Ever dream of going on the trip of a lifetime? Here’s what you need to know

from The Mind Full Podcast

This week, I am delighted to share this episode with you which takes you on the journey that I had on both my treks to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and to reach Mount Everest Base Camp - neither of which I could have done without being armed with the right supports, prep-work and people alongside me.In this episode you will hear audio recordings that I recorded on both journeys. I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in spring 2004 and reached Mount Everest Base Camp just a few weeks ago.Before I started on this whole journey, I wished that I could have listened to a podcast with someone with whom I could relate who could tell answer questions that I had such as: -What’s the training like? -What kind of gear do I need? -What are the people like who take these trips? -How fit do you need to be? -What is altitude sickness like (and how do you avoid it?!).Sit back, relax and enjoy as I take you on two of the most incredible journeys!If you're new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!Visit www.dermotwhelan.com for more information and don't forget my latest book Busy and Wrecked is out now!
