00:00:00I
00:00:38Welcome to our ment.
00:00:40It's a Mongolian tradition to offer milk, honoring the spirits of ancestors.
00:00:46One of the oldest rituals in Mongolia,
00:00:50tatsal is an offering of gratitude for the spirits of the mountains and sky.
00:00:55Milk is the symbol of all pure things.
00:01:00Now I want to make an offering for your journey.
00:01:03This will give you a blessing.
00:01:04Thank you, thank you.
00:01:05Where would you go?
00:01:07North. We're going north.
00:01:09Have a safe and pleasant journey.
00:01:13May you reach your destination without any obstacles.
00:01:19Now is the time to express gratitude for your journey.
00:01:28I see a journey.
00:01:30I see an opportunity to do things that you've never done before.
00:01:35The timing of the race is so perfect.
00:01:38One more side, because we're going to come back with so much independence after it's broke.
00:01:43Good luck, everybody.
00:01:45Over 11,000 kilometers away.
00:01:48One more, look at it.
00:01:49Their adventure began.
00:01:51Come on.
00:01:52The teams weaved a path east.
00:01:54Fasten your seatbelt, you're in for a bumpy ride.
00:01:58Through the expanse of Eurasia.
00:02:01Oh my God.
00:02:02Across eight contrasting countries.
00:02:04Holy moly.
00:02:05In a race defined by extremes.
00:02:08It's hot here, isn't it?
00:02:09It is so cold.
00:02:11Not exactly the Orient Express.
00:02:14I've got a horse in Kyrgyzstan.
00:02:18Now, one final test of endurance awaits to reach the finish line.
00:02:24And for the victors, a prize of 20,000 pounds.
00:02:33It's kind of crazy, this content end.
00:02:35No second chances.
00:02:37No, no.
00:02:37It is.
00:02:38You win or you lose.
00:02:39I'm feeling very confident.
00:02:41I'm seeing an empty book.
00:02:42That is my whole head right now.
00:02:45Manifestment, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:46I'm competitive at heart and I want to win.
00:02:50You have to win some and lose some.
00:02:51Yeah, we haven't won some yet.
00:02:52We haven't won some, exactly.
00:02:54We haven't been first, but we only have to win one leg and that's the last leg.
00:02:58I feel like it's between us.
00:03:00What do you think?
00:03:00I still wouldn't write off the others.
00:03:02A good connection and a bad connection for us and everybody's back in the race again.
00:03:06Check your mirrors.
00:03:07Check your mirrors.
00:03:10All four teams have reached the seventh checkpoint.
00:03:14Joe and Kush sit in pole position.
00:03:17And after finding a cheap hitchhike, Mark and Margo signed in a day and a half behind.
00:03:22While Andrew and Molly are in second place, they hold the advantage of the strongest budget.
00:03:29We're 24 hours behind and I want to catch up time.
00:03:32I still want to win.
00:03:33That's the attitude.
00:03:34We've done fourth to first before.
00:03:3620 hours behind.
00:03:37We can do third to first for 24 hours behind.
00:03:39There's no reason why we can't win this race.
00:03:42Yes!
00:03:43Making it to Hat Gow is my number one priority.
00:03:47Have we got enough money?
00:03:48Mongolia is expensive.
00:03:50Public transport is minimal.
00:03:51We're going to have to get cheap travel.
00:03:53I think we'll do it.
00:03:54I like that attitude, Mark.
00:03:56We're going to do ourselves proud.
00:03:57We are, yes.
00:04:13You ready?
00:04:14Let's do this, man.
00:04:155 a.m.
00:04:17Departing as race leaders for the second time.
00:04:19Thank you so much.
00:04:20Joe and Kush.
00:04:21Wrong.
00:04:22This is it.
00:04:23This is his last line.
00:04:24Hat Gow.
00:04:25Let's go.
00:04:28To reach the finish line, teams face a crucial choice.
00:04:33Head east via the capital, Ulaanbaatar,
00:04:36following paved roads on a well-connected route of buses,
00:04:40taxis and the country's only passenger train line,
00:04:44but a detour of over 500 kilometres.
00:04:48Or strike out north, heading off-road across the remote Hangai Mountains.
00:04:54Half the distance, but twice the risk,
00:04:57where public transport disappears and they must depend on locals to make progress.
00:05:04The north route's way more direct, but more risky.
00:05:07It's like off-road.
00:05:09Poor roads, bad transport connections.
00:05:11I don't think that's an option.
00:05:12Car going to Ulaanbaatar seems safer.
00:05:15Going by the city, we've got buses and trains.
00:05:16Maybe there is a night train to Ednep.
00:05:19If you get to Ednep by tomorrow morning, we are flying.
00:05:23Pushing out towards Ulaanbaatar, the boys plan to swing east,
00:05:27taking a chance on connections from the capital to Mongolia's second largest city,
00:05:33Erdunep.
00:05:34I'm so nervous.
00:05:36I'm so nervous.
00:05:37The risk is that we're actually going away from Checkpoint.
00:05:39Is that open?
00:05:40Yes.
00:05:41We'll rely on if we can get transport out of Ulaanbaatar in the night.
00:05:45Could you call a taxi?
00:05:47We need to get to Ulaanbaatar.
00:05:49If that exists, we are sorted.
00:05:50If not, then that could risk everything.
00:05:55There are no taxis available now.
00:05:56The bus leaves.
00:05:58It's not too late.
00:05:59We could try and hitchhike.
00:06:00Let's just go, bro.
00:06:03Getting out of carcans is not easy.
00:06:05We don't want Andrew and Molly to catch up.
00:06:06Come on, please stop.
00:06:08Hopefully, you can get a ride before 10 a.m.
00:06:13Hello.
00:06:14Could you help us, please?
00:06:17Ulaanbaatar?
00:06:19You?
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:20Can we come?
00:06:21Ulaanbaatar?
00:06:22We have money.
00:06:25Let's go.
00:06:26Woo!
00:06:26Let's go.
00:06:27Go!
00:06:29Woo!
00:06:30Swerve the bus.
00:06:31We're getting private.
00:06:32We're going in style to Ulaanbaatar.
00:06:35Should we negotiate a price?
00:06:3680,000 is okay.
00:06:39Bro, 80,000.
00:06:41What a gangster.
00:06:43Thank you so much.
00:06:47Bro, we have swerved the bus by two hours and 15 minutes.
00:06:51Good.
00:06:52Very good stuff.
00:06:53One highway, it's daylight, it's smooth.
00:06:55Everything's gone.
00:06:56Oh, my God, bro.
