Description: In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam chats with Robin Boustead & Jeff Ballard, who are spearheading the development and expansion of the 4,500km long Great Himalaya Trail. Robin has been trekking in the Himalaya for decades, conceiving a route across the entire range in the early 2,000s. Since then, Robin has hiked and mapped extensively to form a legitimate thru-hike across multiple countries. Jeff thru-hiked the Nepalese GHT and has jumped on board to help digitise the trail and provide more information and increased safety for trekkers.
