8. Captured a picture of the other team, before they spot you, at 5pm at Notre-Dame de la Treille Cathedral in Lille

Neither team won this. Team Green spotted Team Bishop before 5pm but didn't take a photo. Team Bishop thought Team Green hadn't turned up and so left the scene! When Team Bishop returned Team Green took a photo but it was judged after time!

Result - a draw on points, but the judges awarded the win to team Green for having more pictures.

Finished!

Time for some fantastic pizzas in a little Lille restaurant.

On the ferry on the way home.
