00:00It's it we're in the middle of nowhere. We're driving to the end of the world
00:12Look at this place. It's a paradise. I've never seen anything like it. It doesn't look real does it?
00:21Never in my life been somewhere that's remote. Yeah, this is amazing. I
00:26I feel like I'm in Jurassic Park
00:31We are going into some spicy territory this city is massive
00:40We're almost at breaking point there are vultures circling us our relationship is just gonna get stronger
00:49Lucky to have experiences. It's cemented our bond even more. It feels like a proper step into the jungle
00:56We're the shores of Mexico meet the Caribbean Sea
01:15A sacred island of the Maya and a pilgrimage site for their goddess of the moon and fertility
01:22Ischel
01:26Isla Mujeres the island of women
01:30The most easterly point of Mexico just 15 kilometers from the tourist hub of Cancun
01:37It's waters all hues of blue brimming marine life
01:42Look at this the crystal-clear water. Yeah, I could get used to this
01:52Isn't it beautiful here? It is gorgeous. This looks a little bit like the Isle of Wight
01:58Once believed to be a refuge for pirates
02:01Today this sliver of limestone is where the race begins
02:06This is outrageously hot
02:09This is wonderful
02:11It's all nice being in the Sun but figuring out where you're going to is the main thing
02:15Don't worry about where we're going right now. I reckon just take your top off and enjoy it
02:20Voyaging towards the start line
02:22Broadcaster Roman Kemp and older sister Harley Moon
02:26Me and Roman grew up in the same house, but we've got some slightly different traits
02:31Harley was always the one going out getting in trouble. I was more
02:35Boring there is something quite scary about not knowing where you're going
02:39The thing is about backpacking kind of do you have to go with the flow a little bit
02:45Okay, trying to relax
02:47That's the spirit
02:49Roman's gonna be practical
02:51Yeah, and the planning and the budgeting. I don't know what i'll bring to the party. You're in charge of fun
02:58Cups and ice
03:01We've got that like really conventional family thing going on where you call each other when you need stuff. Yeah
03:08I don't know what it's like to to hang out with her
03:12You've never invited me to the pub or anything
03:14Because I don't go we're coming in now. I'm quite excited. It's going to be so hard. It's going to be fun. It's going to be really hard
03:23Let's go
03:28This place is so beautiful. It's beautiful, isn't it? Yeah, it's the most turquoise blue sea I've ever seen. It's an amazing color
03:35Not like Whitby
03:37Next to join the race broadcaster anita rani and her dad bow
03:42Look at that bird. Oh my god. Did you see that look? What are they? They're pelicons
03:47I want my dad to have an amazing adventure. There they go. They're gonna die
03:53Yes
03:55And obviously for me as well, it's about us having an adventure together
03:57But i'm so aware of how hard my dad has worked his entire life
04:01And never ever ever ever ever had an opportunity to just do what he wants to do
04:05I'll grab it with both hands and both legs and run as fast as I can
04:10How are you feeling about carrying this weight on your back?
04:12I'll tell you i feel it pretty good excited raring to go i may be old but i'm not that old
04:18I'm still young enough to do it but next year maybe my knees might give up
04:25Wow look at that wow we've come to the very end of the island we're going to be the best team
04:29And we already are dad it's going to be good spending like five intensive weeks with my dad
04:34Yep and then you need five months holiday from now
04:39You'll be learning dad jokes all the way
04:41Five weeks with dad jokes
04:47Have you remembered to put sun cream on?
