Tail End Charlie

The last vehicle in a convoy is called “Tail End Charlie” and they perform an important role in the running of a successful convoy and enjoyable trip.

A good Tail EndCharlie is required to perform vital functions in combination with the Trip Leader and assist with emergency situations or perform back up support for the Trip Leader. 

Some Trip Leaders like to interchange the Tail End Charlie during a trip to give others a chance to have a go at the role, this is ok, but this can also have a negative effect on the convoy if the driver is inexperienced or guidelines and expectations are not known or communicated by the Trip Leader.

We honour Elders past, present and emerging, whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.
