00:17It's mad to think that the mosque is under the water.
00:19I had the exact same thought.
00:21I spent too much time with you.
00:24I love it.
00:27After a 4,500km race through Europe to the south-east of Turquia, now just four teams
00:35remain.
00:37Last leg, back in mind, we were like elimination, elimination, so it's nice to go forward and
00:41not have to worry.
00:42When I just saw it wasn't us last, it was just, to be honest, it was just pure, really.
00:46That's the thing, even Pooze and Ross, it's just heartbreaking seeing them go.
00:50Yeah, it really does show anything can happen.
00:54Siblings Katie and Harrison are in front for the third time, but their lead has diminished
00:59to under ten hours.
01:01After opening that book and seeing Harrison face first, their time was a surprise, now
01:05they're only half a day ahead.
01:06Maybe they'll take their foot off the gas a little bit.
01:08We've got through the elimination, and now that's out of the way, our new goal is getting
01:12to Mongolia and getting that first place.
01:14I do think we are slowly creeping up on him.
01:17Yeah, yeah.
01:17Now we've got first in our head.
01:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:19It's not don't be last, it's be first.
01:21Well, we started fourth, and then we came third, now we're second, so there's only one
01:25place to go.
01:26We've got to go to number one spot.
01:28Yeah.
01:28Myself and Mark, we are so lined up, ready.
01:31Sorry guys.
01:32We've got all our ducks in a row.
01:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:34We all want to be first, don't we?
01:36Someone will have to displace Katie and Harrison.
01:38What do you mean someone?
01:39Someone.
01:39Us two.
01:40Us two.
01:44As three teams wait to depart.
01:47Right, shall we get going?
01:49First to set off, race leaders Katie and Harrison.
01:53Just for you.
01:54Perfect, thank you so much.
01:57Shall we see how we're going?
02:00Tbilis, yes, I don't know how to say it, but it's where I want it to go.
02:03Is it Georgia?
02:03I was so excited to go there.
02:05Yeah.
02:06I'm so happy.
02:07Thank you very much.
02:07Cheers, thank you.
02:08Cheers, thank you.
02:09Oh, that's so good.
02:11New country, about to be unlocked.
02:18God, there is nothing here.
02:20Yeah.
02:21It's dead.
02:22Yeah.
02:23But at nearly midnight, the progress stalls immediately.
02:28We're not getting out tonight unless you're going to spend ridiculous money on a taxi.
02:32Nope.
02:34We're off to a bad start.
02:36Oh.
02:37Do you have a room for two people for tonight?
02:40Yeah.
02:44Race starts tomorrow.
03:00New day, new chapter of the race.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Let's hit it.
03:05Not getting out of our party last night means we no longer have a ten hour leave.
03:09But I think as long as you keep them in relative touching distance, I'll be happy enough.
03:13I'm actually well buzzed with going to Georgia.
03:15Why did you want to go?
03:16It's just a bit rogue, isn't it?
03:18A 1,700-kilometre journey to Georgia's capital, the fourth checkpoint, Tbilisi.
03:28Meaning warm place.
03:29Legend has it that King Vaktang Gorgasale founded the city after his falcon fell into a hot spring, revealing the
03:40area's natural thermal waters.
03:43Today, those sulphur baths still steam, set against a backdrop of modern, futuristic architecture.
03:53Er, Jean Lerfa?
03:55OK.
03:55What have you got?
03:55Yeah?
03:56Let's have it.
03:59Finally on the road, Katie and Harrison are heading to the closest transport hub, Shan Lerfa.
04:05Should we have a look at the map and see where we're going and what we've got to do?
04:08We could go all the way to the edge of Turkey and then up.
04:13But nothing's there.
04:14Yeah.
04:14Or we could go straight up from where we are to the coast.
04:19To reach Tbilisi, teams may choose to hug the Black Sea coast, a popular route for domestic tourists.
04:28But the winding coastal roads could slow progress.
04:31Or they could opt to stay inland, striking a direct route through Turkey's arid heartland.
04:39Rich in Kurdish culture, but with fewer connections.
04:44Both routes converge at the Georgian border as they navigate new terrain towards the capital.
04:52I feel like along the Black Sea you can see a lot more transport routes.
04:57Samsung looks like a pretty big city.
04:58Yeah.
04:59It would be great to do some homestays.
05:02It would be good to actually integrate the local people a bit more.
05:06We haven't spent too much time with the locals so far.
05:10I am looking forward to it.
05:12I'm obviously nervous, you know, it's not a natural thing.
05:15But I do think we'll get most out of it.
05:17I'm really excited.
05:19Homestays scare me.
05:20It's just going to be awkward.
05:22But it's something we need to do in terms of, like, putting me out of my comfort zone.
05:26Yeah.
05:26And maybe, like, I'll enjoy it.
05:29Planning to sample their first homestay of the race, the siblings aim to head north towards the well-connected coast.
05:37Samsung.
05:38Two.
05:39Brilliant.
05:41We booked an overnight bus tonight, travelling the whole length of Turkey in one night.
05:47And then we can get straight to our homestay tomorrow.
05:50But there's nothing we can do until then.
05:53So, yeah.
05:54We just have to wait here most of the day.
06:02It's bringing you step today, Mark.
06:04Next, to leave Halfeti.
06:06The elimination's out of the way.
06:08The shackles are off.
06:10Hypnotherapist Margo and her brother-in-law, Mark.
06:13We need to get all the way across northeast of Turkey.
06:18The direct route north up towards the Black Sea coast is probably going to be better connected and faster.
06:22I do fancy that route.
06:23Yeah.
06:25I think going east is my preferred option.
06:29And I'd like to see a little bit of more rural Turkey heading towards Van.
06:35You know, we used to have two Van cats, Arnie and Keeps.
06:38Beautiful and cuddly, with odd eyes, very unique cats.
