Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Well I’ve finished, somewhat to my surprise, as I was closer to the end than I thought , which made things rather anti-climactic. Nonetheless, good to get it done and I look forward to getting the Badger-approved medal. Do I need to do anything or will it just appear, like magic?

You need to do a couple of things. Click Complete mission on the website. That will trigger an email message with instructions in it on how to email the organiser to let him know you've finished, then he'll pop the medal in the post to you.
