Inside Your Free Adventure Travel Guide
Let's take a closer look at what awaits you within the pages of our free guide:
Travel Health: Navigating the complexities of travel health can be daunting. We simplify the process by providing guidance on vaccinations and medications, emphasising the importance of consulting resources like Travel Health Pro for the most up-to-date information. Rest assured, on your adventure, you'll be in good hands with our team of friendly and approachable medics experts in expedition care.
First Aid: Being prepared is paramount, from minor scrapes to unexpected injuries. We outline essential first aid kits – one compact for on-the-go and a more comprehensive kit for your base camp. Our guide provides step-by-step instructions for wound care and pain management, empowering you to handle common mishaps confidently. And for those "just in case" scenarios, we cover emergency procedures, including using bivvy bags and whistles for signalling for help.
Foot Care: An often-underestimated aspect of adventure travel, foot care can make or break your experience. We offer proactive strategies for prevention, including proper footwear selection, the use of foot creams, and the importance of training to condition your feet. We also provide detailed instructions on blister repair and hot spot management, ensuring that foot issues don't derail your adventure.
Travel: Long-distance travel presents its own set of challenges, from jet lag to the risk of illness. Our guide offers practical tips for mitigating these effects, emphasising the importance of rest, hygiene, proper nutrition and hydration, and awareness of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for recovery and performance, especially during demanding adventures. We provide actionable advice on establishing a bedtime routine, banking sleep, and prioritising rest, even in challenging environments.
Fuelling and Hydration: Optimising your nutrition and hydration is key to sustaining energy levels and preventing dehydration. Our guide offers detailed strategies for pre-race preparation, during-race fuelling, and post-race recovery, including personalised recommendations and advice on electrolyte balance.
Heat, Cold, and Altitude: Adventure travel often takes us to extreme environments, each with its own set of challenges. We provide specific guidance on navigating heat, cold, and altitude, including temperature regulation, hydration, and acclimatisation strategies.
Period Health: An often-overlooked aspect of adventure travel, period health is crucial for women's well-being. We address common concerns, including managing periods while travelling, dealing with symptoms, and choosing appropriate period products.
Toilets on Expeditions: Let's face it; it's a concern! We offer practical advice and address the realities of going to the loo in the great outdoors.
