There’s huge pressure on the navigator’s shoulders. Whilst the choice of direction is obvious from the comforts of home, it’s a very different story on the ground as you deal with sleep deprivation, hunger, exhaustion, darkness and thick bushland armed with a compass and crinkly topo map.
.…and then you get lost….. really lost. For some, an excuse for a good laugh and a unique sightseeing experience, but for others it may cost a heartbreaking podium finish. Emotions can run high and the serene sounds of birds and waterfalls are replaced with the less peaceful sounds of #$%@#%##.
But not to let the experience go to waste, for our enjoyment learning experience, we will be voting on the worst most memorable checkpoint of the season…. And with that comes the honour of the famous Marco Polo Award.
Ahhhh there it is...: Night hit and what should have been a quick 10min bike ride turned into a very frustrating hour chasing CP 15. Patience got there in the end for Guido and Julio

Highway to Hell. YES the highway is out of bounds.... NO we don't think they believed it would lead to CP 20.... YES we think they were over it by the time they hit the highway.... Painful to watch them get so close to CP 20 by midnight, before skipping to CP 23 out of frustration.