00:07:00Jesus, that's cold.
00:07:01That is cold.
00:07:02Next, to make haste for Hat Gal.
00:07:04Are we happy with going to Testerleg first?
00:07:07I think that's a good call.
00:07:08Andrew and Molly.
00:07:09We have the money to go more directly.
00:07:12Absolutely.
00:07:12Why do you take the safe auction?
00:07:14Okay.
00:07:15That's the supermarket there.
00:07:18Hello.
00:07:18Taxi to Testerleg?
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:20Can they collect us from here?
00:07:22Yeah, indeed.
00:07:23Perfect.
00:07:23Getting on the road, SAP.
00:07:25We're choosing to go the shorter route.
00:07:27Can you stand there for a minute?
00:07:28Okay.
00:07:29It might be trickier, but we can throw money at taxis, so it's lovely to be able to kind
00:07:35and not panic about it.
00:07:36You ready?
00:07:37Oh, is he here?
00:07:37Yeah.
00:07:39Every moment we move is going to be getting close to Hat Gal.
00:07:42Going to cross country is a huge risk.
00:07:44But we want the winner, and we're going to fight toot and nail the winner.
00:07:48Cheers.
00:07:48They plan to exploit their healthy budget, splashing out on private taxis to propel them
00:07:54north on a more direct route to the checkpoint.
00:07:58Okay.
00:07:59Great job.
00:08:01Yay!
00:08:02We're on the way!
00:08:04There's the start of the last leg hit.
00:08:07Scary but exciting.
00:08:08I'm assuming the boys have gone to Ulaanbaatar because we suspect they have limited funds.
00:08:13Yes.
00:08:13So they're probably going to try and get a bit of work.
00:08:15Yeah.
00:08:15It doesn't make sense to me.
00:08:17We should just go direct to get a bit of an advantage over the boys.
00:08:21Yeah.
00:08:23370 kilometres east.
00:08:26That's amazing.
00:08:28Joe and Kush have reached Ulaanbaatar.
00:08:31Oh, my God.
00:08:33Surely not.
00:08:34I can't lie.
00:08:35I didn't expect to see these guys in Mongolia.
00:08:37Got Beatles fans love the word, bro.
00:08:39Couldn't even name them.
00:08:42Mingo Paul.
00:08:44Lennon.
00:08:44Mingo Starr.
00:08:46John Lynn, Paul McCartney, and...
00:08:49What's the last one?
00:08:53The world's coldest capital city, where winter temperatures can plunge to minus 40.
00:09:00It's home to around 1.7 million people, nearly half the country's entire population.
00:09:07Tightly packed gear districts surround a vibrant, modern urban core.
00:09:14Okay, let's find the overnight train to Erdoganet.
00:09:18What the hell?
00:09:20Okay, that can't be right.
00:09:22What?
00:09:25What?
00:09:26What are you thinking?
00:09:27There's no trains we can get from here.
00:09:30No, it's the capital.
00:09:31There should be loads of transport.
00:09:32I think we should pass this lady.
00:09:34Hello.
00:09:35Erdoganet?
00:09:35Times?
00:09:36It says 7 o'clock.
00:09:38Tomorrow, in the evening.
00:09:40We can't get that too late.
00:09:42God.
00:09:43Did you get a bus?
00:09:43Er, bus, autobus?
00:09:46No.
00:09:47Train ticket.
00:09:48Only train ticket.
00:09:50You may have made a really bad decision.
00:09:53We're just stuck.
00:09:55It starts to get this overwhelming fear that you've done the wrong thing.
00:09:59Oh, we took a much longer route trying to rely on a train.
00:10:02However, the train hasn't worked out.
00:10:04What can we do?
00:10:05We could do a job and then find another way to get to Erdoganet tomorrow morning.
00:10:11Yeah.
00:10:12If Molly and Andrew took the more direct route, there's a good chance that they're ahead of us.
00:10:17Oh, that's so annoying.
00:10:19Oh, man.
00:10:27Cheers.
00:10:29Right.
00:10:29Right, kid.
00:10:30We made it.
00:10:30It's a lovely wee home.
00:10:33Building momentum, Andrew and Molly have pushed into the lead by arriving into Tetser Lake.
00:10:41There, Molly.
00:10:41Gas toast.
00:10:42Here's the room.
00:10:43Room number three.
00:10:45Oh, thank you so much.
00:10:46This is lovely.
00:10:47Perfect.
00:10:48To map out their next move in the morning...
00:10:50Can we ask you a really important question?
00:10:52We need to get to Jargaland.
00:10:54They are enlisting the help of guest house owner and tour operator Murray.
00:10:59That's it there.
00:11:00That is Jargaland.
00:11:01Okay.
00:11:01Yeah.
00:11:02However, that's Jargaland.
00:11:04Yes.
00:11:04So is that.
00:11:05Right.
00:11:05Jargaland is a joy for town.
00:11:09Right.
00:11:10There's many of them.
00:11:11Right.
00:11:11Okay.
00:11:12Throughout Mongolia, it's common for places to share the same name.
00:11:17Jargaland being especially popular.
00:11:20To distinguish the correct location, travellers often need to specify the province.
00:11:26It's that one.
00:11:27That's how it's spelt, isn't it?
00:11:28Yeah.
00:11:29Oh, okay.
00:11:29That Jargal.
00:11:30That is a remarkable spot.
00:11:31And you have a contact there?
00:11:32Yes.
00:11:33We have a contact there.
00:11:34Yes.
00:11:34Okay.
00:11:36We need to be there as early as we can tomorrow.
00:11:38Would you be able to help us book a taxi?
00:11:40The easiest way is for me just to call the driver.
00:11:42I could hug you.
00:11:43Can I hug you?
00:11:45We have located the actual Jargaland.
00:11:48Seems to be quite a few.
00:11:50So it was quite nice to work out which one we're exactly going to.
00:11:53Do you have a budget for this stressful?
00:11:54You tell us how much.
00:11:55What do you need?
00:11:56175.
00:11:57Yes.
00:11:58That's perfect.
00:11:59This could be huge for us.
00:12:01We have saved the money.
00:12:02I only let him eat crisp sandwiches for six weeks.
00:12:06We're getting half of the hotel.
00:12:09Very pleased.
00:12:10All's looking well.
00:12:11All's looking upwards.
00:12:12And I'm just so happy.
00:12:17That was a good choice today.
00:12:19Happy, eh?
00:12:21I'm busy.
00:12:23While Andrew and Molly get an early night...
00:12:28Joe and Kush's evening is just getting started.
00:12:33That one.
00:12:34You got it.
