Australia Day training walk
It was our first time training together as a complete team today! Walking through the lush Sherbrooke Forest was a great way to spend the morning of Australia Day. We walked & navigated with team Back Benders. Onward and upward we went! The next section included the notorious Hackett's Rd Hill...! Thankfully we all made it up in one piece, although puffed! New team rule created- no talking allowed on steep hills, so as to conserve oxygen reserves... Thankfully, the hill is less than a km long- any further and it could be pushing it! Another little stroll up the road, and we made it back to the car. Australia Day training- complete! Belgrave to Olinda, about 13.5km. We thought it would be nice to get our first complete team photo!! Here is Team Pitter Patter! Bonnie, Ad, Kate, Maree & Rin.

Training on the trail
We took to the trail last weekend minus one team member who had to work and couldn't join us...From the start to Belgrave station for Kate and just before that for Rin and Maree (about 32 km in all). Beautiful day and lovely company as we were joined by team members from Back Benders and Pyroclastic Surge. Notes to self - wrap feet BEFORE walking to prevent blisters from hell, sun screen must be applied evenly and best only to think about the next 10 km ahead bat any one time We are all looking forward to our first complete team training on the morning of Australia day - from Belgrave station and up...and up! Loving the challenge!

Welcome!
Welcome, & thank you for visiting the official page of Team Pitter Patter for the 2010 Oxfam Trailwalker! I have been nominated by my team members to be the leader of our team, so here I am... proudly presenting Pitter Patter! It is a very exciting and brand new experience for all of us to be taking part in the Oxfam Trailwalker. I think I can speak on behalf of the team when I say, that, although we are very excited to be faced with this challenge, there is also some anxiety, hesitation & thoughts of 'can we do it?'. And the answer is... there is only one way to find out! So we are tackling the task & the training head on! What better way can we possibly imagine? None. So- Let's do it!! Keep an eye out for our page updates, & to see how we are progressing with our training. Thank you for taking the time to support our team! Lorinda ;)
