The support crew have been given the green light by officals at Advancetown to approach checkpoint 10.

This checkpoint is a major milestone in the event. At 66kms the competitors will feel the full effects of this enduring race. Syds has a big hill climb that is unrelenting and very exposed to the elements at the summit. Thankfully this year there is little to no wind and the tempature a mild 10 degrees.

We have started cooking the meals and prepared the site with their gear so they can woof down the meals and be off quickly. A big mistake is to spend too long at this checkpoint.

Since Numinbah we left Maz and Dylan who have returned to their cosy homes in Brissy. We spent sometime at our friends place up at Beechmont. We were entertained, fed and drank their fine wine, beers and champayne. At last we were pampered by someone else. Many thanks to Bec and her great neighbours for their hospitality.

9:50pm: The gang have arrived. Must go now and pamper them.