00:12:36We need extra money for a log taxi to earn it.
00:12:39Early as we can in the morning.
00:12:41There you are.
00:12:42With an average age of just 25...
00:12:45What's your favourite cocktail?
00:12:47Occasionally enjoy a log island.
00:12:49Do you want me to try and make you one?
00:12:50Yes, please.
00:12:52Ulaanbaatar has become the pulse of modern Mongolia.
00:12:57Oh, it's been strong!
00:12:58You'll survive.
00:12:59Renowned for its thriving nightlife.
00:13:02This part of the city, I guess, brings by a lot of young people.
00:13:04And a lot of English speakers, too.
00:13:07You guys are lucky, because it's so warm in England.
00:13:09It's warm?
00:13:10We've got a lot of rain.
00:13:11It's not as cold as here, because this is, like, dry cold.
00:13:14Yeah, it stings your throat.
00:13:15It stings.
00:13:16I swear to God, when I hit 35, I'll move to, like, Manchester, London or...
00:13:21Liverpool.
00:13:22I heard the food is whack, though.
00:13:24Is that true?
00:13:25No, it's...
00:13:26Like, fish and chips and beans or...
00:13:27Banging, banging.
00:13:28No, I tell you, it's so nice.
00:13:30Is this yours?
00:13:32Oh, it feels weird.
00:13:33It feels like being back at home.
00:13:35Before I left, I quit working in bars.
00:13:38Lev come in, I've gone right back to pouring a pint.
00:13:41In Mongolia, do they have, like, a head on the beer?
00:13:43Yes, we do.
00:13:44When we go back to Liverpool, part of me's just dreading it,
00:13:47because I know that it's going to be, like, job searching.
00:13:50Do you want to have one selfie with you guys?
00:13:52Yeah, absolutely.
00:13:53Mm-hmm.
00:13:55I don't want to go back to normal life,
00:13:57especially after experiencing something like this.
00:13:58Every day is different.
00:14:00I want to just make the most of life right now.
00:14:02Nice to meet you.
00:14:03Still got a long way to go, man.
00:14:05I still believe we can win.
00:14:18Watch the ice, sir.
00:14:216.55am.
00:14:23We could finish first, but going through the capital,
00:14:26it's not going to win us.
00:14:27The route has to be a direct.
00:14:30Chasing Andrew and Molly,
00:14:32the siblings of the second team to take a gamble
00:14:34on a more direct route north to claw back time.
00:14:38You need to move quick.
00:14:39Left or right?
00:14:42Ah, that's these ladies.
00:14:44Excuse me.
00:14:44Hello.
00:14:45Um, Aftobus.
00:14:47This way.
00:14:53Taxi or Aftobus?
00:14:55She's calling somewhere.
00:15:04Hello?
00:15:06Hello?
00:15:06Hello.
00:15:08Um, we are trying to get to Zetsaleg.
00:15:12Zetsaleg.
00:15:12Just to give you one minute,
00:15:13I come to your location.
00:15:16Oh, okay, thank you.
00:15:17Thank you, thank you so much.
00:15:18Thank you, thank you.
00:15:20She's coming.
00:15:22I don't know what that means.
00:15:23I don't know whether she's just going to come help us
00:15:25or whether she's going to...
00:15:26Take us.
00:15:27Take us somewhere, I don't know.
00:15:28Yeah, we'll see.
00:15:30I like this lady here.
00:15:33Hello?
00:15:35Yes.
00:15:35On the phone, yes.
00:15:37How can I help you?
00:15:38Um, we are trying to get to Zetsaleg.
00:15:43Well, we have no car.
00:15:45No car?
00:15:46Yeah.
00:15:47Oh, okay.
00:15:48I know what you think it is.
00:15:50You want to take us?
00:15:51Yeah.
00:15:51Really?
00:15:52Oh, wow.
00:15:52Yeah, that sounds great.
00:15:54I can't believe this.
00:15:56Before we go, can we agree on a prize?
00:15:59$20,000.
00:16:00$20,000.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:01All the way to 250 kilometres for $20,000.
00:16:05Wow, that is very, very kind.
00:16:07I want to help you guys.
00:16:09I can't believe we're on our way.
00:16:10This is huge for the race.
00:16:13Everything happens for a reason.
00:16:15It does.
00:16:15And that reason is...
00:16:16We're winning.
00:16:17...Numero One.
00:16:19Mission Hat Gal is a go.
00:16:22As Katie and Harrison kickstart their comeback with a lift to Tetsaleg...
00:16:26$250,000.
00:16:28Isn't it?
00:16:29Uh-huh.
00:16:30Boom.
00:16:31...In Ulan Bator, having ruled out waiting all day for a train...
00:16:35My friend, let's go fast.
00:16:37Joe and Kush are utilising the cash they earned yesterday on a taxi to Erdenet.
00:16:44No Weebricks.
00:16:45No.
00:16:46Hold it in.
00:16:48Things have really gone to plan, but this route has the security of options.
00:16:52Even though there were no trains and there was taxis, there's also an actual paved road...
00:16:57...that I really don't have.
00:16:59There still might not be enough.
00:17:00And it's been a smooth ride.
00:17:07Oh, my goodness.
00:17:10Oh, this is not our everyday roads.
00:17:13350 kilometres closer to the finish line...
00:17:16Jesus, he's getting over the top.
00:17:19It's a bit of a bone shake.
00:17:22...Andrew and Molly are making strides to Jargaland.
00:17:26Jesus, man.
00:17:28Jesus, man.
00:17:28He knew it was going to be a long torture.
00:17:29Bouncy Jargaland.
00:17:31Bouncy is understanding, right?
00:17:32Yeah.
00:17:35Where are we?
00:17:36I can't answer your question.
00:17:38We're still in the middle of nowhere.
00:17:48We've got nothing to lose.
00:17:50If you're going to get in a blaze of glory...
00:17:52..with just 9% of their budget remaining, Mark and Margot are last to get going.
00:17:59Budget is horribly tight.
00:18:02But we're so far behind.
00:18:04The only option we do have is to go as direct as we can.
00:18:07Absolutely.
00:18:08Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:18:09Your horses are fabulous.
00:18:11Can you help us?
00:18:12We want to get to Tsetsaleg.
00:18:14Betting on a more direct route to get them to Hatgal cheaply,
00:18:18they're the third team avoiding the capital.
00:18:21Tsetsaleg. I came from there.
00:18:22Did you?
00:18:23Easy.
00:18:24Ever since we got to Mongolia, we have found it tough.
00:18:27But our race is not over and we are so focused on Hatgal and getting there.
