 | Inca Trail - Day 2 Starting the trek part way down the Inca Trail at Wayllabamba (having just done the Salcantay Trail) we set off for the highest pass well acclimatised. |
 | Inca Trail - Part 2 As I have become a more experienced filmmaker, I have come to the opinion that for me, it is people that make interesting viewing. This is one of the main reasons I enjoy travelling. I like going to unusual places and meeting people from all walks of life. Perhaps if people travelled more, the world would be better educated about others and there would be less racism. This is part of a 2-hour documentary I made of my travels across South America in the summer of 2007, and focuses on a 4-day hike through the Inca Trail. This is part 2 of 3, so be sure to view all 3 parts if you want to see the full journey. We used an Australian company called Intrepid Expeditions and our guide was a man named Wilfredo, who lives in Peru. Our porters were also local to the area, provided by a company called Llama Trek. They really did go out of their way for us; just take a look at the food they cooked. On my travelling companions birthday they baked a cake and all the ingredients were carried with the rest of their stuff. Those who have ever thought about walking the Inca Trail will find this a useful insight into what to expect. I hope others will find it educational and informative. The walk is hard as you will see, but anybody who is reasonably fit should be able to complete it without any major problem. You will need extended insurance because of the high altitude. Most people do this walk in groups of about 200, but ours was a group of 6 and we really felt we benefited from the personal service. We didn't "do" the Inca Trail to cross it off the list, as some people would put it. We experienced it and it was a memory that will stay with us forever. Without wanting to sound like an advert, I would definitely recommend Intrepid Expeditions to anyone not interested in being kept in a plastic bubble and wrapped up in cotton wool, but who wants to walk off the beaten track and see the place for what it is, and to meet real people and be shown around by local guides. Enjoy! |

 | Expedition Medicine Course - Lake District The aim of the Expedition Medicine course is to provide aspiring and experienced expedition doctors, nurses paramedics and advanced medics with the skills and practical knowledge to become valuable members of an expedition team. The UK expedition medicine course is intensive and thorough, drawing on the wealth of skills within the expedition medicine faculty. The Expedition Medicine team has been selected not only for their academic qualifications but also for their expedition experience, and for their ability to put across the passion and enthusiasm with which they regard the subject- they probably represent one of the most select teams of expedition experienced teachers in the UK and their expedition experience ranges from Antarctica to Namibia, from China to Chile. They continue to be active in their varied fields of expedition and wilderness medicine and we are very lucky to be able to gather them all in one place at the same time. We are honoured to have one of the worlds leading experts on Altitude Medicine, Dr Jim Milledge joining our faculty staff in 2007. Jim was part of the legendary Silver Hut Expedition in 1960 led by Sir Edmund Hillary with Dr Griffith Pugh as the Scientific Leader. Other members included John West and Michael Ward. He is an author on many scientific papers and one of three authors (with West and Ward) of the standard textbook High Altitude Medicine and Physiology; the fourth edition is in press. |
