All gear is now ready, -40 sleeping bag in tote. Heres the email reminder I just got! Looks like I need to be stubborn. Shouldnt be an issue. Remind me again why I sign myself up for this stuff? On a positive note, one of the tree houses apparently makes French Fries. Trekking has been long established in Nepal, providing stunning views in a natural landscape. Often stubborness (endurance) helps. Walk at your OWN pace – slow and steady is the way to go – being fit or unfit is not the primary control here, it is how you deal with altitude. DO NOT RUSH! The only reward for trying to prove something by being first is nausea, vomiting and a splitting headache! GO SLOWLY – plod on at a steady pace, pause, standing to rest – don’t sit too often – it is harder to get going again. Dont care about whether others are ahead! The path is clear, your guides keep track of where you are. There is plenty of time so walk at YOUR pace regardless of how far behind you may think you are. Remember the sun is intense – wear sunscreen and sunglasses. It is going to be much colder than you think.
