Things are getting exciting! Kokoda is still well over a year away, but I have been talking to the other paid up guest, John "The Hound Dog" Rakic, and we have decided to have a training/info session for anyone who is considering taking part.
We will be having a BBQ at 20 Handley Ave, Thornleigh at 1pm after a "training session" (a walk through the bush) starting at Ern Holmes oval in Pennant Hills at 10.30am. Jason Clarke will be giving a talk on his walk along the Kokoda track a few years ago, then answering any questions people have that might help them make a decision.
Going totally off track, if you would like to ask John or I a question about Kokoda on June 28 between 2 and 2.30, we will be unavailable as we will both be making an AFL comeback, representing the Pennant Hills Demons old boys against "The World" team at Mike Kenny Oval between the reserve grade and first grade matches.
If you would like to join us on the 15th though, let me know so we can cater, and we look forward to seeing you then. For those wishing to join the training session, our tour group, Kokoda Spirit highlight "Specificity" when training - ie, train as you'd walk the track. They recommend wearing all the clothes and boots you'd wear on the track, and carry a daypack loaded with 10-15kg.
If you need anymore information, please give me a call, otherwise we will see you on the 15th
