An avid hiker, Ingrid Messner has travelled to over 50 countries and most recently hiked Australia’s 10 highest peaks, carrying about 18kg of gear and equipment, over the space of a week.
She’s come along way from the experience she shares in this episode: of having to learn to walk again - twice!
The first time after a hiking accident in 2017 (which took 11 months of recovery) and the second after contracting a viral infection in 2019.

A few weeks ago, Sparta Chicks Radio celebrated its 4th birthday.
And there is no-one I’d rather share that celebration with than Lucy Barnard!
Lucy is attempting to become the 1st woman to walk the length of the world.
She set off in February 2017 from Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina to walk to Barrow, Alaska; a journey of 30,000km /20,000mi across 15 countries she anticipated would take her 5 years.
Yes, years.
Lucy was first on the podcast in March 2018.
When I was preparing to speak to Lucy for that episode, I realised we share a unique connection; we both started our respective journeys - Lucy started walking and I published the first podcast - on the very same day in 2017.
That conversation turned into our first anniversary / birthday celebration and we agreed to catch up each year for an update on her progress!
This is our 4th annual episode and Lucy joins me to share how 2020 unfolded for her.
