Monday, 5th April – Kambora to Finish

 

Well after the slightly flatter legs in the last two walks we decided it was time to up the ante. The last two walks have been 20km so we thought 30km was a good step. It also allowed AJ to experience the last 3 legs.
After some heavy rain over Easter, the weather gods were kinder today. This coupled with the fact that daylight savings finished yesterday meant we headed off from Kambora (CP6) at just before 6:00am in the light. The 10km to Davidson Park (CP7) seemed to fly past, although still have the challenges of tree roots and slippery rocks.

We felt good at Davidson Park so we walked on through and started the next leg to Ararat Reserve (CP8). What should have been a straightforward leg was slightly extended by some minor geographical embarrassments - which way is left Tony? We also caught up with some other fellow Oxfam trainees on this leg and made our way to CP8.
At this stage we took a short break for some snacks that had been in Fred's pack since last year's walk before heading off for the final (and most suburban) leg. After all that sand, grass and leaf litter the bitumen and concrete footpaths of Clontarf are hard on the legs. The Gallipoli Steps are also a challenge on sore knees. Once over the Spit Bridge it was time for some pleasant views over Middle Harbour and Balmoral Beach before another set of steps up on to Middle Head. We eventually arrived at Georges Heights Oval just before 12:00 to the very welcome sight of Lynda with some very filling and delicious rolls.
Overall we covered the 30km in 6 hours which was a great way to work off yesterday's chocolate eggs, and all team members have now walked all legs that make up the 100km trail at least once.

Sunday, 28th March – Sphinx to Kambora

 

This walk took us on the next two legs south from the Sphinx Memorial to Kambora Public School, almost via St Ives Showgrounds. We didn’t quite make it there due to a locked gate that stopped us about 1km from the showground chopping a 21km trip down to an 18km one. Overall the pace was good and the humidity on the day had us drenched in sweat, a good workout.
