Week 5 of the Nomad Overland Rally — the Teams are at the “halfway” point of the competition and this week saw a bustle of activity as many of the teams are out adventuring around the country. More teams are building up their points totals and we now have five teams with more than 3,000 points, eleven teams over 2,000 points and fifteen who’ve surpassed the 1,000 level. There was some movement around the leaderboard again this week, but Team 117 Lucas, with 4,350 points, is still holding on to first place for the third week in a row. Team 101 Mercer climbed into second place with 3,477 points, and Team 129 Astor (Team NC Old Man Overland) jumped into third place with 3,233 points. The Week 5 Challenge, “Outdoor Skills,” took a look at the teams’ knowledge of the wilderness, emergency survival, weather and natural navigation. The teams still have one more week to attempt it. Meanwhile Challenge #6 was released this morning and it involves paper maps and roadbooks.
