Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Seven

Sunday 19th June

And so the event draws to a close. I left the house at about 5.30am to get to Event Control Centre to assist with packing up. As I arrived we still had teams out on the final section of the trail. They finally crossed the finish line at about 9am.

We finally got everything packed up by 10am ish. We then spent time as a team reflecting on the events of the weekend, a time to pause and think about our great friend and supporter Barry. There were both tears and laughs.

Despite the tragedy of losing Barry the event seemed to go off very well, there were issues we can look at for 2012 but for a first year effort it seemed to go very well. There is lots of positive feedback which is encouraging.

It's time now to rest, regroup, put 2011 event to bed and move forwards to next year.