00:18:32Try to hitchhike here.
00:18:34Thank you very much.
00:18:35Cheers, guys.
00:18:37Let's get our thumbs out.
00:18:38And try and hitch.
00:18:39Perfect.
00:18:41It's quite a big distance, but it didn't get a lift.
00:18:43And you can agree a low figure that way.
00:18:46Hopefully, our budget will last us all the way to Hatgal.
00:18:49Here's a cow.
00:18:50Let's hitch a ride on the cow.
00:18:52I think this new headdress goes with my hitchhiking persona.
00:18:55Do I look like a weirdo?
00:18:57Yes.
00:18:57No, you don't, no.
00:18:59Hello.
00:19:01Hello.
00:19:01We're going to Tsetsaleg.
00:19:03Can you give us a lift?
00:19:05Yes, it's Tsetsaleg.
00:19:06Yes, you give us a lift.
00:19:07Me and him.
00:19:08Mark!
00:19:09Mark!
00:19:10He's very slow.
00:19:11He's quite old.
00:19:12Come on.
00:19:13I'm coming.
00:19:13They said yes.
00:19:14Yes.
00:19:16So good of you.
00:19:17This is brilliant, Mark.
00:19:18It's very good, isn't it?
00:19:19Actually excellent, yeah.
00:19:20I'll give him some money.
00:19:21A little bit of money towards petrol.
00:19:22Yeah.
00:19:23This is a result in half, isn't it?
00:19:25It's a good start to the leg.
00:19:26And it's well within budget.
00:19:29It's great.
00:19:33Jonathan.
00:19:34Okay.
00:19:35This is it, isn't it?
00:19:36And this has been the journey from hell.
00:19:37Yes, from hell.
00:19:38After five hours traversing rocky off-road tracks...
00:19:42God, how remote is it?
00:19:43Yeah, very in the middle of nowhere.
00:19:46Andrew and Molly have arrived in Jargaland.
00:19:48We're finally here.
00:19:52We have a bed for tonight.
00:19:54Could you make contact with him, please?
00:19:58I know, I know...
00:20:15Where is he?
00:20:18I don't understand.
00:20:20Is he here?
00:20:23I don't understand.
00:20:25not this jargon no this could be bad if we ring murray from last night good idea
00:20:35found out it's the wrong jargon i'm a bit confused we pointed to the right one
00:20:41i think on the map last night not what we needed in the last run i don't think the mood
00:20:46would be
00:20:47very high if we have to go backwards hello do you know what's happening here sorry we're not really
00:20:54understanding you needed to go to hoof school jargon not to i've hung that guy how are we in the
00:21:00wrong
00:21:00one you guys pointed to the map that's where we want to go so murray what's the solution in this
00:21:06there's a big canyon a big gorge between you and hoof school jargon yeah that's not possible my
00:21:12solution is you need to backtrack about half the way that you've come and then continue further further
00:21:18the wind from there oh no blocking their path a 20 meter deep 100 kilometer long canyon
00:21:30meaning a journey of just 100 kilometers as the crow flies is over 400 kilometers by road
00:21:39from your jargon left to the other jargon yeah further than you've already driven today
00:21:44i don't think you'll make it today okay it's not safe to go at night time we are really stuck
00:21:51there's always a risk coming this way and it has turned out to be exactly what it was a risk
00:21:56crushing at the moment but what can you do just have to take it and take it in the chin
00:22:04i'm trying to work out where's a good place to go to to keep going yeah we could go to
00:22:10corgo for a
00:22:11homestay help out on a farm and then move on tomorrow morning yeah we could yeah hello murray
00:22:18where's corgo is that closer yes probably about a four hour drive okay that means cost an extra 20
00:22:24dollars on top of what you've already paid what do you want to do do you want to do that
00:22:28i think so we
00:22:29are in a race we need to keep going yeah unable to reach their intended jargalant today father and
00:22:37daughter plan to stop 160 kilometers short in horrock where they have found a homestay in the jobs
00:22:44directory okay that would be great could he be able to do that for us yep not ideal puts us
00:22:52behind on
00:22:52time what gets us on the move this morning woke up another chance of winning i don't know finishing
00:23:03would just be a great job you're all right kid you're all right i love you i love you
00:23:13chloe just watch your next all right come on we get in this car and get the corgol
00:23:19let me go i'll never make it
00:23:24hopefully get to this farm stay tonight before it gets dark
00:23:38i don't wonder down here yeah closing the gap katie and harrison have arrived in tetser leg
00:23:47i've not really wandered around mongolia the thing is if you do more than a five minute walk in mongolia
00:23:52you're suddenly in the middle of nowhere founded in the 17th century the city grew around the
00:24:01monastery built by influential monk and scholar zaya pandita love san prinley through his teachings
00:24:09tibetan buddhism took hold alongside the area's deep-rooted shamanic beliefs
00:24:16i think we need a hard-earned beer oh oh with plans to hitch a lift first thing in the
00:24:25morning
00:24:25oh bob katie oh god oh a chance for the siblings to enjoy a familiar pastime it is the strangest
00:24:35place
00:24:35i think i've ever had a beer cheers to us getting down or winning i'd love to sign that book
00:24:44first
00:24:45i actually can't imagine us not signing the book first i think for me the fact that a house
00:24:50deposit is on the line makes it a bit real better win then it's never been about the 10 grand
00:24:56for me
00:24:56i just want to say i've won it you've just got an ego crats i still think we should win
00:25:02yeah i didn't
00:25:03think we'd win turning up to the race no i thought we were going to get eliminated but now i
00:25:07think we've
00:25:08been the best races cheers to winning maybe is it pma a positive mental attitude as the sun sets mark
00:25:18and margot pull level with katie and harrison and tetser leg amazing wow we're here hey look
00:25:26there's some strange statue here it's like superwoman don't think that's a woman
00:25:42i'm feeling so nervous about this last leg every little mistake you make could cost you
00:25:4820 000 pounds in first place we've been wanting this win so bad and we've done everything for this
00:25:53win and it's like if we do get it it will be so rewarding imagine opening that book and seeing
00:25:59no names for the third time in a row that's a statement if i won 10k raise do you know
00:26:06what i'd
00:26:06do like i'd take my little brothers out they're getting burger and milkshakes they're getting
00:26:10whatever they want love me ma she's getting the finest pasta i'm dining that lady on the finest food
00:26:16we're renting out the entire restaurant we're taking out the restaurant here then it's getting
00:26:20a house if i could get my mom on the proxy ladder she'll have somewhere where she never ever has
00:26:26to
00:26:26worry about having to move i gave me mom some money and then i want to keep traveling i want
00:26:32to go
00:26:32cynical learn where i come from i guess you know i really want to win we've sacrificed so much we've
00:26:39gone through the stress we have come so far it's the last push we've got to put everything into this
