This is always a tricky point !! How fit do you need to be ??

I believe I’ll be fit enough though I don’t actually class myself as particularly fit !!?? For example, the hills I walk every weekend, I see people able to run them (I wouldn’t be able to do that). I walk 25 miles of very hilly terrain (takes me about 8ish hours of walking, 10hours including breaks). I do this once a week and am also doing some weights during the week. I feel the one long walk is enough (I’m done doing small 3-4hour walks).

Also, my current weight is that I’m a little underweight (by about a kilo), but believe that I’ll be losing (from what I’ve been told) about 1/2 a stone.

What is the weight ‘ranges’ of people doing this sort of trek ?? Are their ‘plump’ people (people with a few excess pounds) managing to get to Base Camp ??

This may sound a bit obsessive, but it’s this area that makes me the most anxious.

Regards,
