Teams must fly to London, England, United Kingdom via Mexico City. Upon arrival, teams must take a train to Cambridge, then make their way to Scudamore's Punting Cambridge, where they would find their next clue.
The Fast Forward instructions were given to teams at the Pit Start. Teams must make their way to the Duxford Imperial War Museum, where they must maneuver a tank through a battlefield obstacle course in 90 seconds or less to claim the Fast Forward pass. Dennis & Andrew won the Fast Forward and were driven by limousine directly to the Pit Stop.
Choice A: Punt
Teams must row a local boat called a punt using only a long pole and a small paddle 1-mile (1.6 km) down the River Cam to Magdalene Bridge. There, they would find their next clue hanging below the bridge.
Andre & Damon, Derek & Drew, Heather & Eve, John Vito & Jill, Ken & Gerard, Michael & Kathy, and Teri & Ian chose this task.
Choice B: Bike
Teams must ride a tandem bicycle along a marked 6-mile (9.7 km) course to Magdalene Bridge. There, they would find their next clue hanging below the bridge.
Teams must make their way to Parker's Piece, where they must sign up for one of three charter buses to Aberdeen, Scotland. The first charter bus would depart at 7:30 pm. The second charter bus would depart at 10:00 pm. The third charter bus would depart at 1:30 am. Once there, teams must take a taxi to a marked field outside Dunnottar Castle in Stonehaven, where they would find their next clue.
"That person should be feeling a bit gamey."
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must compete in three Highland games. First was the Caber toss, in which they had to throw a caber, make it topple, and have it land within the designated lines. Second was the hammer throw, in which they had to throw a hammer so that it landed inside a box marked on the ground. Last was the Stone put, requiring them to overhand toss a heavy rock forward to the finish line. Once all three are completed, they may retrieve their next clue.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams must make their way on foot to the chapel at Dunnottar Castle to check in.