00:26:46right i don't think i've mentally been able to do this without you doing this with me i love you
00:26:52though genuinely i'm hoping this is the last hotel we stay in yes let's have a look at the next
00:27:00move
00:27:01we need to keep as much money as we can we want some free accommodation yes exactly i'm thinking of
00:27:06like a home stay it takes time to get used to mongolia i think the the last leg was a
00:27:14very steep
00:27:15learning curve oh there's a girth day and that's not too far from horgo pre-bed for the night i
00:27:21like
00:27:21the idea yes i do yes mark and myself have really rolled the dice taking a chance by taking this
00:27:28route
00:27:28if we can hit some of the way we've done it before we can do it again yeah and whatever
00:27:32it takes exactly
00:27:33yes if we couldn't finish the race i would be devastated but i believe we are good racers we've
00:27:40come back after setbacks we've got a little bit of racing left in us there's no turning back no no
00:27:45absolutely no turning back
00:27:59you want the men yeah okay there having made it to their homestay in horrock last night
00:28:08they all know where they're going they all know they're over there
00:28:11andrew and molly are putting in a shift with yak herder inksum yarjab as payment for their bed and board
00:28:28situated in the tariat chulot volcanic field lies the now dormant volcano horrock meaning shelter
00:28:38local legend says noble outlaws used the crater as a secret hideout after ambushing travelers
00:28:45they would meet in the shadows of the volcanic stone to divide their spoils
00:28:52are you gonna look apart yeah look
00:28:59the view is stunning the view is absolutely stunning the mountains are beautiful
00:29:04imagine we travel through all them yesterday don't still too soon

00:29:55glum today look we made a mistake at the very very end but you know something during this trip molly
00:30:04every call that you've made you have made work yesterday my thought process was how are we going
00:30:10to get out of this and we did just proves to you that you're capable of doing it and the
00:30:14consequence
00:30:15is that we are here here in this beautiful spot this whole race taught me so much about myself about
00:30:26daddy about our relationship i'm so proud of you i am you've achieved at everything you've done
00:30:33i can be independent i can make decisions but i think this is the first time he's seen me in
00:30:39those
00:30:39kind of moments i'm not expecting you now to be the little child i'm also expecting you to kind of
00:30:46come back with a retort yeah if i'm talking nonsense and i think i also i'm more confident in turning
00:30:52around to you and being a daddy your own i would have held you the wee baby you were so
00:30:57helpless now
00:30:58you're fit for the world i'm so happy to call them at me and say that you're fit for the

00:31:48following the same route thank you you've been so helpful yeah thank you so so much we could have
00:31:55been stuck in sets like all day katie and harrison have made up ground with a 220 kilometer free ride
00:32:04without this lift our chances would have been squished but if we can't get a lift to shineder
00:32:09then we're out of the race the siblings are aiming for a rural village in the next province

00:35:14look like a strong powerful woman with my your hammer hammer
00:35:20so we've got a moment for ourselves let's go and look at the lake it's so beautiful
00:35:26lying to the west of the horrock volcano
00:35:31tigan taga nor meaning the great white lake
00:35:36created after horrocks eruption thousands of years ago black basalt rocks still pepper its shores
00:35:44evidence of the torrents of lava which spewed from its crater blocking the turk river and forming the
00:35:51freshwater lake look at that wow that is impressive i want to throw a big rock into the
00:35:58lungs of the ice to see how thick it is i'll throw you into the ice
00:36:06that is solid absolutely solid wow now we've established that
00:36:13that's beautiful isn't it absolutely incredible this is nature isn't it it's just spectacular
00:36:19this is one of your highlights of the race i think it is yeah and we've had quite a few
00:36:24of those
00:36:24moments haven't we we have and i think it has changed my life i think it has been a profound
00:36:30change
00:36:33in me and the way i'm going to live my life what's been so good is i've not just got
00:36:37to know you
00:36:38it's like you've got to know you and i just get the idea that you know the new you it's
00:36:44not going
00:36:45any stopping you is there's no stopping you no i'm planning my future already yeah
00:36:51i've still got years left in me to do things that i want to do and push myself this has
00:36:58made
00:36:59me realize to do things spontaneously and not be anxious or worried about doing those things
00:37:05for me i've realized i'd have to carve out time and space to create a future for myself
00:37:13julia would want you to do that yeah as the race has gone on we really understand each other
00:37:21there's just more space to be ourselves i think our relationship has changed it has it has changed
00:37:27yeah i think we are we are we are better friends i think now yeah both of us have grown
00:37:32and we've seen
00:37:32each other pushing ourselves and we see the true value in each other what do you think julia would
00:37:39say if she could see us oh she'd be very pleased she'd be very very pleased wouldn't she yeah she
00:37:45would she wouldn't be able to believe that her wish had come true in such an incredible way yeah
00:37:51after we lost julia i did grieve and i did feel it deeply but on the race i have moved
00:38:00further on
00:38:01and thinking about julia but in a less emotional way more in a like a more of a joyful way
00:38:08that's not forgetting her but it's
00:38:13in a sense
00:38:17it's a letting go it's a letting go
00:38:39over 160 kilometers ahead he's going to take us to jargon i thought i was done with that word jargon
00:38:46at least this time we're the right side of the gorge andrew and molly's path north has taken them
00:38:51to the correct jargon land where tracks continue on to hat gal
00:39:00hi hi can we book a taxi for tomorrow morning to hat gal it's getting dark and we have been

00:40:53Whoa!
00:40:55That's a lot of money.
00:41:00We only have a very...
00:41:02A small amount of money. We don't have much money.
00:41:04Yeah, we have to get...
00:41:07We have to get all the way to Hatgal.
00:41:13Paying for the pricey taxi would leave the in-laws
00:41:16with just 2% of their budget remaining.
00:41:19And still, over 200km to go,
00:41:22to reach the finish line.
00:41:24That taxi's a bit of a shock.
00:41:26Absolute budget slayer.
00:41:28How many dollars is that we're paying?
00:41:29$120. But we have to do it.
00:41:32We've got to get out of here.
00:41:34Do you know how much we've got left?
00:41:35After the taxi, we've got about $80 left.
00:41:38Oh, yeah.
00:41:39In this country, it's not much.
00:41:41OK.
00:41:43If me and Mark didn't finish the race,
00:41:45I would be really devastated
00:41:48because we've done everything we can.
