Tuesday Tune-In Episode 197: Celebrating 8 years of EverTrek Adventures

In Episode 198, Andy & Dave delve into those tough moments on a challenge or trek when things get just that little bit tough. You know the times when you've hit that 10ft high wall and it doesn't seem like there's any way over it. Until that is, you smash through it and reach the other side! It was a great live with lots of good questions about things like how to dig deep when things do get tough, also discussions on pre-trip anxiety, and how to prepare for your first altitude trek.

In Episode 197, we’re celebrating 8 incredible years of EverTrek adventures! It’s been an amazing journey since we first started, and we took some time to reflect on how it all began, with our very first trip to Everest Base Camp in September 2016. That trek was the start of something special, and in this weeks episode we talk about the first journey, the most recent and more or less everything in between!  A huge part of what makes EverTrek so special is our EverTrekker community. We've been so lucky to learn so much from those who’ve joined us on treks over the years, and it's that community spirit that continues to shape how we approach every adventure. We couldn’t be more grateful for the camaraderie, insights, and friendships we've built through our trips. This episode is all about looking back at the past 8 years—full of stories, lessons, and a lot of personal growth for us and the EverTrek family.

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. We also held a really enjoyable live training last Wednesday evening on Kilimanjaro and suffering with altitude issues was the Number 1 question or concern thing that came up when attendees were asked about the trip. So in this ep 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 and take on 5 altitude myths. 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣  Products featured in this video: https://evertrek.co.uk/holidays/everest-base-camp-trek https://evertrek.co.uk/holidays/ultimate-island-peak-and-everest-base-camp-expedition https://evertrek.co.uk/holidays/kilimanjaro-the-long-way CONTACT US: Email: [email protected] Phone: 02920 003216 FOLLOW US: Facebook: facebook.com/evertrekuk Twitter: twitter.com/evertrekuk Instagram: instagram.com/evertrekuk Tiktok: @EverTrekUK Find the ultimate challenge in high altitude trekking at EverTrek evertrek.co.uk
