The Frontline Walk 2027: Borneo Jungle

I'm taking part in the Frontline Walk: The Borneo Jungle. I'll be tracing the steps of the Prisioners of War who were forced to endure the Death March from the Sandakan PoW camp to Jessleton. The trek includes Mount Trusmadi, Borneo’s second-highest and most challenging peak.

It will be a physically and emotionally tough challenge, but I'm doing it all for a great cause: Army Benevolent Fund, the National Charity of the British Army. They support soldiers, veterans and their families when they need it most.

Please cheer me on by making a donation towards my target.

My Updates

A journey of discovery

throughout my life i have heard so many stories of the jungles of Borneo, especially Sarawak as my stepfather was sent 12 times during the period of 1955 - 66, latterly on active service during the 'Borneo confrontation' during his long 38 year career within the royal signals.
Unfortunately he pasted away in 2025 at the age of 90 and i would like to experience, in some small way what he endured, maybe telling grandads stories for a little longer.