00:41:51We've tried so, so hard.
00:41:55Do you think we can get to the end?
00:42:02I don't know.
00:42:04Being here could cost us a race.
00:42:06Tax to get out of here is 40% of our budget.
00:42:09We've still got a few hundred kilometres to go.
00:42:12Some of it across open wilderness.
00:42:15So, you know, we'll just see how it goes from tomorrow.
00:42:20How far we can get to Hatgal, I don't know.
00:42:22We'll see you next time.
00:42:23We'll see you next time.
00:42:51Mongolia, the sacred Lake Hofskoll, ringed by dense taiga forests, roamed by wolves, snow
00:43:00leopards and brown bears. On its southern shore, a single foothold of civilisation, Hatgal
00:43:09and the finish line.
00:43:17Rocking up. It's the final in this. It's so cool.
00:43:23This hour is rapid. We're just cutting it down a mountain.
00:43:27Now I feel like I'm racing. Yeah. Oh my god. This is mint.
00:43:33We are so close, I'm sorry. Touch wood.
00:43:38Three teams are closing in.
00:43:41Oh my goodness, I'm so excited.
00:43:43Oh my god.
00:43:45I want to be cold so it'll make me run faster. So I get warm.
00:43:49Stealing themselves for the final sprint.
00:43:52This is it. How's it all coming to an end? How's it all finished?
00:44:00I really want to get to Hatgal. I want to sign in that book.
00:44:04So do I.
00:44:05400 kilometres behind.
00:44:08I just really hope we can do it there Mark.
00:44:11Mark and Margo are racing to the mountain outpost of Shinny Dare.
00:44:15From there, they still have to find a way to Hatgal.
00:44:19Wow.
00:44:20Where we going now is in the middle of nowhere.
00:44:23It's going to be a lucky break to find somebody going the right direction.
00:44:27But, stranger things have happened. We're going to get everything we've got.
00:44:29Who knows, yeah.
00:44:58Who knows, yeah.
00:44:59You're not desperate.
00:45:01I am.
00:45:01You're just nervous.
00:45:02I'm ready to go.
00:45:03I've seen some yellow snow on the way.
00:45:06I can't believe we've made it.
00:45:08We're here.
00:45:09No matter what, we're here.
00:45:12God, what a journey.
00:45:14I can't believe how snowy it is.
00:45:17Let's do this.
00:45:18What are we waiting for?
00:45:20Bye, lad.
00:45:21Right, kid.
00:45:22You're ready to go.
00:45:26Let's do this.
00:45:27Okay.
00:45:28Found a lift and head off-road to locate the Ovu at the top of Sahirul Hill.
00:45:33So we need to find a lift.
00:45:35All right.
00:45:38Let's just go by the road, lad.
00:45:40There's somebody in a Land Rover.
00:45:42Sahirul Hill.
00:45:42There is Sahirul.
00:45:47I'll go on the other side.
00:45:49Oh, shit.
00:45:51We are in a race.
00:45:53Would you give us a lift?
00:45:54Please.
00:45:55Please.
00:45:58Can you drive to Sahirul?
00:46:00Now?
00:46:01Yeah, now.
00:46:01Yeah, okay.
00:46:01Can we come in?
00:46:02Shall I plan a taxi?
00:46:03Yeah.
00:46:03Can you drive to Sahirul?
00:46:03Hello.
00:46:04We are in a race.
00:46:05Go, go, go.
00:46:07Oh, is Sahirul up there?
00:46:08All right, kid.
00:46:10I'm gonna cling on to the hope that Molly and Andrew didn't make it yesterday.
00:46:14I can still see an empty before my head.
00:46:16It's just how my brain works.
00:46:18Racing?
00:46:19Yes, we're racing.
00:46:21As quick as you can do it.
00:46:22As we say at home, keep it between the ditches.
00:46:25We need to go to the top.
00:46:27Can you drive to the top?
00:46:28It's trial.
00:46:29Yeah, we'll try.
00:46:30Oh!
00:46:32We're here.
00:46:33Is this the hill?
00:46:35Is that who?
00:46:36Is this here?
00:46:37Can we go to the top?
00:46:41Just translate.
00:46:43I understand, but I can't go because my car is a small car.
00:46:47I can't.
00:46:49Okay.
00:46:51We need to get out now.
00:46:52Yeah.
00:46:53It's a pretty hefty walk.
00:46:56Oh, my God.
00:46:56It's a pretty hefty walk.
00:46:59Oh, my God.
00:47:00It's close.
00:47:01It's always struggling.
00:47:02Oh, no.
00:47:02The car can't do it.
00:47:04Ooh.
00:47:05Yeah.
00:47:05Oh, my God.
00:47:05It's great.
00:47:05My shot's ready.
00:47:07Oh, it's horrible.
00:47:09It's got that, Katie, on the right.
00:47:11Run up a mountain.
00:47:12We're so stiffy.
00:47:13This is not the most efficient way, but you can't drive us.
00:47:16I think we're wasting time.
00:47:19Oh, Jesus.
00:47:20Now we're a greedy off-road.
00:47:22Wow.
00:47:23Oh, she's slipping.
00:47:24It's like, oh, my God.
00:47:25Oh, my God.
00:47:26Good job we're not walking, huh?
00:47:31I think it would have been worth the time searching for a 4x4.
00:47:35Where?
00:47:36Where?
00:47:39OK.
00:47:41There's a monument up there.
00:47:43It's so slippy.
00:47:44Keep running.
00:47:45I'm coming.
00:47:47Oh, my God.
00:47:48Let me drop this bag.
00:47:49Oh, my days.
00:47:52Can I be honest?
00:47:56That must be the oval.
00:47:57Oh.
00:47:58Oh, God.
00:47:58Right.
00:48:00Oh, look at that view, Molly.
00:48:03Look at that.
00:48:04That is amazing.
00:48:06OMG.
00:48:10Last push up.
00:48:13This guy's right there.
00:48:15Yeah.
00:48:16There's much beer.
00:48:16It's the only thing at the top of this hill.
00:48:18Yeah.
00:48:19There's my bag.
00:48:25Right, Molly, kid.
00:48:26Come on.
00:48:26Let's go.
00:48:28Head through the forest.
00:48:30To Lake Koskvall.
00:48:33To that.
00:48:34I'll locate Sukhbata to receive further instructions.
00:48:39Sukhbata, the only ship in the Mongolian Navy, stationed 2,000 kilometers from the nearest coastline.
00:48:48This is the lake.
00:48:49So, let's just...
00:48:50As you step south.
