An hour ago a help call came through from Orion. SAR have just been in to pick them up from somewhere on the later part of the final trek. Brent's ankle had swollen up, and he just couldn't go any further. Amazing they got as far as they did, our friend Nikki's down here from the last TA, she said Fleur had a leech bite on the back of her foot which had got infected, and was so swollen Nikki didn't know how she could have got her foot into her shoe.
We're back at HQ waiting for Blackheart to come in. The race is now for 2nd, between McCain and Merrell.
alpineepic are back here at HQ, pretty disappointed. Shane's cellulitis on his feet was spreading up his legs, and he could barely stand.
Nga Rakau look to have stopped doing circles, and are down in a place that Craig (organiser) says is a good route - rather than up where SCAR currently are.
The other Kiwi team still in the race are ... of course ... the Macpac Girls on Top. They're trucking along on the trek, with a bit of luck they'll make it to Mt Mulligan by late tonight.
