I'm currently a spent man, at this stage the mascot role sounds daunting!

Nick you do great justice to your pseudonym so I'll have to find another suitable one.

Well done Paul, you must have a very good battery on on your laptop. You guys got the power back up there yet?

Nic I'm gobsmacked that you've gone to the trouble of counting posts - what next a word count? Maybe ask Fraser and Simon for a premium service for a fee that updates to the page and has a post and word count

Power is on but no hot water.
Unlike our tough friends from Wicked Welly who sit around their computers in not much more than a thermal Y-string, we feel the cold when it gets down to the lower regions.

Just realised the maps are on the web. The rock looks as tho it might be harder to read than usual, with more distribution and less clustering which would let you read it in a macro sense? Can't see Dave Miller coming back to orienteering anytime soon.

I guess that rock is useful as a feature to create navigation challenge when there is enough of it to stop each bit being easily identifiable (like a series of beacons) but not so much as to be beyond mapping (like trees in a forest). I wonder what other features we might discover that would perform this function?

Oneman, dya wanna count Blair's posts? He even had time to post onto the Attackpoint Forum!!

And (looking at his training log) he's been calling the Oz Schools events, running the public races, and nibbling away at an objective to visit 103 temperature monitoring sites that he uses data from round Australia. He ran out to the one at Dubbo Airport. He's posted the analysis of his Oz Champs run already.

the bastards took away our free internet while we were out at the relay. there's a few stories behind the runs, something will go up on the blog tomorrow evening when we start arriving back in nz.

on behalf of the team, thanks for all the support. If anyone wants a Supporters shirt there may be a couple size M left over

Everyone who ordered a shirt is getting one, they were all taken over to Australia for distribution, and the ones that weren't claimed there are now back in the country, with the following people (to save on postage)

South Island - Georgia Whitla
Wellington - Malcolm Ingham
Palmerston North - Frances Peat
Auckland - Martin Peat

We'll be in touch!