04:49No

05:03If we won the race i think a lot of people would be surprised including us
05:08Oh my gosh
05:11I don't think anyone thinks we're gonna win
05:15So there's no pressure so yeah exactly the pressure's off
05:19Usually when the pressure's off in sport
05:21One can do well so nothing to lose
05:25Look at that C
05:26Just want to take a dip but i'll probably knock into a rock
05:30I'm quite shy and awkward i like to stay in
05:35Do some gaming i hope this experience will change me with my confidence
05:41Maybe even my mum with her confidence
05:42I can't believe i'm here i'm really really nervous yeah the same as these
05:47Wow look at that wow guys come to say hi

14:23it's not there uh dylan and jackie are still getting their bearings this is a good start isn't it
14:31we can't find the map we did say we're a team tortoise yeah yeah team tortoise slow starts
14:37i think the beginning of the race we're going to be feeling very nervous overwhelmed yeah
14:43okay here we go here we go you should we try and ask someone if they yeah i think so i think so
14:51let's find someone yeah we both don't like talking to strangers
14:56um should we ask i don't um you ask disco pay habla english disco pay disco disco pay
15:12i think everyone's way ahead of us now but it doesn't matter yeah it's chill we'll make up for
15:18it let's do that thing we do our thing keen to settle on a route before they leave planning time
15:25welcome to the meeting molly and tyler also still on the island you know what it's been a bit of a
15:31wild jump in the deep end never for once in our lives have we ever been in the situation where we've
15:35never known where we're going to sleep what we're going to eat or how we're going to get there yeah
15:40so we need to get to the a of guatavala on this mountain right to reach flores teams could hug the
15:48caribbean coastline the most direct route but includes an extra country belize a former british
15:56colony where the national pride for conservation is seen in its lush jungle and ancient maya ruins
16:03or they could enter guatemala by heading west to make the most of mexico here they can save
16:10a life in the yucatan peninsula from rural ranches to well-preserved cities for more than 300 years of
16:18spanish conquest i feel like we need to experience what actual authentic mexico is this is like our
16:24chance to do what all our friends did in their gap years exactly and we never got to do it that's what
16:30we're going to dive into oh here we go classified ads to make it to the finish line teams must work
16:36to top up their budgets and have been provided with a travel guide and directory of local jobs
16:42i think we should get a job in campeche yeah harvesting habaneros you want to pick peppers
16:48over a beach club i never thought i'd hear today well that would be fun let's do it we're going to come
16:52back and they'll be like oh where'd you go in mexico we're saying canpeche and they're going where
16:55not so look yeah yeah yeah doing something completely different to what we usually do
17:01is mad nerve-wracking strap so tight onwards it sounds great on paper looks great on the map
17:08in reality i feel lost i feel absolutely lost what do you want to do for our anniversary tonight
17:16get to cancun so that'll be my anniversary gift to you i'm going to get you to cancun
17:30arriving into one of mexico's most expensive tourist hot spots we're on the mainland that's the most
17:36important thing two teams aiming to escape tonight to avoid early budget depletion
17:42that's the best way i mean we could do belize is like exotic and there's so many mayan ruins
18:03there that'd be amazing when i was growing up dad was always working running the factory we've never
18:08been on holiday together properly day trips yeah tended to be blackpool blackpool whitby me and my
18:15brother in the boot along with a massive picnic we can explore belize a bit yeah and get a good
18:23experience as well on the way i'm very curious and wherever i'll go that's what i'm looking forward to
18:28really seeing something new and never seen before in my life but we will have to cross a border yeah so
18:33there might be a bit of faff but it's the most direct route dad are you up for this let's go for
18:38it let's vamos me and dad want a proper adventure like you know indiana jones style or romancing the
18:45stone hola to the central bus station ten pesos we're taking a risk we're going the most direct route
18:54according to the map doesn't mean it's the easiest route oh my god what did they just take out
19:06bradford is it a city called bradford in england yeah yeah england yeah
19:12this is the real mexican tour real life real life we're here for the real mexican tour i'm confused
19:19tomatoes and potatoes not a single tourist sitting on here what an experience
