    AH 286-Hexatrek

    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

@hopeful! ,

Thanks

Great podcast. New to hiking. Information relevant and helpful. Just did 3 Capes and preparing for Overland. Not knowing anything about hiking and being brand new and raw and green, it’s great to hear you guys and learn some from those who have gone out and done. Thanks.

Something for everyone

I have enjoyed this show from the start. While I am a seasoned walker, I always find new things in episode and joining Tim and Jill’s adventures and interviews, and the good diversity of topics cover. As a scout leader, I often share episodes with parents of my scouts, to help them understand the packing and other thing their scouts need to / is considering as the episodes are so accessible for outdoors and non-outdoors people alike.

Such a great resource for Australian Hikers

As a new hiker Tim and Gills journeys and information has been extremely valuable to me. I love hearing about their adventures and opinions. I often find myself going through their gear lists and reviews when needing something. Thanks so much for all you do for the hiking community.
