Preparing to trek
There are four main chapter headings that help you plan the details of
your trek. The detailed trek descriptions offer information on the most
extreme conditions that you are likely to encounter, and the styles of trekking
that will or will not work on a given route. For example, you cannot trek
from lodge to lodge on routes where these do not exist, or take large groups
where there is no space to camp!
|
The main subject headings are:
|
|
 Trekking styles, life
on trek, dealing with staff and local people.
|
Reasonable goals, trekking
seasons and trail quality. |
|
Preparations: what to
take with you on trek (and what to avoid.)
|
Health-related topics,
emergencies and communications. |
Taken together, these texts amount to around 100 A4 page-equivalents
of detailed information. They are copiously illustrated, although some are
optimised for you to print out and take with you on trek.
