Trailblazers - Support Crew

Duncan & Gaewyn who have both done the Oxfam Trailwalker at Taupo twice before (2006 & 2007) are going to be the support crew to the Trailblazers team in 2008. Jo & Nadine who did the Oxfam Trailwalker in 2007 with Duncan & Gaewyn as members of PDL Pumas team are doing Trailwalker again in 2008 as members of the Trailblazers team

What does a Support Crew do?
  • Drive the team support campervan between checkpoints
  • Prepare the team food and drink
  • Health & Safety Assistance
  • Provide morale boosting support
  • Monitor the team Progress

We have had 2 practice runs supporting Trailblazers

  • Trailwalker Training Weekend, Taupo in February 2008
  • Waitakere Ranges Training Walk in March 2008

Roll on Trailwalker at Taupo 5th-6th April 2008. I am looking forward to being on the "other" side this year
