I reckon there would be a good few folk interested in this event.
https://trailwalker.oxfam.org.au/

And for those of us that cannot participate, perhaps we can give support in some other way.

People, feel free to use this topic to give your team a plug!

I have knowledge that someone from this team is a member of the forum! https://trailwalker.oxfam.org.au/team/home/14251

My son and his wife are walking. I hope to be there as there support person - if I can steal a day off work. I'll get to drive the 4x4, set up the tent and supply the gateraid. I'll avoid the 100Km in 48hrs bit - 'cause I wouldn't make it - not even in my dreams. :)

My son in law, sister in law and nephew are all walking the Melbourne walk and aiming for under 20 hours.
I'm in the vital role :roll: of pit crew, keeping them fed and watered etc. But I will walk some with them to hopefully
boost their spirits a bit. I've been involved helping out 4 times now. It is a very hard slog physically and mentally
they are all champions in my eyes.

If you would like to make a donation, the teams are out on the trail this weekend.

My son and daughter in-law are participating in Victoria.

We are dusting off the equipment and vowing to never do it again.....but I've said that 5 times now (as support not a walker).
