Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?
Make sure you are prepared. Put the work in training and making sure you are in good physical and mental condition. We wouldn't call the circuit an easy trek, it took stamina and fitness but the scenes were incredible. Be prepared with your own med kit and take the things you know you need.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
It definitely made me more aware that the mountains are unforgiving and you must be prepared for every eventuality and that is what makes them so special.
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
We weren't aware that if we didn't book a dome at Ecocamp we could still use their facilities and have the wonderful food there etc. It was a lovely surprise for us. But if we had paid so much more money for a dome, we would have been gutted knowing we would have had all the same facilities with the camping option.
How prepared and excited for Patagonia did you feel?
I was very busy with work before we left and consequently knew I hadn't trained as much as I would have liked. I still got through it and really enjoyed it, but I wouldn't have had to push as hard if I had prepared a bit more. We were very excited when we left, it felt surreal knowing we were going to Patagonia.
