Update: Tips!

Hey, 

I've been looking up what to do concerning food, drinks etc, whilst I'm in the rainforest.

I'm NOT to take any water from any stream, lake or waterfall, and I'm only to take large bottles of clean, natural spring water or mineral water (despite them being bad for you in large amounts).

Food should really only be eaten when in times of extreme hunger etc, but I'm sure I'll keep on top of that!

I'll most definitely have to wear protective, but loose fitting, cotton clothing to keep me cool and to prevent any mosquitoes bites. My pants will have to be long and tucked into my walking boots to prevent any bites from ants to snakes.

I'll have to bring some waterproof ponchos or something to help me keep dry, as the rainforest can get particularly wet during the very long rain hours. I've also seen that talcum powder is quite helpful to put on my feet to keep them dry for putting on socks and shoes.

I'll be looking other stuff up soon, for other things such as what foods to bring and eat (although I'm sure we'll be eating something with the group anyway) and any good gadgets I can use to help me during darkness or anything else.

Update: WiFi!

Hey,

So I've just realised that there might not be any sort of generator in the campsite, which would be beneficial for me to update this blog, and talk to friends and family etc about how things are going.

Apologies!!

Hey everyone,

I apologise for the lack of posts these past few weeks, despite saying I'd post every 2 days. I've been caught up with school work, mini tests I'm doing at home, university applications etc etc etc, and I've simply had no time to update!

I promise to update more regularly with anything I find that'll be beneficial to my expedition!

Future Plans for Fitness!

Hey!

So I've been going to my school gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday lunches for an hour, and I've been coming home, doing work and then going on either a short run or doing some weightlifting with my Dad, who had gladly joined me in getting fit!

I've recently been considering doing the INSANITY challenge, otherwise known as the "world's hardest workout, without the use of weights or a gym".

It's one years worth of training, all packed into two months! You should see the results from some people, it's amazing and also quite weird to see someone so clearly physically unfit, become covered in muscles!

I don't know whether to do it yet, as it's 45 minutes a day, 6 days a week, and the only time I can do it, will be past 9pm, when I'm too tired to do anything and I'm watching TV with the family haha!

Fitness and stuff!

Hey everyone,

So I'm starting a fitness plan to help benefit my stamina etc for when I'm hiking up the inclined terrain in the rainforests of Honduras!
It'll also help me feel better about myself and my mind etc, so I hope to feel and look good!

I've looked at protein products, for the extra muscle bulking, if needed, like smoothies, bars and powders etc. I've also been trying to start my own calorie counting and diet etc, and I've started doing my exercises. I've got to keep fit!

Been a while... Update: Clothing Companies etc

Hey guys, 
So I've been emailing a few clothing companies for donations of tops that I can wear whilst in Honduras, take a photo and then help them boost their status etc!
Many companies haven't even replied, but I got a reply from TWHOLA (To Write Love On Her Arms) and they're happily sending two tops for me to wear and take pictures of!
This has really made me happy and I can't wait to go on the trip!!

Update: Glucose Tablets??

So I've found some glucose tablets, and I'm really surprised at how cheap they are! 
I can get some Lucozade glucose tablets for 50p at Tesco etc, and then dextrose tablets for a bit more, but then I can get a tub of 50 for around £4 which isn't too bad!