06:42Seeing that Van is here, I'd like to go see where they came from.
06:49No, I like the sound of that.
06:51Yeah.
06:51I do like the sound of that.
06:53He's kind of bewitched me with talk of Van.
06:56I think he's hypnotised me a bit to want to go there.
06:59Because I just went, yes, I'd like to go there.
07:02An adventure.
07:03It's an adventure.
07:04It is an adventure.
07:05Into the unknown.
07:06We've got it in us to catch up with Katie and Harrison.
07:09Whether it's a good move or not in the race, we are heading to Van.
07:13Let's do it.
07:14Let's go.
07:15Mark's feline-friendly plan, make a 660km punt east to Lake Van.
07:21Do you think we can catch Katie and Harrison and do this route at the same time?
07:25I've got a good feeling about it, a really good feeling about it.
07:29Straight to the bus station.
07:31Yeah.
07:31Just 38 minutes behind.
07:33We did really good last leg.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Best friends Joe and Kush.
07:38It's like kind of moving away from not carrying out the budget to start to bump it up again.
07:43So honestly, any work we can get our hands on, we can do.
07:47Yeah.
07:47After spending big to stay in the race, the boys are beginning the leg with nearly 10% less than
07:53their competitors.
07:55Last leg we did everything to not be eliminated and not included.
07:58A pretty hefty taxi.
07:59Now we've got budget concerns, so we need to make money.
08:02We need to find the city busy, please.
08:05Yeah.
08:05We just need to get on the bus first.
08:09People that are behind us are going to catch up with us, so I expect the boys to appear any
08:13minute.
08:14All concertinos together.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Here are the boys.
08:17How are you?
08:18How are you?
08:19Good, how are you?
08:20You look well rested.
08:21Do you know where you're going now?
08:22Yeah.
08:23Have you got a plan?
08:24Yeah.
08:25We have a plan, yeah.
08:25Are we allowed to know where you're heading to?
08:28I don't know.
08:29I don't know.
08:31We're heading to Vam to see the test.
08:32We're going to Vam.
08:34They're trying to problem.
08:35They're trying to get information out.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Margot's job is to read people.
08:39They're going to copy our strategy, our planning, so we're going to have to keep more hush.
08:44I think the boys are on fire though.
08:47They've got something to prove to themselves.
08:49To get first place.
08:50I think they'd love to get first place.
08:52Yeah.
08:52The boys are being very shady about where they're going.
08:56Very like...
08:57And I think they're going to race as if their life depends upon it.
09:02See you boys.
09:03We'll see you guys soon.
09:04Take care.
09:04We might have to up our game.
09:06See you boys.
09:07Good luck.
09:10Will you sit down here?
09:11We can look at the map, all right?
09:12Aye, will do.
09:12OK.
09:14Woohoo!
09:15Last to depart.
09:16I think the obvious route at the moment is go up and across northern Turkey.
09:21Andrew and his daughter Molly.
09:23And we could go and see the gods on Mount Nemro trip.
09:26But I'd like to kind of meet more people, learn about their culture.
09:29That's what I wanted to do on this trip.
09:32But we had a beautiful time at Mount Olympus.
09:34And maybe the gods have looked on us.
09:36And maybe we need to go and kind of thank the gods for allowing us to get through to the
09:39next stage.
09:41But I don't want to take over here now.
09:43Yeah, I know.
09:43All right?
09:44What do you think?
09:47It would be amazing.
09:48I'm telling you.
09:48I love it.
09:49OK.
09:50I'm excited.
09:51I know you're excited.
09:52I know.
09:54A bit annoyed in the route we've taken.
09:57The whole point of this trip is taking on culture, seeing people.
10:01But he's so excited.
10:02So I've had to say yes.
10:05Feeling the pull of a summit once again, Andrew plots a course for Mount Nemrut, just three hours drive away,
10:12before heading inland through eastern Turkey.
10:16Molly, I'm thinking eastern Turkey.
10:18Yeah.
10:18But it's all very direct, going to Georgia.
10:20So this might actually pay off and get us back in the race.
10:24I'm confident it's going to be a good route to see what we want to see, but also quick enough
10:28routes because we need to move up the table a bit.
10:29So it's rather than being fort, if we can get an experience and a bit of speed as well, what
10:34more can we ask?
10:39So look.
10:40Mardin name?
10:41Yes.
10:42Where are you from?
10:43England.
10:44England.
10:45England.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Your name?
10:48France.
10:49France.
10:49Also heading east...
10:53Joe and Kush have answered an ad in the jobs directory and are on their way to the city of
10:58Mardin.
10:59We've got our work sorted.
11:01But I think we should start speaking to people about accommodation.
11:05Yo, merhaba.
11:07How are you?
11:08Do you know any very cheap hotel or hostel in Mardin?
11:16Yes.
11:18You can stay with him.
11:24In Mardin?
11:26Yeah.
11:28Bro.
11:30Don't you think we can stay at his house?
11:32What?
11:33It's the skull's charm.
11:34It's the skull's charm.
11:35It's the skull's charm.
11:36Nowhere to stay.
11:37People have gone out of their way to give.
11:38We're not tourists here.
11:40We feel like guests.
11:41We've got free accommodation, so we're making money.
11:43We are going to get fair space.
11:49The only team heading to the coast...
11:52Is this the longest motor transport we've done so far?
11:54Yes.
11:55Katie and Harrison are still waiting for their 14-hour overnight bus.
12:00Before I go on the bus.
12:01I really need to moisturise my elbows.
12:05Wash my face now before I go on there.
12:07Maybe brush my teeth before I go on there.
12:09And then I'm going to put some leggings on
12:12so that I can properly relax and get comfortable if it gets cold as well.
12:16I'm going to plait my hair so it doesn't get knotty.
12:20Yeah.
12:20This is my bag?
12:21Yeah.
12:25Blanket.
