Video Diary - 4 day Trek to Macchu Pichu
Posted at 03:18AM Sep 10, 2007 by CarolB
Our video Staff Pick this week is by traveller Rick Farrell, who took on the Inca Trail to Macchu Pichu in Peru and, other than the odd blister and soggy tent, lived to tell the tale.
Having made the journey ourselves we reckon Rick has done a great job of documenting the trials and tribulations of the walk, while injecting a dose of good ol’ English humour. Anyone who films themselves at 4:30am before launching on an all-day hike also deserves a pat on the back, if not a good lie down.
Check it out here.
This video has been added to our Travel Tales Channel which showcases memorable travel moments.

By now you’ve heard the sad news about Clem Lindenmayer.
As Clem’s family notes in their Thorn Tree post from Kangding, they are "very grateful for the enormous contribution and support of all Thorn Tree members”. We thank you too. We are always heartened by the community spirit and kind acts that emerge on the Thorn Tree whenever a fellow traveller is in trouble.
We can all continue to be inspired by Clem’s adventures, passion and lust for life.
