Happy Birthday Helen! and no, we didn’t sing her that song, she’s heard it enough for a lifetime! We presented her with a “card”, organised and decorated by Maia (a sheet of notebook paper folded in half and covered with messages from the 20 of us!), and her covertly acquired bracelet, and I think she […]
We knew this day’s hiking was going to be tough, we did, after all, expect to climb over 1000m in 8km. I think a few of us believed that no mountain can go on forever, but this one did, we literally climbed it for days. it literally never ends. For this reason, most of us […]
So the promise was that once we’ve done the first day, every other day is easier. However no-one told us that going down, for 10 kilometres of stairs, hurt like your legs were being removed from the knee with two pairs of kitchen tongs. By now we had also worked out that Binod regularly lied, […]
Naomi and Linda asked Binod if we’d have a hot shower tonight. Or complete walls. He said tonight. “It is a 5-Star Hotel?” they asked? “It’s SEVEN stars”, he replied. And that’s what got us out of bed and on the road this morning. The SEVEN Star hotel. We could picture it. Lush, warm sheets. […]
Two nights in one place and our crew is split in two… but don’t worry, it was just for the day! The majority of the crew did a day trip to Kyanjin (3830m) as an acclimatisation and cultural experience. Over 7km, the main group gain 350m and were left gasping in the breaks. This is […]
For Karla’s birthday, she got a cute pajama set from the Women’s Charity Sungabha Nepal, a voucher to spoil herself, and a solid case of vomiting and diarrhea. She opened her presents, and a “card” as best she could (it was a piece of paper with everyone’s well wishes on it), then put her head […]
Oh. My. Goodness. Most of us are asking ourselves why we’re here already. Can we go home yet? Are we done? We climbed almost 1500 metres in altitude today. This is hard at sea level, but when you’re starting at 2000m it’s another thing again. It took some of us 12 hrs to do it […]
It’s Hike Nepal 2024 and we are not getting away without drama!!! We’ve only just met Linda and she’s already ruined everything by getting a BLUE T-Shirt instead of a green one like the rest of the group – except not all of the group had a green one either. Today’s drama started yesterday when […]
Our 2024 gym trip is the first hike we’ve done in Nepal in 6yrs, and is not likely to be the last, but like any of our gym adventures, there was drama and uncertainty. We were tested physically, emotionally, mentally, and in more ways than one – starting with the flight there. We had driven […]
Today we are going to revisit and remember when a handful of our clients did extraordinary things, that seem ordinary from the outside. You have to remember that only 2% of all Australian’s train regularly in gyms, and even fewer are women… There are many things that make IntoYou different from other gyms, and one […]
