There’s a well known saying many people would be familiar with and that’s ‘It’s about the journey, not the destination’. But is this the case?
In this podcast episode we discuss this saying and came up with very different answers on what’s important. www.australianhiker.com.au

AH 288-Kgari Great Walk - expectations and hesitations

AH 287-It's all about the journey or is it?

In 2022 a new long-distance hiking trail opened and for once this wasn’t in the USA. This new track called the Hexatrek, solely based in France, joined up a series of pre-existing tracks and takes in 14 National Parks to create a 3034 km journey through some of the most amazing scenery that France has to offer.
In this podcast episode we catch up with New Zealand hiker Claire McCall who undertook this walk with her husband James just after the track officially opened. www.australianhiker.com.au
