Oxfam Trailwalk 5th-6th April - YouthLaw team

I went down to Lake Taupo on April the 4th with mum. Neha had organised a walking team for YouthLaw consisting of:

Herself
Nick
Effie
Me

We also had a support team of:

Jeanie (YouthLaw)
Harvena (YouthLaw)
Luke (YouthLaw MSG)
Robin (My mum)

It was quite an experience. We woke up on Saturday at 5:45am ready for the 7am start.

The walk during the day was good, we were all in high spirits and the support team at each checkpoint did a wonderful job of feeding us and giving us massages. After-dark was a different story, I must've injured my knee at some point and this kept getting worse the more I walked. I carried on for another 20km with a limp, but gave up at around 2am, having done 65km of the 100km walk; the st johns officer said I'd torn a ligament and it could be permanent damage with risk of more damage if I kept walking. So Neha, Nick and Effie kept going through the night, finishing the walk, with no sleep, just under 32 hours later at around 3pm on Sunday.

What an effort! Check out our team page here:
