Orion are looking totally lost with an hour before daylight. See the spot tracking on the website. Team 5 have been lost all day on a trek, so it cant be easy out there. Heres hoping they sort it out in the next few hours before Robbie's team catch up.

It looks like they are back on track with all roads or tracks to the finish now.
The Orion blog has some excellent commentary

they've made it out to a track (phew) and now seem to have stopped... for who knows what... though if it were me, my brain would be fried and having made it out, i'd be wanting to gobble a box of squeezies and sleep til daylight before going back in there

rather than using the track they were on, they're going back into the hellish squiggle the way they just came out... i really hope they're under control cos MZ and SCB seem to be flogging each other across the tablelands and they're steadily closing...

I think I read somewhere on the PQ site the Saloman team are getting a 3 hr time credit (for having to wait for a tracking device replacement) ... so it may not be over even if they cross the line first

Getting close with Orion 2 or 3 hours ahead, and yes the Soloman team get a 3 hour bonus because they had to wait 3 hours for a new gps, while Orion will get a bonus of maybe an hour for time wasted on a wrong control. I see all 3 teams went off the rails at the same place but Orion had to try and relocate in the dark.

there is also an issue with Salomon maybe going on an out of bounds highway last night, so they will possibly get a penalty for that. It will be v close. fingers crossed for Orion.

They have finished and get a 75 minute adjustment to their time, and it will be close.
Look forward to the relocation story.

Brent was quoted as saying it was the best course he had ever done.