00:48:51You grab your bag, you're gonna leave it, yeah?
00:48:52I'm leaving it.
00:48:52You leave it at the top.
00:48:54So, that's the forest.
00:48:55That's the lake.
00:48:55That must be down to the pier.
00:48:57Sukhbata.
00:48:57Maybe like that port.
00:48:59Yeah, I reckon it's the port.
00:49:00Whoa!
00:49:01Ah!
00:49:04I can't stop.
00:49:05Whoa!
00:49:09No!
00:49:13Whoa!
00:49:13Huh?
00:49:14Huh?
00:49:18Ha ha ha!
00:49:19Why are you galloping?
00:49:20Ha ha ha!
00:49:21Ha ha ha!
00:49:22Ha ha ha!
00:49:23These are the running of your bloody backpack.
00:49:26Well, this is effective.
00:49:27Katie, what are you doing?
00:49:29It's no word, man.
00:49:31Oh, fuck it.
00:49:35Oh, my Jesus, my God.
00:49:38Oh, my Jesus, my God.
00:49:38Keep going! Keep going!
00:49:41I'm coming to you!
00:49:43Whoa! That's it!
00:49:49Scoot back to her.
00:49:51Wonder is that the boat?
00:49:55Supertar.
00:49:57Supertar.
00:49:59Supertar.
00:50:00Is it a boat, lad?
00:50:01These boats look abandoned.
00:50:04Let's just follow the lake a bit.
00:50:06You sure? Yeah.
00:50:09I think that's a boat.
00:50:11Yes.
00:50:11I'm going to take a chance on it.
00:50:13Let's get through here.
00:50:18Oh, my God!
00:50:20Her boat is called Supertar.
00:50:22Yeah, Daddy, that's in here!
00:50:23This must be it, Molly.
00:50:25Take a vehicle to Camp Ashey High
00:50:27and proceed along the Spit to sign in at the finish line.
00:50:30OK.
00:50:31This spit is a long finger on land, Molly.
00:50:35Break it. I need to find a car.
00:50:37I have no clue.
00:50:39The only thing I can see is...
00:50:41I think it's the boat.
00:50:43Just check before we leave.
00:50:45Oh, you're having a joke.
00:50:46We're wasting time, you know.
00:50:48Hello!
00:50:48Would you be able to drive me somewhere?
00:50:50Yes, I have.
00:50:51Yes.
00:50:53Are you?
00:50:53Hi!
00:50:56There it is.
00:50:57There it is.
00:50:58How are you, lad?
00:50:59What a four's.
00:51:01This is it, Molly.
00:51:02This is it.
00:51:03This is it.
00:51:04Look at this.
00:51:05My God, this is beautiful, isn't it?
00:51:06Can you drive?
00:51:09It's easy.
00:51:09It's easy.
00:51:09Bye.
00:51:10Sick.
00:51:11I hope we're first.
00:51:12I really hope we're first.
00:51:13Because we couldn't have moved any faster.
00:51:15We've not seen any team since arriving here, so we have no idea if we're first, second,
00:51:19third or fourth.
00:51:21This is it.
00:51:21This is eight weeks in the making.
00:51:23This is Palermo, Viscardo, Istanbul, Georgia, everything, everywhere we've been to police
00:51:28is just all in one for this moment.
00:51:31You all right?
00:51:32Yeah, I'll be fine, man.
00:51:34Ready to go.
00:51:34Let's go.
00:51:42Let's go.
00:51:43Let's go.
00:51:45You ready?
00:51:47Do I need the bikes here?
00:51:48Yeah, here.
00:51:49Let's go.
00:51:51That is a fit, isn't it?
00:51:52Yeah.
00:51:53Final sprint.
00:51:54Let's go.
00:51:55Molly, keep her going.
00:51:56Oh, Molly, come on, kiddo.
00:51:59Keep going, Casey.
00:51:59Well done.
00:52:00Oh, my God.
00:52:02Not far to go.
00:52:05I don't like these footprints in the snow.
00:52:10Is that Andrew and Molly?
00:52:11Don't say it is.
00:52:14Come on, kid.
00:52:16All right, see you, Molly.
00:52:21Let's go.
00:52:22Let's go.
00:52:24I see you, Katie.
00:52:25I'm coming.
00:52:27Molly, we've done it.
00:52:29Oh.
00:52:30This is it, bro.
00:52:35I love you.
00:52:36I love you.
00:52:38Together.
00:52:38Come on.
00:52:39We've done it all the way together.
00:52:41Finish together.
00:52:42Yeah, come here.
00:52:45Come here.
00:52:47I feel sick.
00:52:48I feel sick.
00:52:53Congratulations.
00:52:54Oh, my days.
00:52:55You've successfully reached the finish line.
00:52:57Please sign and no relief.
00:52:59I'm fine if you won the race.
00:53:00I'm fine if you won the race.
00:53:00I'm fine.
00:53:01I'm 23rd.
00:53:04No.
00:53:05I don't want to turn it over.
00:53:07I don't want to do it, lad.
00:53:08This is actually a sort of joke.
00:53:11All right.
00:53:12You ready?
00:53:15Oh, bro.
00:53:16Just do it.
00:53:19Three, two, one.
00:53:23Oh, my God.
00:53:24Oh, my God.
00:53:25Oh, my God.
00:53:26Oh, my God.
00:53:27Oh, my God.
00:53:28Oh, my God.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:32Oh, my God.
00:53:36Yeah.
00:53:37Yeah.
00:53:37I can't put it into words, bro.
00:53:39Oh, my God.
00:53:43That's how I feel, bro.
00:53:45We've done it, bro.
00:53:46We've done it.
00:53:47The dream from the start was opening the final book
00:53:50and seeing it empty.
00:53:53When it actually happened and it's hard to get my head around it,
00:53:56you know?
00:53:57Oh, my God.
00:53:57You're actually, bro.
00:53:58And I hope we did Liverpool for us.
00:54:00Big old Scouts.
00:54:01First win for Liverpool.
00:54:02That's what I saw from us.
00:54:05We're second.
00:54:07We're second.
00:54:13Fair play to the boys.
00:54:15Yeah.
00:54:15Congratulations to the boys.
00:54:16We had a tough final leg.
00:54:18Going to the wrong Jargaland is the reason we're second.
00:54:21But it is, it is.
00:54:23What time is it?
00:54:241.27.
00:54:26We're three hours behind the lads.
00:54:28What an achievement.
00:54:30I didn't actually physically think we were going to make it.
00:54:32Oh, we did it.
00:54:39Well done on the finish line.
00:54:41Now the rest.
