Team KAOS reaches finish line in Oxfam Trailwalker 2007 in 37 hrs and 24 min. Photos of the event are here.

The team of Warren, Brian, Bob and John would like to thank all those people who have sponsored us so far. We would also like to thank our support crew for their work during the Trailwalker,

• Tania and Simon Parker
• Bee and Woody Teh and family
• Sonia Porter

without them we would not have finished. Thanks to Byron for keeping our website up to date during the event and a special thanks to those who were there to support us at the finish line.

Team KAOS also thanks all those volunteers from Oxfam who supported the teams along the way, even at 2am in the morning.

Checkpoint 8 - Saturday 25^th August, 5:20pm

Closing in on the finish, Team KAOS has reached Checkpoint 8, the last checkpoint before the end of their journey. Warren is apparently feeling "awesome".

Checkpoint 7 - Saturday 25^th August, 11:45am

Team KAOS reaches Checkpoint 7 and they are all feeling the pain. Well, all except for Bob, who can't wait to finish to get to his soccer game this afternoon.

Checkpoint 6 - Saturday 25^th August, 7:37am

Checkpoint 6 couldn't come too soon for John, as he struggles with blisters on his left foot, although the fact that this is the biggest injury sustained so far is certainly a good sign. Some treatment from the support crew brought some relief, and the team headed back out again at 8:00am to head towards Berowra.

"Survivial." - Warren

"We're in the mode of just trying to make it to the finish." - John
