On today’s episode we’re traveling to the jungle of Papua New Guinea where Justin Jennings, Huw Rogers, Si Lewis, Darren Roberts, and Jamie Porter traversed the 100 km Kokoda Track out and back supported by the local guides of TruWarrior.
Host Heather Anderson is joined by two of the team: Huw and Justin. They share the logistics of planning the unheard of feat of completing the Kokoda out and back in the time it takes most people to travel one way. They also talk about their history with incredible feats as fundraisers for Brecon Mountain Rescue and how this historic trail came to be on their radar. Tune in to learn about how they pushed through humidity, 1940’s trail conditions, trenchfoot and more to achieve their goal.

Enjoyed this episode, a bit of a different perspective as these folks are "in the FKT scene" per se. Went to check out the FKT page for the Kokoda track, it would be cool if they were able to add their time and team members to the route? Also, wanted to point out that the 3 guides that completed the trek with them should be listed by name in this podcast title and share the FKT with them...