19:29so we either stay in mexico or go through belize still debating their first move roman and harley moon
19:37i think belize rapido my only worry is the border crossings that's the only thing we'd be doing
19:43two borders because they can take a long time or do we just try and find our way through mexico then go
19:48straight into guatemala from there first day is like should we go this way should we go that way how
19:54long is it going to take for us to go that way should we rock paper scissors oh it's hard man it's so hard
20:01i just don't want to stay in cancun we can't afford it no it ain't cheap i think i think we need to get
20:07out of this bit and then figure it out yeah let's go to valadoid tonight and then the day after we just
20:15sprint it down okay let's go let's go hedging their bets the siblings settle on a short 200 kilometer
20:27hop to valladolid to keep their options of onward travel open let's auto bussy our way out of here
20:35row 7 30. what what 7 30 valadolid valadolid 7 30. it's expensive dos ticket boleto
20:47as night falls on day one of the race here we go our first adventure roman and harley moon are
20:55first to leave cancun why have we got you talking already we're just going to track these mosquitoes
21:01i don't want me no mosquitoes i come near here i look like iron man as two more teams look to make
21:07a getaway there's a bus to chetumal i mean we could just do an overnight bus we might as well cover the
21:13distance right what sleep on the bus my gosh we're fixed we are fixed anita and bales sees the chance
21:22to leap south straight to the city closest to the border of belize i'm not going to sleep i'm buzzing
21:30i'll tell you a little story i was out yeah once upon a time
21:34i feel like our best option is to find somewhere to sleep and eat here and then in the morning
21:44jump on a bus to campeche isn't it a coach that goes there now no you want to do an overnight bus
21:51on day one not that i want to do an overnight bus but if we get to campeche at early hours in the
21:56morning have an amazing day and see a side of mexico that we never once imagined
22:01tyler's plan save an accommodation by traveling 490 kilometers through mexico overnight
22:10do we want to be near the toilet no think about it think about it okay no
22:18look i hope this pays off because this could get us ahead you know it's the final minutes of our
22:24anniversary don't say i don't spoil you honestly i feel like the luckiest girl in the world

25:59like i haven't heard one phone go off in the time that we've been here yeah there's something really
26:04really nice about that like a space to just clear your head isn't it when i first jumped into this
26:10industry i was told to get social media like you know you need to you need to jump on this i feel
26:15like now it's just become part of the job and part of life and so we've navigated a lot of our
26:21relationship with all eyes on us there's not many times where you know we've been without social
26:26media and sharing all that stuff i feel like this is the first time i've done a job that's been
26:31considered normal what picking peppers yeah i started working when i was 11. i was gigging every
26:38weekend i was sitting my year six sats and i was on the final of britain's got talent the night before
26:44yeah i was like when i was 11. i was the shyest kid ever were you i was the shyest kid ever i used
26:52to get my homework done at school so i could run home and watch indiana jones movies really i was
26:57shy yeah of course i was shy as hell such a contrast to today i guess yeah what would be so nice about
27:03the race is just have like a moment where you know you get rid of like the outside noise switch off
27:09literally disconnect yeah from our phones and just see where it takes us you missed one there babe no

27:56found on the floor finally leaving cancun oh this is civilized i like going on
28:08train journeys don't you dylan and his mom aboard mexico's brand new railways this is a nice fast
28:14train we're definitely gaining momentum but obviously it is more money but we're giving
28:19ourselves a fighting chance now aren't we exactly but as tourists pay twice the price of locals it
28:25comes at a cost of four percent of their total budget south of merida there's lots of connections
28:31here yeah for a potential route to get to guatemala and we can explore mexico more going this
28:37route their high-speed train will whisk them 300 kilometers to the colonial town of merida the
28:44cultural capital of the yucatan let's do some culture treat ourselves eating yeah hopefully some
28:51lovely food for you we need an upgrade from a hot dog yeah yeah definitely yeah i'm really excited
