THEY DID IT!!!!!!!
And within the hundred hour deadline (by the skin of their teeth might i just add)
The team are absolutely and utterly ecstatic and Charlie and Sophie are feeding some very hungry boys now! It was a nail baiting finish and the team started the bay crossing with 3 other teams, including a race veteran and they put in a super human effort to paddle across the bay to victory, with Charlie, Sophie and lots of other supporters screaming their hearts out from the shore.
More details and a full update later but CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! And on behalf of the Camels thank you so so much everyone for your support, messages and thoughts, it made a HUGE difference.
Time for lots and lots of bubbles!!!! (and perhaps some sleep, a shower and a huge amount of food!

Unreal - that was real edge of the seat stuff back here in London. We are mighty proud of you lot, we had some good banter on the emails today speculating on what the outcome might be. For the record we all felt you would cross the line, just a question as to whether it would be half an hour too late!