12:25Well, you're disgusting, aren't you?
12:27Sorted.
12:27Take better care of yourself, you scruff.
12:30Sorted.
12:30No wonder you don't get any women.
12:32You're minger.
12:35Well, this bus looks class.
12:37Looks nice, doesn't it?
12:38Yeah, class.
12:40Beto.
12:41I agree. Beto, indeed.
12:43Got my eye mask.
12:45Got my pink hair pubs.
12:47Good night.
12:52That's a view.
12:54God damn!
12:56Just 20 kilometres from the Syrian border,
13:01Marden's stone houses cling to the hillside,
13:04overlooking the vast Mesopotamian plain.
13:07Aw, thank you.
13:08The boys have arranged to stay with new friend Furat and his family.
13:13Your name?
13:14Baba.
13:15Baba?
13:15Yeah.
13:16John.
13:17I'm dead.
13:18Dad?
13:18Dead.
13:19Oh, father.
13:21I can't lie, I didn't expect any of this.
13:23Start a conversation on this bus.
13:25Next minute, we're in his house.
13:28Woo!
13:29Oh!
13:30It's a big thing inviting strangers to your house.
13:33Yes.
13:33What's this?
13:35Yogurt.
13:35It's yogurt.
13:36Peaner.
13:37Juice?
13:37Yes.
13:39Egg.
13:41Wow.
13:44Nice.
13:45Don't be shy, eat until you're full.
13:48He knows, he knows.
13:52He's been very kind to us.
13:54We've just had dinner with him.
13:55He's let us have a shower.
13:56He's laid these beds up for us.
13:59It does mean a lot.
14:01Free food, accommodation.
14:03We're trying to take every opportunity we can get to save money.
14:14Quarter to six in the morning.
14:16Nice time to be out.
14:18You're alone in your thoughts.
14:19It's stunning, isn't it?
14:21It's like the stairway to heaven.
14:23Well, look at the colour there.
14:24It is fab.
14:25Isn't it?
14:28High in the Taurus Mountains, Andrew and Molly have reached Mount Nemrut.
14:35Look at that.
14:36That is amazing.
14:37Wow.
14:38Beautiful, isn't it?
14:38That's exceptional.
14:39Impressive.
14:43Here, ten metres stone gods stand vigil.
14:47Built more than 2,000 years ago by King Antiochus I.
14:52Believing himself divine, he demanded a tomb among the gods.
14:56A monument that still gazes out across Comagene, the ancient kingdom he once ruled.
15:03They're cool.
15:05Daddy, look at them.
15:07Where's he going?
15:08That just sums us up.
15:10I'm looking at the human geography and he's looking at the physical geography.
15:13Molly.
15:14You come here, look.
15:15You come here.
15:16You can really see the crater rim as it makes us the whole way around.
15:21But that's what created all those lakes blocked out.
15:25Mm-hmm.
15:26Because it doesn't seem to be any rivers or anything.
15:28But you can see obviously the lakes have all been blocked.
15:30Daddy.
15:32Do you know what?
15:32I do love a hike and I do love a pretty sky.
15:36And I'll make the most of it when I'm here, but I also just love a bit of crack.
15:40I do think at the moment we're missing talking to people, chatting with people, dancing with people.
15:47I just, I love meeting people.
15:48Uh-huh.
15:49During this trip I'd love to kind of see like, I don't know, a bit of life, yeah, a bit
15:54of party.
15:55Yeah, I know.
15:56But I love, you know, I love getting up in the morning.
15:58A bit of solitude, a bit of quiet time, just to see the sun rising.
16:01This is right up my street.
16:05Look at the clouds.
16:06That is crazy.
16:06The clouds are just stunning.
16:10For me, the race is about proving to Daddy that I am capable.
16:15Yeah, I'm a junior doctor, but Daddy's very much top dog and he'd be the main influencer on the trip.
16:20And like, there's no pretending that kind of daddy-daughter dynamic, like that doesn't matter.
16:26But I think we do need to break this default of like, everything Daddy says is 100% perfect and
16:33correct.
16:33And what I say is maybe not fully trustable.
16:37There's the sun now.
16:38Yeah.
16:39Here she comes.
16:40It's beautiful.
16:41I would love for Daddy to get what he wants out of this race.
16:44But I would also very much like him to know that my opinion is also very much there to be
16:50respected.
16:52Wow.
16:55That was amazing.
16:57Did you get your fix?
16:59I did.
17:00There's a visitor centre down at the bottom, so might be able to have a look through that.
17:04I think we need to move on.
17:11I think we need to move on.
17:34I think we need to move on to Syria.
17:35I wouldn't have guessed that.
17:39900 kilometres north-west.
17:42The drive has been pretty stunning, hasn't it?
17:44Very stunning.
17:45On the left, there's the Black Sea.
17:47On the right, there's been, like, these huge green mountains.
17:52Joining the coastal highway, Katie and Harrison are approaching Samson.
17:58I'm so excited.
17:59It's a vanilla cake as well.
18:02Check, John.
18:03The other Turkish box.
18:06You and your revolving doors.
18:08I love revolving doors.
18:09I know you do.
18:10Mark and Margot have made it to Van and are now the team closest to the checkpoint.
18:17Ardahan?
18:18Ardahan.
18:19And from Ardahan, I think that would give us a crossing across the border.
18:22Yeah.
18:228.45 tomorrow?
18:241,400 each.
18:252,800.
18:26It's just nice to have this sorted, though, isn't it, Mark?
18:29Yeah.
18:30Cheers, thank you.
18:31Seeing as we've done it now, we're here.
18:33There's no bus till tomorrow.
18:35Perhaps we could see if there's anything lively happening.
18:45Look at that.
18:47My cat looks similar to that.
18:49They said it was orange and white.
18:52Native to the shores of Turquia's largest lake, Van cats are famed for their striking
18:58eyes, their water-resistant fur and an unusual love of swimming.