28:58there's good music there so that's what i'm hoping for actually if i was your age i would have been
29:05partying in thank you to places like that spring break jackie i'm not as sensible as you dylan
29:16and i'll try not to embarrass you no you won't you do your thing you cut some cut some shapes on the
29:21dance floor let's go wild as one team head deeper into mexico dad could this be our bus belize
29:34see yeah okay get yourself come on the bus is here another is looking to leave this is brilliant
29:41they put the packs on i jumped on the packs this is brilliant you're getting your first sort of
29:46backpacking at this room do you remember me going yeah i just said i'm off how did you let me go i
29:52do wonder about that but i suppose you have no choice with me really do you well you're a bit stubborn
30:01having bust their way to the belizean border anita and bal are the first team out of mexico
30:07forging ahead to their mayan ruins adventure tomorrow do you think do you think the mosquitoes
30:13will be different yeah i think these are a lot more laid back once a british colony belize is the
30:20only english-speaking country in central america its caribbean coast borders rainforests teeming with
30:27exotic wildlife including the jaguar the largest wild cat in the americas
30:33jungle night i don't think we're far
30:52lagging behind in mexico still just 210 kilometers from the start line i think horses are amazing animals
30:59it just makes me extremely tense how close they're just standing to their back legs
31:04roman and harley moon are mucking in charost del rosarito ranch a training ground for the escaramosas
31:11female rodeo riders who perform elaborate equestrian dances
31:17whoa wide burn the siblings are working off a free night's board oh jesus before figuring out their next
31:26move do you know what we should try and do i think almost like rake it sideways so japanese style
31:32are you trying to feng shui the horse paddling yeah
31:37roman horses are meant to be really good for anxiety
31:40would you be able to help her yeah we are trying to get south so we're trying to understand the best way
31:55we need to go to here we need to go to here to laco petan itza in guatemala
32:05so you you think go into belize and then guatemala yeah this is the short and easier route cool thank
32:13you armed with local intel sites are set on heading south through belize following in the footsteps of
32:21anita and bar i think we've actually landed on our feet because now we know for sure belize is
32:28quickest route day three i reckon we're going to hit belize close as we can tonight we'll be at the
32:34checkpoint oh god yes we go is that what you want to hear
32:46hola we have to go to chetsu mal
32:53nothing today
32:54my worry is it's just i mean we've only moved from cancun to baladolid in two days i mean if there's
33:11not a bus we're not moving so if there is a bus to tennessee tonight would you do it yeah but we've been
33:18told to travel through belize is the fastest way sticking with their tip off to cut through belize to
33:28the checkpoint means standing still in valladolid for a second night the alternative make their way
33:35through mexico via merida to the border town of tenosique i'm open to it i'm not saying no
33:43but to me it feels like the wrong direction shall we check if there is a bus to tenosique
33:53i think personally we should stay here and enjoy it and make the most out of it
33:59but i know that you want to keep moving so i'm happy for whatever makes you feel happy
34:06should i go and find the price i can just look okay i just really enjoy being in the moment for me
34:14the fun of it will be making the decision wondering if it's the right decision to make
34:20hola mom and roman real warriors they'll think oh should we do that is that the right way and me and
34:28my dad have not even noticed that there's anything to worry about i feel like a lot of me is very
34:40anxious and that can get in the way of just enjoying the moment i want to learn how to drop that barrier
34:47sometimes that i have with life which is you know a worry there is a bus but we would arrive in 2 35.
34:55in the morning all right help me all right i think we stay here
35:12and just get the 10 o'clock bus tomorrow all right this is so hard man there's like a logical side of me

55:26I mean, if anyone's beaten us, Jesus, how quickly have they done us?
55:29What did I say?
55:30What did I say?
55:31What did I say?
55:32What did I say?
55:33Brilliant.
55:34Absolutely brilliant.
55:35Can't quite believe it.
55:36Yes.
55:37But can believe it.
55:38Oh, my God.
55:39Let's get it written down.
55:40Right.
55:41Going via Belize was definitely worth it.
55:43What we did right was we are very decisive.
55:44We're quick to make a decision and stick to it.
55:45Wow.
55:46Well done.
