Task brief

The task brief is taped to the front of a giant inflatable duck. The brief for the task is as follows:

Get the duck into the lake.

You must not touch the beak.

If the duck leaves the course, it must re-enter at the point it left the course.

If your duck touches the boundary, or a flamingo, or a pineapple, one minute will be added to your time.

Fastest wins.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • The task takes place at Wormsley Estate, which is the setting of the location tasks throughout this series.
  • The task appears to be a super-sized call-back to the ‘Get the duck into the pond’ task from the second Champion of Champions special.
  • The duck is positioned on a grass slope at the bottom of the steps to the estate’s pavilion.
  • To one side of the duck, there is a length of red rope.
  • On the other side of the duck, there appears to be some black plastic guttering.
  • In front of the duck, a racecourse has been marked off with rope, leading to the nearby lake.
  • There are obstacles on the course including several lawn flamingos and a large golden pineapple.