19:05This is Lake Van.
19:07That's it.
19:08Huge, isn't it?
19:09Not a Turkish Van cat inside.
19:12We haven't seen one, have we?
19:13No.
19:13Oh!
19:14Is that a cat over there?
19:15That ball of his arms?
19:17No, it's a baby, I think.
19:18Oh, it's a baby.
19:19I thought it was a cat!
19:20Ha-ha-ha!
19:25In Northern Turquia, near the Black Sea...
19:28What about Harrison?
19:30Is that?
19:31Katie.
19:32Katie!
19:34He looks like he could pick us up.
19:35I'll do whatever he even tells me to do.
19:38Katie and Harrison have reached their homestay on the outskirts of the city.
19:43tree house
19:44Oh my god
19:46Oh this is so cute
19:48I feel like I'm in a little film
19:50where they're going to stay in the cabin
19:52These get murdered in them but
19:54I'm hoping it's not those vibes
20:01This is exactly
20:03what I thought we'd be doing to be honest
20:04I'm quite happy to be doing it
20:06The siblings are working as labourers
20:09for cattle farmer Esat
20:11We've always helped around the house
20:13Especially when we lived with mum
20:15and she wasn't as
20:17well
20:18Maybe we did more than other kids
20:21Yeah
20:22I'm definitely not scared to get my hands dirty
20:25If dad wanted a
20:27lucky job helper
20:28it'd definitely be me over Harrison
20:33It would be
20:34Come on now, you've always been the princess

22:27Good
22:28Good
22:28Thank you
22:29Birmingham
22:30I can't picture of Tesco Express
22:36Tesco
22:37Tesco
22:38Yeah
22:38Tesco
22:39Are we singing?
22:43Ha
22:45Se
22:46ー
23:12b
23:14Very good. Good, very good.
23:22He's made that hilarious.
23:25I came into this just as apprehensive of you,
23:27but, like, putting a brave face on.
23:30And I absolutely loved every second of it.
23:32I'm beaming. That was...that was beautiful.
23:35My heart is full. My heart is warm.
23:37I didn't know that was my favourite moment on the race somehow.
23:41OK.
23:41OK.
23:48Oh, OK.
23:55Shall we try and find a bar round here?
23:56Yes.
23:56A bit of action.
23:59Some dancing, some music.
24:00Some dancing, yeah.
24:00At least some music to listen to.
24:02Booked on a bus to the border tomorrow...
24:05Some pérolytes.
24:06Oh!
24:07Look at that place up there.
24:08A chance for Mark and Margot to sample Van's nightlife.
24:12Oh, this looks like a good choice, Mark.
24:18Oh, my God, it's magical.
24:20And there's some music. This is fantastic.
24:25What is the music? What style of music will it be tonight?
24:29Folk music.
24:30Folk music?
24:31Yeah.
24:31Is it Kurdish folk music?
24:32Yeah, Kurdish.
24:33Cheers, Morgan.
24:34To a good day.
24:35To a very good day, yes.
24:40Kurdish folk music carries the story of a people, the resilience, identity and history across the Middle East.
24:48Oh, my God.
24:54Oh, my God.
24:55Oh, my God.
24:58Oh, my God.
25:01Oh, my God.
25:01Oh, my God.
25:02Oh, my God.
25:02Yay.
25:04Appreciate it.
25:05Love it.
25:06Yeah.
25:07Fantastic, isn't it?
25:08I love it, too.
25:09What's your name?
25:10Aisha.
25:10Aisha?
25:11Oh, I like this.
25:11Very appreciative.
25:12I'm Margot.
25:13Really?
25:14Nice to meet you.
25:15Nice to meet you.
25:15You are so sweet.
25:18Can I sit a second?
25:19Yes.
25:20How old are you?
25:22I am 59.
25:23Like a grandma.
25:25Wow.
25:25No.
25:27You are not a grandma.
25:29No.
25:29I'm 19 years old also.
25:3119?
25:31Yes.
25:32I like to come with the young people just because it's nice, isn't it?
25:34Yes.
25:35I have two children.
25:36My daughter is 17.
25:3717?
25:38And my son is 20.
25:3920.
25:40Wow.
25:40I have six siblings.
25:42Three girls, three boys.
25:44Wow.
25:45I have four brothers.
25:47Four brothers?
25:47And four sisters.
25:48One more each of you.
25:50One more each.
25:52So it's nine.
25:52You're a really Kurdish family.
25:54You have a Kurdish family.
25:55I have a Kurdish family, yes.
26:00And so are you.
26:01You're a beautiful young woman.
26:03Thank you so much.
26:05Tonight we found somewhere really special and it was quite unexpected and I met this gorgeous
26:10group of young women and they're so proud of their culture and it just felt so warm and
26:16so vibrant.
26:18Oh, vibrant.
26:19Are you lonely, Ma?
26:21No, I'm enjoying myself.
26:22I've got some new friends.
26:24I'm Aisha.
26:26You look so younger.
26:27I told them you're 66.
26:30Wow.
26:30That's amazing.
26:32I really want this to be a trip for Mark but I think I might have missed some places
26:36on the way that I would have liked to have stopped and seen and I've realised that it's
26:40about balance really.
26:41You love the atmosphere here, don't you?
26:43Absolutely.
26:44Absolutely beautiful.
26:46And, you know, I'd like to do some things that I would really, really, really passionately
26:50enjoy that light me up.
26:53I like to meet people.
26:54I like to talk with people.
26:56I like to laugh with people and I'm hoping we'll prioritise that in the coming weeks.
27:12We're literally going across half of Turkey.
27:16Speeding along the coastal highway towards Hoppe.
27:20Hello.
27:21Do you speak English?
27:23Can we come and stay with you tonight?
27:27Yes, your house.
27:28Yes, OK.
