We are entering the 2007 Sydney Oxfam Trailwalker
Team 288: The Hobblers 24 - 26 August, 2007
- We made it! 35 hours and 38 minutes
- $1000 raised for Oxfam Australia projects. See the 2006 map - August 25 to 27, 2006. - Thanks to all the donations, support crew and the Hobblers team!    
Teams need to start together, go through each checkpoint together, and finish together. They have to train and fundraise together beforehand. Oxfam Trailwalker is challenging - but you don't need to be a marathon runner or a professional athlete to do it - with training, and the right mental attitude, just about anyone can complete it.
Oxfam Trailwalker is the world's greatest team challenge. And it's also one of the toughest. The challenge is to get a team of four across 100km of Australian bush in less than 48 hours - and to raise at least $1,000 to help to overcome poverty and suffering around the world.
Oxfam Trailwalker is all about teamwork - it is a great way for friends to bond or for work colleagues to develop team spirit.
Oxfam works in 26 countries around the world including Indigenous Australia. By raising money for Oxfam Australia participants will be making a tremendous difference to people's lives around the world.
The event began in 1981 as a military exercise for the elite Queen's Gurkha Signals Regiment in Hong Kong, and has since grown into one of the world's leading sporting challenges. Oxfam Trailwalker is a global event, taking place annually in New Zealand, UK, Hong Kong and Japan.

2007 Trailwalker Route
Chowder Bay to Brooklyn
24 to 26 August, 2007 100km in 48 hours 2007 Hobblers Team Members Jamie Reeves Warren Backers Maree Crowne Ben Newsome Commencing at Chowder Bay in Mosman on the foreshores of Sydney Harbour, the trail begins its journey by offering the participants spectacular views of the Harbour and through Sydney Heads. After departing Mosman it tracks northward to connect with the first of the bush trail in Seaforth. From the first checkpoint in Frenchs Forest, the next six sections of the new trail will be in part familiar to past walkers and volunteers - only now they will be traveled in a reverse direction. Of the seven checkpoints on these six familiar sections of trail, only four are repeats from 2006. Having reached Berowra, the trail now continues north via Cowan to a triumphant finish in the riverside township of Brooklyn.
