OXFAM Trailwalker - Shall I or shan't I?

Just took myself for a test drive to see how far I could walk in one hour. The OXFAM Trailwalker is 100k in 36 hours.

I walked briskly around Bucklands Beach Penisula - great excuse to get out and walk along the beaches. It took me 1 hour and 5 mins to get home again. Then clocked it in the car = 8ks.

So, at 7 kilometres an hour, I should be able to do 100ks in 15 hrs, excluding toilet stops, snack breaks, blister-aid and injury.

The training schedule on the OXFAM website is daunting. There's no way I can find up to 8 hours to go for a walk just for training. I'll have to pick up jogging again, interspersed with walks.

Next thing is to get the team committed and register, then start fundraising (I think that's the hard part).