27:29Following the success of their first homestay, the siblings are setting up another.
27:34Perfect.
27:34Thank you very much.
27:36Are you laughing at me?
27:38Hello.
27:38Do you speak English?
27:40A little.
27:40Can we stay with you tonight?
27:45We need to go to the Otogar.
27:46Otogar?
27:47The bus station in Tatvan.
27:49In South East Turkey, continuing their journey from Mount Nemrut, Andrew and Molly still have
27:55550 kilometres to reach Georgia.
27:58We need to go much faster than this.
28:01I know, I know.
28:02Plan A.
28:03Yeah.
28:03Let's get as close as we can tonight to the border.
28:06Because as soon as they think he can get across the border, he should be able to get a bus
28:10to Debrisi quite quickly.
28:12All right, kid?
28:13Plan.
28:16We should be in Georgia by tonight.
28:18What do you reckon?
28:19Hopefully, yes.
28:19It should be, yes.
28:21Already closing in on the crossing, Mark and Margo.
28:25Snip, snip, snip.
28:26We're going to cut your map.
28:27No, we're not cutting my map.
28:28I think we should cut the map and just leave the bits that we need.
28:31If the map is badly folded, it's no reflection on you as the person, Mark.
28:35Close behind.
28:37It's so beautiful.
28:38Beautiful.
28:39Fresh off an overnight bus, Joe and Kush have stopped just short of the border in Susus.
28:46Look at this.
28:47Oh.
28:47Wow.
28:48What's going on, Linus?
28:49This is...
28:50Oh, this is sick.
28:52What's this remind me of?
28:53It's like grandma's house.
28:54Turkish grandma's?
28:55Protecting their budget once again, they're staying with Adil and his wife, Beren,
29:01helping to care for their flock of over 100 free-range geese.
29:05We come from...
29:08Liverpool.
29:08Liverpool, football, match.
29:10Football, good.
29:10Yeah, football.
29:11Oh, er...
29:12Mo Salah?
29:13Mo Salah, huh?
29:15Here are the geese.
29:16What?
29:25There's a mini stump here, isn't it?
29:27Oh, yeah.
29:30Raised on open pasture, the region's cool climate creates the ideal environment to rear the birds.
29:40Prized across Turkey for their high nutritional value and succulent texture.
29:45Here?
29:46It is quite a change coming to the east side of Turkey.
29:52When I think of Turkey, you think, like, our holiday destination.
29:56Busy people.
29:57Very touristy place.
29:58But I don't think we expected this whole experience.
30:01Like, there was birds that were doing flips.
30:05That's mad.
30:06I wish our pigeons did this.
30:08Like, this isn't the type of thing you'd see in Liverpool as well.
30:11I think this is the geese shit.
30:13There's some things in life that have to be done.
30:16Yeah?
30:17Me and Jarry, we're happy to do it.
30:18What do they need us to do?
30:20We came here for work, and in return, a bed.
30:24This pretty much sums up our plan on this leg to save money.
30:29I swear some of these are trying to square up.
30:34I defo could put this on my CV.
30:36I shoveled bird poop.
30:38One of the jobs we've done.
30:39Hotel.
30:41Hospitality.
30:42Waiters.
30:43Geese.
30:44Yeah.
30:44My CV's going to be so thick.
30:47We have both finished our educations.
30:50We've got our grades.
30:51And now it's a case of whether we want to work or university,
30:56apprenticeships, anything.
30:57And this is the perfect opportunity to think about the future.
31:01This is sick.
31:02Coming to the middle of nowhere.
31:04Nah, this is heavy, this.
31:06I hope this experience will broaden my vision
31:10and open my eyes to see what I may want to do,
31:14but also discover what I maybe don't want to do.
31:19Joe, which is heavier?
31:20A kilogram of geese shit or a kilogram of chicken shit?
31:24They're both a kilogram.
31:25What do you mean?
31:27Oh, a trick question.
31:29What are you?
31:30We are both going to experience so many different cultures,
31:34different kinds of people, different attitudes to life.
31:37I just clocked.
31:38We're taking the geese for a walk.
31:40Oh, we actually are taking the geese for a walk.
31:42This race, it's a lifetime of exploring
31:44in such a short amount of time.
31:46I think it's going to open up a lot of doors
31:48that not many people have the privilege to unlock.
31:54That is adorable.
31:59I was supposed to get him back.
32:05This is Hopper.
32:07Fantastic.
32:08At the eastern edge of the Black Sea shoreline,
32:11Katie and Harrison have arrived in Hopper,
32:14where they've arranged a homestay at a nearby tea farm.
32:17But first...
32:19Let's go.
32:20Let's go.
32:20They look to book onward transport
32:22towards the checkpoint for tomorrow.
32:24Tbilisi?
32:25Yeah.
32:26With bus?
32:27Yeah.
32:27Tomorrow?
32:28No buses.
32:30Tomorrow?
32:31No.
32:31No bus.
32:33Tomorrow?
32:34No.
32:40We're just going to have to wait until the day after.
32:45Can we book, not tomorrow, but the morning after?
32:49OK.
32:49Perfect.
32:54With no choice but to stay in Hopper for two nights,
32:58the risk falling a full day behind in the race...
33:01It's not ideal.
33:02It's rubbish.
33:04It's pretty terrible.
33:05It's OK.
33:07It's not OK.
33:09The transports are not the best in the world for the timings,
33:12so we're just stuck and feel helpless.
33:16And there's nothing we can really do about that.
33:19Maybe other teams are finding it just as hard as well.
33:22Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
33:25Karma, karma.
33:27It's karma, karma.
33:28I'm going to throw myself in the Black Sea.
33:34We are going to Tbilisi.
33:36What's the best way to get to Tbilisi?
33:38Cars.
33:39Cars.
33:39How do we get to Cars?
33:41OK, perfect.
