During pre-dinner drinks at the Highland Hotel in Aviemore, Dan finally managed to pass on the Wee Cup after holding it for the last 6 months - to Archie, the other half of the famous "Darchie" team who couldn't find the restaurant on the Costa del Sol in October:

Finally, Malcolm received the trophy from Les:
