed in getting to places like Everest, Kilimanjaro or Machu Picchu. As well as that we take on everything trekking and altitude-related as always.   It will make a HUGE difference to your trip.   The 7 ‘Must Do’s when trekking at Altitude   We've had questions from in the Facebook group like:   What about pace and if I'm too slow? I don't drink much water will I get away with a litre a day? And I'm feeling anxious about the altitude, any tips?   So come and join me and Dave as we discuss this and much much more on what's going to be a great episode.

We're coming live from a trek for this special 100th episode of the Tuesday Tune-In.   Dave and I will be taking your questions from Toubkal, Morocco and showing what this great 4-day trek looks like from the 'Roof of the North". Okay, we won't be on top of the peak - we're not sure the wifi up there is strong enough to broadcast live but we'll be as close as we can. One of the questions we get a lot in the group is what it's going to be like when you're on a trek and we thought the best way to answer is to show you.   Live from Toubkal - Celebrating 100 episodes   We've had questions from in the Facebook group like: What can I expect on the trip? How fit do I need to be and what training can I do? What's it going to be like when we're there.   Plus, we'll be sharing what's been happening on this 4-day trip in the Atlas Mountains.