33:44Trailing behind, Andrew and Molly have reached the transport hub of Tatvan.
33:49We're trying to go to Cars tonight.
33:52No bus.
33:53Is there anywhere else around here?
33:56None.
33:57No buses anywhere tonight?
33:59No.
34:00Nobody seems to run buses at night time.
34:02How can we get to Tbilisi?
34:05Yes.
34:06Yes, it's not...
34:07Can we get a bus?
34:09Can we get a train?
34:10Can we get a bike?
34:11Tomorrow bus?
34:13Yes.
34:15When is that bus?
34:178.30.
34:18At 8.30 in the morning?
34:19Yes.
34:20Molly, take your bag.
34:22We're a bit stuck.
34:23There seems to be no buses tonight.
34:26But there is a bus to Ezerum tomorrow morning.
34:29Why is there no buses?
34:31Molly, I can't answer that question, Petal.
34:34If we are in Ezerum tomorrow, would we get a bus from Ezerum to Tbilisi?
34:42Daddy, he's speaking through him.
34:44He's not giving us independent information.
34:47I want to go to Tbilisi.
34:50I want to go to Tbilisi.
34:51Okay.
34:51Uh, you?
34:53So, uh...
34:55I'm just...
34:56I'm a bit frustrated at the minute, because Daddy is not listening to me at all.
34:59And he's telling me to shush, which is really annoying me.
35:02So...
35:02It's okay.
35:04But...
35:05At the same time, I'm always dirty myself.
35:09So...
35:10I don't know.
35:12So what do you want to do?
35:13I don't know.
35:14I don't... I don't know.
35:16I'm not really sure what to do.
35:18I actually have no gut instinct.
35:20It's a bit annoying.
35:20I normally have something telling me.
35:22So I'm kind of thinking a full day behind is what we're looking at if we stay tonight.
35:29It's a choice between budget and getting there.
35:31We could pay 7,000 for a taxi, or 2,400, get a hotel here.
35:37I think I'm just tired, and I really mean that.
35:40I just think I'm a bit tired.
35:41What do we need more at this moment in time, Pet?
35:43A bed.
35:44That's it.
35:45Okay.
35:48A bit of tension tonight between the two of us.
35:50Daddy just kept telling me to shh.
35:52And I find it really difficult when you are just as good at getting information,
35:57but you're kind of put in the back burner.
35:59So I was struggling, and it got a wee bit tense for a moment.
36:03Stress levels are up.
36:07Oh, jeez.
36:08I've never felt tired of my life.
36:34I've never felt tired of my life.
36:37How did you feel?
36:37Yeah.
36:39Hopefully we're going to be a couple of hours ahead from the other teams.
36:42Fingers crossed. We've kept moving.
36:44We've had good transport connections so far.
36:45Touch wood. Let's go.
36:47We're going to Possoff. They're direct to Tbilisi.
36:50Getting the first bus, the second bus, unchecking.
36:55The boys' plan, take a minibus to Possoff and cross the border.
37:01Already on Georgian soil, Mark and Margot.
37:08Mark, let me in.
37:10But just 200 kilometres shy of the checkpoint, the progress is put on hold.
37:16How are you feeling?
37:17I'm not for you to be in Muslim head.
37:19No, OK, you're the priority.
37:21Even if we lose, like, you know, hours.
37:22Yeah, exactly.
37:23No. There's no point in me sitting in the hotel while he'll, is there?
37:27So you're getting out?
37:28Yeah. I've got to get out and experience this place.
37:31Do you want to sit in when you're with you?
37:32Yes.
37:34I might feel better later, son.
37:35I'll draw these curtains for you, let you have a little more rest.
37:39All right. Take care.
37:43Came here mainly Alcatsiki for Mark, but now it's going to be Margot's day.
37:48I am sorry Mark's sick.
37:50It's disappointing in race terms, and I do fear we're going to be trailing in fourth place.
37:56Not a lot we can do about it, so I'm not going to get upset about it.
38:00I'm just going to go eat some dumplings and drink some wine,
38:02because if you can't do anything about it, you've just got to live your best life.
38:05Absolutely gorgeous.
38:07The castle looks amazing.
38:10In a valley surrounded by the Mescheti Mountains,
38:14Akatsiki.
38:16Watching over the city, the 1,100-year-old fortress,
38:20its walls sheltering a mosque, church and a synagogue.
38:25It's the castle called Akatsiki, which means Newcastle.
38:30Newcastle in Georgia.
38:31Look at this.
38:33Mark would just be beyond himself with post-scouted excitement if he was here.
38:40I'm feeling pretty ropey this morning.
38:43I had TT troubles all night, tummy trouble, so I haven't slept at all.
38:47It is frustrating.
38:49I would have loved to get to Tbilisi this evening.
38:52I don't think that's going to happen,
38:54but we'll wait and see if I can recover.
39:00Oh, that's nice.
39:01I like this one.
39:03I like that one.
39:05I think this is my favourite.
39:07Oh, OK.
39:07I'll finish these off.
39:09Yeah, those are...
39:10OK, thank you.
39:12A little Georgian wine tasting we've got going here.
39:15I'm not really sure Mark would be pleased that I'm spending money on wine,
39:18but I hope he'll be OK with this.
39:21He'll be glad that I'm happy anyway, so...
39:24Oh, no, now I'm getting guilt.
39:27OK.
39:28He's going to be...
39:30I don't know what he's going to say when I get back.
39:33Amazing!
39:34These are huge!
39:38Mmm!
39:39Homemade cognac.
39:40Cheers!
39:41I could drink a lot more of that.
39:43The truth is out.
39:46£10!
39:47So that is an absolute steal.
39:50I think I have done fabulously.
39:56Part of coming on the race was like running away from real life
39:59and just enjoying myself
40:01and just be me for a change
40:03and just go let rip, you know?
