Blackheart win XPD 6th edition

Blackheart are reclining on the winners podium, after arriving at the finish at 8:55pm.

The last 60km trek turned out to be another epic leg, taking Blackheart around 27 hours. That included very little time sleeping, and no particular navigation errors.

Orion and alpineepic were there to greet and congratulate them as they lounged in deckchairs beside the pool on a balmy evening. Craig (organiser) emptied his pockets of electronic devices before they arrived, as, with the pool only a few feet away, it seems he feared a certain amount of retribution.

Brent's next destination is the A&E for some medical advice on his very fat and hot ankle.

And at this point, remaining Kiwi teams .. Nga Rakau are halfway across Lake Tinaroo on their way to the start of the final 60km trek, and Macpac Girls on Top are at Mt Mulligan preparing for the 130km bike leg. The remains of securify and Osprey are just past and just before Mt Mulligan respectively.
