The hardest legs

Last weekend, 8 Big Toes completed the hardest two legs of the Trail. We started at Brooklyn and walked through to Berowra, the majority of which is on beautiful, hilly bushtrack.

Being in relatively close proximity to the event itself, we passed more than a dozen other Trailwalker teams, including the notable Team 550, the last team to be accepted. Meeting other Trailwalkers helped spur us on, as the competitive side kicked in and made us put in some extra steam to make it up the hills. We even befriended Silver Spoons, who will now be joining us for some training.

The trail we walked was familiar ground; approx 29.5kms from Hawkesbury River Station, past Jerusalem Bay, through the vibrant hub of Cowan, and all the way through Berowra Waters to Berowra Station. We chugged along quite nicely and ended up feeling pretty good, with some high heart rates and tender knees but no noteworthy injuries.


The event is less than two months away now and we're feeling pretty pumped!

Don't forget our Fundraising Dinner to anyone who is interested in attending. Details on the left hand box there. We still have a lot of money to raise to help support this brilliant cause.
