Oxfam 2007

The Oxfam is one of the toughest trekking competions in the world. It has a total of 100km of trekking through the bushes divided in 8 check points, where the trailwalkers can be assisted by their support crews. Each team is formed by four walkers that should remain together during the whole track.

At the begining, all fresh

Nigh has fallen

Enjoying a hotmeal for a cold night

Myself at the back
The hotmeal tasted like heaven

Paul needing some assistance

James having some blisters

Checkpoint #5 - 51km
The support crew (Jason) also need some rest

But back on his duties
Chicken pasta for the walkers

Checkpoint #6 - 59km

The fatigue is shown in their faces

But these sport drugs kept me smiling

Checkpoint #7 - 72.5 km
Another morning, more than 20 hours on the track

Support crew (Matt & Caroline) looked so happy

But not the boys

After trying so hard, Paul has to retire as his legs couldnt go any longer

Lincoln is resignated, the fatigue has taken him over

James (the army guy) has a litle issue with his feet, he had already lost 3 nails and had blisters everywhere on his feet

So, only one man standing with all the attention of the support crew

Checkpoint #8 - 86.5 km

Yes me.

The happiness of the support crew

99.8 km almost there

Anna and Aloysia wanted to share the last steps of my long trekking

THE END - 100 km !!!!

Too much for my knee, now I need some rest, but Paul is calling me for some beers as a celebration, Uhmm!!

Next year I will do the Blue Mountains Wild Endurance, another 100 km, Ouch!!
