WE MADE IT !!!

The Finish - yes the clock says 28:23:28 but we started 1:30:00 after the first group

Well Oxfam Trailwalker is all over for another year and WE MADE IT!!!

The Last Big Walk Before The Event

We were recently allocated our event start time of 0830 on Friday 27 August so with under two weeks to go we headed off for our last big walk before the event.    In order to be as realistic as possible we decided to make our start time close to our actual event start time so it was a bit of a sleep in for us and a Brooklyn start around 0800 - that's our excuse and we are sticking to it!!

11 July - Backing Up with 30km More

With the 50km from last weekend under our belts it was time to see if we could back it up with 30km more.  After week in which we all seemed to be hobbling to varying degrees we decided that we we had recovered enough and should hit the trail again.  As usual it was an early meeting at Berowra Station to travel to Brooklyn in one vehicle.  We arrived at Parsley Bay and got underway at 0551.

Our First 50km Walk & Welcome Back TP

  

Sunrise - Sunset

After a couple of wet weekends and false starts we finally got back out on the trail, and not ones to take it easy on ourselves we planned our first 50km walk for 2010.  It was also a significant event as we welcomed back Tony P after getting the "all-clear" from the Doc to resume training on his dodgy knee.  Given it was TP's first trail walk in some time we decided to plan things so that he could stop at the 30km mark while the rest of us carried on to 50km.  So it was a nice early start again with all of us meeting at Berowra Station at 0540 to leave TP's car and all head off in one car to Brooklyn.  Special thanks to Fred's wife Lynda for coming with us so early in the morning to drive the car back from Brooklyn.
