I am once again undertaking the Hong Kong Trailwalker, a 100km trek over many of the nastiest and steepest hills in Hong Kong. I am hoping this will be my 8th finish and the 4th finish for my current team. Last year was a killer with temperatures soaring and we crawled home in nearly 33 hours. We redeemed ourselves in May this year doing the even harder Japan Trailwalker in around 28 hours. This year the temperature looks cooler so I hope we get closer to 25 hours.
We are raising money for Oxfam and I greatly appreciate any sponsorship.

Updated on 23rd November:
My team of four completed Trailwalker in 29 hours and 36 minutes. It was not as fast as we had hoped for but still satisfying. 2008 was the hottest Trailwalker on record and 2009 proved to be the coldest. I realize that wind chills below freezing would barely be noticed by our Canadian colleagues, but in Hong Kong we normally trek in shorts and tee shirts. This was the coldest November since records began in 1883.
Many thanks to those who have sponsored me.
