Santa pics!

Ok, one more... It seems the pics of Santa never went up for done reason!

So here they are, winner of this year's Ben Cream Prize for Peace, Gareth Jones and Christmas Crackers.

Thank you and goodnight!

And then there was one...

Just Ecto1 left now. The cars have been handed over to the Ukrainian
authorities.

The monkey returned after extensive facial reconstruction surgery.
Everyone saw in sunrise after the epic final party which was a huge
success - and we announced that we had raised over £82,000 for the
Teenage Cancer Trust. Brilliant! An amazing feat, made possible by
you. It's not too late to donate- head to http://dumball.org/totaliser
and click on your favourite team to donate. Every penny you give goes
direct to TCT, and young adults in their specialists units everywhere
thank you.

Most dumballers are either on a plane back to blighty or off to Odessa
central for a final night in Ukraine. A few stay on, a few drive back.
But this bit's not in the manual, and the dumball is officially over
for another year. This was a huge dumball.

dumball one, over and out.

Awards tonight!

And everyone is on the beach all day while we wrangle data ready for the spectacular finale ceremony.

Not long now till all admin is over and we can relax.

But it's gonna be a hell of a party.

And the Channel 4 News team have returned from an epic adventure across Europe sans car - planes, trains, no automobile stuff...

It's actually happened!

That way, moldova.

This way, ukraine.

Wow.

Santa Claus is coming to town/Mental Moldova

The border hugging road was the right choice!

We went through the tiniest of villages and out of the blue, Santa
hopped out of Christmas crackers and started dishing out pressies to
the local kids.

Amazing smiles from the local kids, in fact one burst into tears when
she didn't get one, do Santa had to go back and say she had been nice,
not naughty. Excellent Work.

Breakfast cabbage, blanket restaurants, taxi drivers drunker than us
and general bedlam.

We have arrived in Moldova, safe sound and confused. So we set off for
Ukraine, in an 160 wheel convoy.