40:06I love doing different things
40:08and I love doing new things all the time
40:10and experiences and excitement.
40:12When I had my children, it was like,
40:13no, you have to kind of, you know,
40:15you've got this work to be done.
40:16It can be joyful work, but it's a slog.
40:19I never planned to have the life I had.
40:22I never planned to be a mum
40:24and settle into suburban lifestyle
40:27and it kind of, it kind of happened.
40:31But, um...
40:33..the chance to do this was like
40:34to step back into that time of mischief.
40:39In my real life,
40:41there's just so many different pulls
40:43on my time and responsibilities,
40:44but here, they're gone.
40:58Tea?
40:59It's tea?
41:00OK.
41:00Yeah.
41:01It doesn't look anything like it does in a tea bag.
41:06190 kilometres west,
41:08Still in Turquia
41:10Katie and Harrison are repaying their bed and board
41:16By helping farmer Harun with his family business
41:22This is all your tea your brother tea brother
41:28Brother tea is that tea up there cousin cousin cousin cousin beautiful color everybody
41:37Cousin then you sell
41:40Business yeah money, okay. Yeah, okay
41:44Very good, very good
41:46This is a pretty special landscape. It's probably the most breathtaking like landscape I've ever seen
41:56Hopper's lush forested mountains lie within Turquia's prime tea growing region along the eastern black sea coast
42:06Introduced in 1918 by botanist Ali Riza air 10 tea has since become central to the local economy
42:16I've always wanted to see places like this. I know a lot of my friends have gone see tea farms
42:24I think I was a bit gutted when I didn't get to go traveling
42:28The year after sixth form
42:31Did you really want to go?
42:33Yeah
42:35God yeah
42:37Why didn't you go?
42:38I think mum was at her worst then
42:41I just couldn't
42:43Leave mum for an extended period of time. Yeah, just wouldn't have wanted to go just in case anything
42:49Bad happened. Yeah
42:51You'd want to be around. Yeah
42:54Mum's doing a lot better now, but I think we've cared for mum for the last 10 years on and
42:59off
43:00It's interesting like the phrase cared for mum because
43:03Doesn't everyone care for their mum, but maybe we did it a little bit more intensely
43:08Washing cooking on the really bad days it would be like helping dresser and things like that really
43:15I think it was a time of a lot of hospital
43:19Visits visits yeah appointments emergency visits so yeah
43:26Mum became ill
43:27Um it was after the separation with dad
43:31It started with the fibromyalgia yeah chronic fatigue
43:36Slip disc in her back that last two years
43:40There is nothing you can do if she's screaming out in pain
43:43And there's nothing you do apart from holding a hand
43:46I remember
43:48You felt like a pressure to push the doctor keep asking questions about but what can we do like back
43:54in 18 19
43:55I'm not the most confident now I definitely wasn't there and I just I just couldn't
44:01The bit that took a toll on me was just constantly seeing her in pain
44:07Like that just broke me like
44:11And knowing there's just nothing you can do and nothing no one else can do but just sit there and
44:17watch her in so much pain
44:20Probably the emotional side of it took more of a toll on you
44:24Yeah my use was more practical maybe
44:28I think I actually took on more
44:32Emotion like emotional responsibility
44:36Despite me being younger yeah yeah because that was what you were good at yeah or better out than me
44:48I have a slight feeling of guilt towards how much katie cared for mum
44:55Looking back what I wanted to do at that point was spend all every hour on the day on my
44:59xbox or
45:00Or with my mates playing football so I think I would
45:04Be a little bit selfish in terms of prioritize what I want to do
45:08But then when you hear about how much katie took on from that then maybe I feel a little bit
45:12more guilty in the fact that
45:13I didn't take as much as the emotional weight as katie did
45:19I think I would have liked to have
45:23Talked to her some more about the emotional side
45:28Because I think that took a big toll on me growing up and
45:33To be able to talk to him about that would have been nice just to
45:37Be able to share that and not like
45:40Have it by myself
45:42So maybe that's a good place to start whilst we're racing
45:47Take a cup of tea
45:49Yeah lower cup of tea
45:53Bus station?
45:55Bus station?
45:58Let's get going
46:00Fingers crossed we can get on a coach and get to checkpoint tonight
46:05You think we'll make it Mark?
46:07Oh I don't know
46:08I hope we do
46:09With Mark back on his feet the in-laws restart their push to the checkpoint
46:16Looks all closed up doesn't it
46:19Tbilisi
46:206.20 in the morning so there's nothing to be easy till tomorrow
46:26So we could go to bed now get up tomorrow and get that bus or
46:30How much would a cab cost?
46:32No idea at all
46:33But it's how much would you know a bed for the night cost?
46:36We'd save it on a bed wouldn't we?
46:38It would be yeah
46:38If it's gonna cost us
46:39It's a balancing act isn't it?
46:41How much is a taxi to Tbilisi?
46:43200
46:44200 lari
46:45How much is that?
46:46A lot
46:47It's 57 quid
46:48How long?
46:49Three hours
46:50Three hours?
46:51Three hours
46:51Yes
46:52Yes
46:5310 o'clock we get in
46:55We're going to do
46:58It's up to you it's
47:00Bodger versus speed
47:06Hello
47:06We're trying to go to Tbilisi
47:09330 kilometers behind and trailing in last place
47:13Andrew and Molly have made it to Erzurum and are still looking for a bus to the checkpoint
47:18Go direct to Tbilisi
47:20If we can
47:21No first between Hoppa
47:23Hoppa to Tbilisi direct
47:25What time will we arrive?
