LBC Special HK4TUC Part 1

Welcome to this special version of the Lantau Base Camp podcast. It is different from the normal podcast we do since it is mostly about the Hong Kong Four Trails, a challenging event set up here in Hong Kong by Andre Blumberg, and we are a big fan. The challenge is about doing Hong Kongs 4 major trails backwards, from end to start. The last trail is the Lantau trail, and start and ends at the Mui Wo postbox very near our shop. Andre will join us this podcast, and it is interesting as you can almost hear his thoughts evolving during this podcast on how the next edition should be. It is recorded in two parts. We originally recorded this on monday evening, the 4th of January 2016, which is around 84 hours into the challenge. Andre has been up most of the time since the start on friday morning 8 am, and is still waiting for more survivors to finish. So you will get fresh opinions and impressions from a not so fresh Challenge Director. Unfortunately we got interrupted by the finish of two survivors, and we had no chance to finalise the podcast there and then. So what happened is that we had another session over Skype on the wednesday after, and interestingly Andre's thoughts already progressed on what had happened during the challenge and how it should go next year. In this first part, we’ll talk mostly in general about the approach and set up of the four trails challenge, while in the second part we will talk more specifically about the participants as they went through the challenge and Andre’s observations in regards to how people handled themselves on the trail and between the trails. Now in order to introduce the audience to the phenomenon of the Hong Kong Four Trails Challenge, herewith first some audio bites freshly taken at the finish of Tom Robertshaw, the fastest survivor, Jeri Chua, the fastest and only woman survivor, and John Ellis, third place survivor.
