Packing



We're trying not to let nerves get the better of us and most of us (apart from Katie who is sorted)are in the final throes of packing. Food will be done on Thursday night, so sandwiches are sort of fresh'ish, fruit will be cut, camelbacks filled, and the last bits sorted. We're all feeling good, we're keeping a keen eye on the weather, and we're ready to start walking. Katie flies in tomorrow afternoon from NZ, food and gear bags will be dropped with John who's on the first watch as support crew, carbs will be loaded and legs, ankles and feet will be strapped.
Almost the end of a long journey.
We're also watching with amazement as more donations flow through with a super generous donation from YBR Investments capping off a fabulous total - currently we (sorry, you) have raised about $8,600. Incredible.
I'll get a quick blog fix in tomorrow, and see if we can train up our guest blogger, Al (Katie's husband) to give updates as we walk. Remember too, you can watch us on http://www2.oxfam.org.au/trailwalker/Sydney/team/179 and if you get a chance drop us the odd text, we need as much encouragement as we can get!

More tomorrow