47:27Five hours later you are arrived to Hoppa
47:29So near
47:29Hoppa is five hours away
47:31Five hours and then after the Hoppa
47:33Seven o'clock at night
47:34Good choice Molly
47:36Thank you
47:37Cheers
47:38I'm a bit nervous
47:40We originally planned to go through the middle of Turkey
47:44avoiding the coastal route but what's actually happened is we've ended up doing coastal route
47:49A bit backwards and probably a bit hours ways
47:51It's a bit annoying that we've had to go all over the place but it is what it is
47:55With no direct bus to Tbilisi
47:58they've booked a 240 kilometer detour via the coastal town of Hoppa
48:04I don't know
48:05I don't know
48:06I'm not sure if this is a good decision
48:08What do you think?
48:10I think that is to ask
48:13Hello
48:13Could you help me?
48:16Is Hoppa the quickest route to Tbilisi?
48:19No
48:20No
48:20No
48:21No
48:22No
48:22Don't go to Hoppa
48:23Hoppa
48:23Don't go to Hoppa
48:24Rizé Tbilisi
48:26Rizé at 9.30
48:27Yeah
48:27Is Tbilisi
48:28Okay perfect
48:29Enjoy
48:29Yeah
48:30Thank you
48:32The bus driver has said
48:34Yes
48:34Better to get off
48:35Rizé
48:36At Rizé
48:36Yeah
48:37And then from Rizé there's a straight bus to Tbilisi
48:41Tonight
48:41Tonight
48:42Okay kid
48:43Trust you
48:44Hope and pray now
48:48Molly's new plan
48:49Make up time by getting off early in Rizé
48:52And catch an overnight bus direct to the checkpoint
48:57Rizé?
48:58Rizé
48:58Okay
48:59Right come on
49:00This could be a major risk
49:03Tbilisi?
49:04Yes
49:04Tonight
49:05Tonight
49:06Tonight
49:06Two tickets
49:07Just be in a little
49:08Yes
49:09Thank you
49:09Thank you
49:11Perfect
49:11Okay
49:14We got off a stop early
49:15The bus driver on the bus kind of gave us an indication that there was buses
49:18But you know at the language bar you can't trust anything until you actually physically have a ticket
49:23But I have a ticket that says Tbilisi so that's not what I care about
49:27Well done kid
49:28Oh
49:29Daddy's very much a daddy
49:30He takes the lead but every now and again I step in
49:34You ready?
49:36Three, two, one
49:36Woo
49:38Yeah yeah yeah
49:39Oh
49:40As a parent you realise that time goes very very quickly
49:43Whee
49:46When they go from that age to the age she is at the minute that time flies
49:50Oh we won
49:51Yay
49:52There's a point where you have to let them grow up and be who she is going to be in
49:57this
49:57in this world
49:58We'll get them all fun
49:59Yay
50:01It's hard letting Molly take control because I mean all daddies want to be needed but it is very difficult
50:06as a father
50:07So it's it's a work in progress and I am struggling with that
50:11Big kick oh
50:13But we're making great memories on this trip so that's that's what this is all about
50:16Tbilisi here we come
50:20Taxi to Tbilisi
50:25What do you think it's worth it I think it's worth it
50:29Having caught a minibus to cross into Georgia Joe and Kush spend their earnings on a 230 kilometer taxi ride
50:37Straight to Tbilisi
50:38Go fast
50:41Hey there we go
50:42There we go
50:43Yeah
50:44I think this was a good decision
50:45Yeah yeah
50:46We'll get there
50:47Today
50:48And I just think the guarantee is worth it over spending that extra bit of money
50:53To be fair lad we have saved a lot this leg
50:55Yeah
50:59Whoa Tbilisi
51:00Here we come
51:01Yes
51:01Woohoo
51:03How fast was that then
51:04Just ahead Mark and Margo have also opted for speed over budget
51:10We're doing what we have to do to get to checkpoint as fast as possible
51:14Yeah this time we had to get a taxi didn't we
51:16I think we would have lost too much time otherwise
51:18Yeah
51:19I don't think we're that far behind everyone to be honest
51:21Staying in the game
51:23Staying in the game Mark
51:27The vibrant heart of Georgia
51:31Tbilisi
51:31Its architecture is diverse as its history
51:34Onion dome churches and Soviet tower blocks
51:38Stand shoulder to shoulder with ultra modern structures
51:42Built as part of an effort to reinvent the city
51:46After the fall of the Soviet Union
51:49Thank you very much
51:51Sick

55:55I can't believe we're third
55:56It's nice to know
55:57After a leg
55:58That we found
55:59Between ourselves
56:00Very difficult
56:01We actually still did
56:03Yes we did
56:03Half decency
56:04Yes
56:04So
56:08Holy flip
56:09After all that

56:29Please sign in
56:30Everly
56:34Yeah we are far behind
56:36I'm really happy for them all
56:39Good for you
56:39I'm not
56:41From first to last
56:42It's really
56:44Quite the fall from grace
56:46We're now the underdogs
56:48It's something to chase after
56:49Could be a lot worse
56:51I personally deem it as unacceptable
56:54At the halfway point in the race to Mongolia
56:57Mark and Margo have surged into the lead for the first time
57:00While former frontrunners Katie and Harrison have tumbled to last place
57:06Seeing those three names ahead of you
57:08When we have not experienced one or two names ahead of us before
57:11It is a real kick in the teeth
57:16It's annoying to fashion your seatbelts
57:26This is what we like adventure
57:29Very much feels like the unknown now
57:33Welcome
57:33Welcome to the
57:35Number one
57:35Champion
57:38It's tight now I don't know how you're going to do this boy
57:41Batman's on top
57:43Give me your vodka
57:46Oh my god
57:48You could get lost very very quickly in this leg
57:51Oh look at that
57:52Oh those camels
57:54Oh my god
57:54There's just camels in the middle of the road
57:56This is going to be cool
58:25I don't know how you're going to do this boy
58:26I don't know how you're going to do it
58:26I don't know how you're going to do it
58:26I don't know how you're going to do it
58:26I don't know how you're going to do it
58:26I don't know how you're going to do it
58:27I don't know how you're going to do it
