WALK KOKODA WITH MICHAEL MILTON
Posted:
Michael Milton skis down slopes at over 200km/h, has won a dozen gold medals and climbed Africa's highest peak. But Australia's fastest skier says none of it matches the experience of walking the Kokoda Trail.
"Kokoda is like nothing I have ever experienced before. The climate, the jungle, the scenery, the physical and mental challenge, the history. It's almost overwhelming yet so empowering. I can't wait to go again," said Milton.
He and Wayne Wetherall from Kokoda Spirit, the company that guided Milton along the trail that first time, have created the ultimate package. Limited to 12 trekkers, the trip is designed for people who want to explore their limits, wander through paradise and hear stories about Australia's courageous war-time heroes.
The usual Kokoda Spirit package has been modified to allow trekkers to focus more on the physical and mental challenge while they walk alongside Milton. Wetherall believes it will appeal to high level managers and those looking for the edge in business or life.
"The idea is to explore your mental toughness, experience the physical and mental journey and to really learn something about yourself and those around you. Having Michael along is a huge bonus. If you want motivation, he's the guy. The chance to learn what makes him tick and watch him tackle steep hills is priceless."
