Christmas Challenge

Santa needs to deliver these presents by drone, but must ensure he does not break the rules of the drone code. This means he cannot fly over busy areas, buildings and airports and train lines. Can you navigate a path to drop off all the gifts to each child without breaking the drone code? Make sure you fly the drone up to Santa’s elf without running out of battery, check you have not exceeded the range of the drone! Follow the grid lines on the map, each square is 1km and you should try not to go over your own path!
