Source2Sea 2010 - The Journey (final day - stage 7)

Spirits and confidence were running high on the morning of the final day, with teams eager to earn as many of the 700 points on offer over the final two stages. 

Par for course all teams arrived at the start line with time to spare...except Royal Mail who scraped in just in time!  Although it could be down to their map reading skills, "we're all rubbish at reading a map - we're the sat nav generation"  was a result of one particular 'courageous conversation'.

Stage 7 and 8 both involved kayaking and trekking, which brought about some fantastic learning opportunities - not least of which were how reading the brief was key to success, it's not always the team who set off first that will win...and most importantly, UK rivers are freezing at any time of year, as witnessed first by team Milton Keynes!!

Unfortunately after a reported breach of safety, team Gent's brilliant effort to win stage 7 was shattered on the team's disqualification. Which meant that Royal Mail was awarded their first stage win with a maximum 200 points, closely following by CI Method on 199 points and team Procurement on 189.

This left the overall scoreboard looking incredibly close and it was all to play for in the final stage.

1. Procurement 1769
2. CI Method 1567
3. East Kilbride 1538
4. Midlands 1476

10. Milton Keynes 925
