Update from CP6




9am. We’re waiting at Falls Creek (CP6 at the mid-way point of the 85km trek) for the first teams to arrive. It’s been raining hard all night, so the teams will be pretty wet and tired by now. A recent radio report put the leaders through CP5 (the top of Mt Feathertop) as follows:

Blackheart.com.au 3:30
Blackheart Salomon 4:47
Bull of Africa 6:25
Tangerine 7:27
4TC 7:34
Nga Rakau 8:23
Mawson 8:24

Blackheart.com.au don’t appear to have stopped for a sleep yet; we’ll know soon as they’re expected in at CP5 any time now. Stu has ridden off up the track in the wind and rain to look for teams.