55:47Can't get complacent.
55:48But, my God, on the first leg to be first.
55:49Feels so good.
55:50Really, really good.
55:51Anita's a machine.
55:52I do think we've done some things quite well because we've come second.
55:53I think I went over the map for three hours, you know, trying to work out what was best.
55:59So much harder than I thought it was going to be.
56:01It's the most Arsenal fan thing in the world.
56:02It's the most Arsenal fan thing in the world.
56:03It's the most Arsenal fan thing in the world.
56:04It's the most Arsenal fan thing in the world.
56:05It's definitely worth it.
56:06It's definitely worth it.
56:07What we did right was we are very decisive.
56:08We're quick to make a decision and stick to it.
56:09Wow.
56:10Well done.
56:11Can't get complacent.
56:12But, my God, on the first leg to be first.
56:13Feels so good.
56:14Really, really good.
56:15Anita's a machine.
56:16I do think we've done some things quite well because we've come second.
56:17We're going to work out what was best.
56:18So much harder than I thought it was going to be.
56:20It's the most Arsenal fan thing in the world to be celebrating second place.
56:24It's unreal.
56:25The sweet taste of second.
56:27Ah!
56:28Yes!
56:29Yes!
56:30Yes!
56:31Yes!
56:32Hola!
56:33Oh, my gosh.
56:34Sorry.
56:35What?
56:36We're not even two hours.
56:37That's an hour and a half later.
56:39Oh, no.
56:40It was the laying.
56:42We would have been second.
56:44Hi.
56:45We didn't take the fastest route in our opinion.
56:47No, we didn't.
56:48That was not the fastest route.
56:50Proud of you.
56:51I love you.
56:52I love you too.
56:53Aw.
56:54Do you know what I'm proud of in that leg?
56:55Is that we actually experienced Mexico.
56:57Yeah, we did.
56:58No, I feel like we've absolutely, like, thrown ourselves in at the deep end.
57:02Way out of our comfort zone.
57:03And I feel like we're enjoying it.
57:05Mm-hmm.
57:10Ahoy, ahoy.
57:11Yeah, it must be over there where those lights are.
57:14Nice one, driver.
57:19Are you ready?
57:20Ready.
57:21We lost.
57:22I knew it.
57:23I knew it.
57:24We caught up quite well, didn't we?
57:26Seeing the times, we're not that far away from them all.
57:29No, no, no.
57:30After looking at that book...
57:31Yeah.
57:32We both feel really competitive.
57:33Yeah, a bit more motivated with it.
57:35Yeah.
57:36For sure.
57:37Well done.
57:38Well done.
57:39We did it.
57:40After travelling more than 1,100 kilometres, one team leads by over 23 hours.
57:47While just six hours separates the rest.
57:50I think we can only get better.
57:52I mean, yeah, we lost, so yeah, yeah.
57:59We're off.
58:00Hey, about us!
58:02Oh!
58:03My worry is that I don't want to stop her from having fun.
58:06We haven't had much adventure today.
58:08Grab it, grab it!
58:09We've got it.
58:10My stamina levels are going to be a challenge.
58:12Shush, Dad.
58:13But we're going to give it our best shot.
58:15It's reminds me of you driving me to school.
58:17Yeah.
58:18They'll probably think there's not a friend.
58:20He loves you.
58:21But we'll surprise people.
58:23I'm absolutely loving it.
58:25I fantasize over the idea of being Indiana Jones.
58:28What was that?
58:29This race is so tough.
58:31The national strike has been announced.
58:33Then get up!
58:34Then get up!
58:35Is the race over for us?
58:36We've got to run.
58:37We've got it.
58:38Just put it in the back of the net.
58:39Let's go!
58:40Run!
58:41Never seen Dylan so energized.
58:42If we don't win, rematch.
59:07We've got it.
59:08We've got to win.
59:10They're going to run.
59:11We have to win Sam.
59:13Now?
59:14Now let's go!
