There is another alteration to the 2009 course posted this month. The infamous checkpoint 7 to checkpoint 8 stage has been revised :
The 2009 Oxfam Trailwalker - Might as well be in Holland
Previously this stage was a full on vertical assault necessitating the use of fixed ropes ( not joking ). The kind of stage you fear for the entire event, hate when actually doing it, and then respect it calmly afterwards. Now .. what has happened ?
Kids today.
I am interested in doing the 2009 Oxfam walk. Being in australia I was wondering if I can link up with a team in Japan ?

Rob,
Probably, just a case of finding someone/someteam that has a vacancy and doesn’t mind joining up with someone whom ( presumably .. ? ) isn’t going to be available for training/bonding/arguing sessions before the actual event.
Anyone in Japan reading this who fits the above profile, comment here and I’ll hook you up by email.
