About this episode

Justin Jennings and Huw Rogers discuss their journey on the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea and the challenges they faced.

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 200-kilometer Kokoda Track out-and back in a supported style with the local guides of TruWarrior. Host Heather Anderson is joined by two members 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 of endurance projects 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, trench foot, and more to achieve their goal.