00:54:46Third.
00:54:48We won.
00:54:49We caught up 18 hours.
00:54:51Pretty good going.
00:54:53We couldn't have done this any better, this leg.
00:54:55And we've made it to Hat Gal.
00:54:57We literally couldn't have done it any quicker.
00:54:59And we've done it together.
00:55:01Yeah.
00:55:02I could still just, like, cry with pride and joy that we're here.
00:55:06Yeah.
00:55:06Oh, I'm back in the snow.
00:55:09It's done.
00:55:10It's done.
00:55:12Oh, my God.
00:55:15Race you back to Italy?
00:55:17Yeah.
00:55:32Whoa!
00:55:34Whoa!
00:55:35Careful!
00:55:37His ass is over there.
00:55:39Oh, my God.
00:55:40Epic.
00:55:40Absolutely epic.
00:55:41Let's do it together, Mark.
00:55:43Mark, together.
00:55:45Wow.
00:55:48Okay, Margot.
00:55:49Yes.
00:55:50Congratulations.
00:55:51You have successfully reached the finish line.
00:55:54Please sign in, Overleaf, to find out if you've won the race.
00:55:56We haven't, we haven't.
00:55:57We haven't, okay.
00:55:58But let's see who has.
00:55:59Okay, one, two, three.
00:56:02Joe and Kush!
00:56:03Oh, well done, Joe and Kush!
00:56:05That is amazing, isn't it?
00:56:06A fun time.
00:56:07Well done, boys.
00:56:08Oh, we've done it, Margot.
00:56:1151.
00:56:12And...
00:56:12What is it?
00:56:1317?
00:56:141715?
00:56:16What an experience.
00:56:17What a journey.
00:56:18I couldn't do it without you, Mark.
00:56:19A true friend.
00:56:20It's been brilliant.
00:56:20A true friend.
00:56:21True friend.
00:56:22And Julie would be really proud of us, wouldn't she?
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:26We've said that one once, wouldn't she?
00:56:28I know, she would be.
00:56:30She's so proud.
00:56:30She would.
00:56:31Absolutely, yeah.
00:56:33I feel wonderful.
00:56:35A great achievement, isn't it?
00:56:37Brilliant.
00:56:37Absolutely thrilled.
00:56:39There are times when we didn't think we'd make it and we've made it and we are just so happy,
00:56:43aren't we?
00:56:43Yes.
00:56:44We haven't won the race, but we've won our race.
00:56:48And we've come in fashionably late.
00:56:53Here's to you, Julia, wherever you are.
00:56:55Yeah.
00:56:56Who inspired us.
00:56:57Who inspired us.
00:56:59Thank you, Julia.
00:57:00Yeah, thank you, Julia!
00:57:02She's laughing.
00:57:05She's saying, go and get yourself a drink.
00:57:06Oh, yes.
00:57:07You deserve it.
00:57:08You mad fools.
00:57:18Right, who wants a bowl of the local drink?
00:57:21Normally at home, a bowl of vodka would be considered unclassy.
00:57:26But it's local, so it's okay.
00:57:27Yeah.
00:57:29Hello!
00:57:30Here we are!
00:57:32We've arrived!
00:57:32Well done, boys.
00:57:34Well done.
00:57:35You both deserve it.
00:57:36You both deserve it.
00:57:37We're absolutely thrilled to have finished just to get to that finishing point.
00:57:44It's just been an amazing journey.
00:57:46It has.
00:57:46We have had magical times, haven't we?
00:57:48We have, yeah.
00:57:49We did the race to forge a friendship.
00:57:52And well done what we set out to achieve.
00:57:55It's been brilliant being with you on the race.
00:57:57You've kept me going.
00:57:59And that's what true friends do.
00:58:01It's not a given you get to happen now.
00:58:03The fact that we've all got here is insane.
00:58:05I'm sad.
00:58:06I could do this forever.
00:58:08We have just been on such an adventure of different places, cultures, people.
00:58:13The fact that we've travelled from boiling hot Italy through eight countries, it's so sick.
00:58:19Get in.
00:58:20We've definitely got closer.
00:58:22We can be more open with each other.
00:58:24Bursting with pride.
00:58:26I got one achievement.
00:58:27What a buzz.
00:58:27Amazing to finish it.
00:58:29Amazing to get here in this beautiful place.
00:58:30Such a journey.
00:58:31This is the hardest thing I've ever done.
00:58:34Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:58:35But it's also one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
00:58:38We're a good team and we worked hard.
00:58:41I always knew I was an overthinker, but now I can see that that isn't my benefit.
00:58:47She's well capable.
00:58:48So proud of her.
00:58:49And it's been amazing.
00:58:50It's been so fun.
00:58:52What about you boys coming first?
00:58:54So hard to explain this feeling.
00:58:55I'm actually gutted it's over now.
00:58:57That's so true.
00:58:58It's been unbelievable.
00:59:00Everywhere we've gone has made an impact on us and changed our perspective.
00:59:04Wow.
00:59:05It's been a test.
00:59:06We're just two Scouse kids.
00:59:08But I think this has proved we are more than capable.
00:59:11We've grown a lot.
00:59:12I think we've learned a lot.
00:59:13Because I've been exposed to so much.
00:59:16And having Joe there.
00:59:17Thank you so much for keeping me sane.
00:59:20Bro, I love you so much.
00:59:22Yeah, I'm a real one.
00:59:24Love you, bro.
00:59:26A big congratulations.
00:59:28A big well done.
00:59:29Well done, everybody.
00:59:30Well done, everybody.
00:59:31Congratulations.
00:59:31To the boys.
00:59:32To the boys.
00:59:34To the boys.
00:59:34To the boys.
00:59:35To the boys.
00:59:36To the boys.
00:59:36To the boys.
00:59:37Do you want more vodka?
00:59:38Yes, please.
00:59:39I'm on my second, so...
00:59:49I'm so excited to see them.
00:59:51TJ Rush now.
00:59:53Boop, boop, boop, boop.
00:59:54The gloves are off.
00:59:56You said from the first, we're seriously to win it.
00:59:58But quite quickly, you were like, zeep.
01:00:00The amount of people needed to get 10 idiots to race across the world is insane.
01:00:04Woo-hoo!
01:00:05As soon as they're 10 minutes away, then we're at action stations.
01:00:08We need to get everyone in position.
01:00:11It tells everything's fine.
01:00:12I'll be happy rolling.
01:00:13You can just do whatever you want.
01:00:15Hot your phone down and actually listen to people.
01:00:18I've got a question for everyone.
01:00:20Would you do it again?
