Whether you're passionate about mental health, community projects, or just the power of putting one foot in front of the other, this episode will stay with you.

In this episode, Ian Henderson and Steve Fleming chat with experienced long-distance hiker Peter White, who shares his insight into how to prepare for a multi-day walking trail.
