About

Four people, one goal, 100 kilometres, 30 hours.

No sleep ’til Brighton is the Trailwalker team of Alex, Dawn, Nick and Viv and this is our Trailwalker blog. Our challenge is to complete a 100 km walk in less than 30 hours without inflicting violence on each other.

This year’s Trailwalker takes place on 19 to 20 July 2008. It starts in Petersfield, follows the South Downs Way and finishes a gruelling 100km later in Brighton. The event is organised by Oxfam and the Queens Gurkha Signals Regiment and with the help of some generous sponsorship, we’re aiming to raise £2000 for them.

Dawn and Viv are seasoned Trailwalkers. We’re hoping that this is third time lucky - we’ve never managed to finish as a team of four. Joining forces with Alex and Nick this time around, we’ve got a top team and are going to give it our best shot. We’ve nominated ourselves for best team spirit so are going to have lots of fun trying.

Trailwalker is a truly amazing experience. It hurts like hell, makes you cry and sometimes even vomit. It’s also one of the most rewarding and life affirming things that you can do.

Please support us if you can and help us raise tonnes of money for a fantastic cause.
