This year 7 teams managed to complete the challenge with their eggs intact ,Tom & Steve ,Miles & John ,Ted ,Tom ,Luke and Alex ,Ian Dawn and Ell,Vicky and Russell and finally  Phil Laura and Emma. The deciding factor for the winner was the proximity to the target which was achieved by the Hackney team ,Phil’s lateral thinking used his roll of tape to add stability to their entry ,there were valiant attempts by all who entered and one particularly cheeky entry from Ted who used the full length of his parachute lines to minimise the drop. Well done to all entrants .
