Kokoda Trekker, Roy Sproule, walks track bare foot

In May this year, Kokoda trekker Roy Sproule walked the entire Kokoda Track without wearing shoes.  As a child Roy refused to wear shoes and this continued until he was 30 years old (his wife even had to convince him to wear shoes on their wedding day!).  He wanted to walk bare foot as this is how a lot of the villagers traverse the track.  An incredible effort considering the difficult terrain on the track.
