00:13We're in the middle of nowhere. I have no idea how we're getting out of this place.
00:19This is seriously the single most challenging thing I think I've ever experienced.
00:25It's almost unbelievable.
00:29I thought this would be so much easier.
00:31Yeah, this is a bit like hell.
00:36Oh my gosh. I don't like this, but we have to keep going somehow.
00:42What's that?
00:44Let's go.
00:47That can't go any faster.
00:50I'm really not made for this.
00:53Keep going. Let's go.
00:56Oh!
01:00God help us.
01:15In the early 14th century, an Italian friar named Oduric, voyaging to China, caught sight of a verdant jewel on
01:25the horizon.
01:27Rising from the ocean, an imposing tropical island, yet to be marked on his map.
01:35Borneo, a land of prehistoric rainforests, bursting with extraordinary life.
01:46Some creatures found here exist nowhere else on Earth.
01:51And ancient cultures thrive in a rich mosaic of landscapes.
02:00And in the north-west corner, the vibrant city, Kuching.
02:11Named after the Malay word for cat, a symbol of luck in this urban outpost, which for four teams of
02:19would-be adventurers, is a gateway to the unknown.
02:24What are you feeling, mate? What's going through your mind?
02:25I'm buzzing, to be fair, but I am a bit anxious.
02:28Approaching from a western suburb, singer-songwriter and Eurovision star Sam Ryder, and his best mate and tour manager, Kaz.
02:36Have you got your passport back there?
02:40Nah.
02:42I'm so used to you, haven't I?
02:44We met in 2013, two kids touring in vans.
02:49We just got on like a house on fire straight away.
02:51I've just been stuck for years.
02:55I reckon we can smash this.
02:56Think about the places we've slept over the years on tour.
02:59So we're going to end up sleeping in places like that?
03:01Well, that looks quite sustainable because there's actual fruit trees growing in the back of it.
03:08Oh my gosh, what are we doing?
03:10Don't know.
03:11Voyaging up the Serawak River, recording artist Junior Andre and his sister, influencer Princess.
03:18We're now with Malaysia.
03:19Malaysia. I'm getting confused between Malaysia and Malicious.
03:23Malicious is not a country.
03:25What?
03:26Malicious! Malicious is a country.
03:29Yeah, that's what I meant.
03:31Our mum is Katie Price and our dad is Peter Andre.
03:36Everything we do, we get compared to our parents.
03:39But like, we actually have our own thing that we do.
03:41So, we've kind of got a lot to prove.
03:44I'm glad I'm here with you.
03:45I'm so excited for this. I cannot wait to do this.
03:48We need to win.
03:49We're going to win.
03:50We're going to win.
03:52Oh my gosh.
03:54I'm already excited to eat.
03:57Wow, this is so scenic.
03:59The third team to join the race.
04:01Brett award-winning singer-songwriter Ella Eyre and childhood friend Nana.
04:06We met at school over 20 years ago.
04:09We never got to do a gap year.
04:11Now it's our time to have that fun.
04:13There really isn't that many people I could spend six weeks solidly with and still be able to laugh my
04:19head off.
04:19I'm going to make a good team.
04:21I fear for our competitors.
04:23Do you?
04:23Yeah, I do.
04:26As long as you do what you're told, it'll be okay.
04:29Completing the line-up, veteran sports broadcaster Geoff Stelling and his son Matt.
04:36I think most people would know me for Soccer Saturday.
04:38Work's been a massive part of my life.
04:40The bad side of it is I'm sort of an absentee dad at times.
04:43Wow. Feel that heat, Matt?
04:45Yeah.
04:46Now, you know, I don't have quite the demands that I used to have, so it's perfect timing, isn't it?
04:51It's all aligned.
04:52In my time in hostels, I have to say I didn't see a single backpacker in their 70s.
04:58My experience, your youth.
05:00Ah, what better combination could you have?
05:05Let's figure out where we are, what we're doing.
05:09I don't know where we're going from here.
05:11No, neither.
05:12We've got our first GPS, pal.
05:16Let's have a look.
05:17Wow.
05:18Oh, my God, it's coming!
05:19Let's see what it says.
05:21Oh, my gosh, this is so exciting.
05:23Welcome to Borneo.
05:24Your final destination is...
05:27No way.
05:28Oh, my God!
05:29Your final destination is Melbourne, Australia!
05:34We're going to Australia.
05:36Let's see our grandma, our granddad.
05:38Look at how we're meant to get to Australia!
05:417,500 kilometres away, on the southern tip of the Earth's only single country continent, Melbourne, Australia.
05:50That's completely threw me off.
05:52OK.
05:53Wait, wait.
05:54How is that possible?
05:56That's going to take, like, a year.
05:57To get there, teams must race through five checkpoints, but must check in at one to learn the location of
06:04the next.
06:06Navigating one of the last wild frontiers on the planet, crossing seas and different zoological realms, and the vast, untamed
06:18beauty of Australia, and a demanding adventure across the southern hemisphere to the finish line.
06:29Have you ever been Melbourne?
06:30Never been to Australia.
06:31Have you?
06:31And we both hate snakes. There's tons of them. They love snakes.
06:33Oh, yes!
06:34I've just got another message.
06:35I'm actually in shock right now.
06:36I've just got another...
06:38What?
06:38Your map, budget, and destination of the first checkpoint await.
06:44Find harmony art.
06:49And collect your race kit from the closest vantage point.
06:59The race starts now.
07:01What?
07:03The race starts now!
07:05No way.
07:06Oh, my gosh!
07:07OK.
07:08Harmony art.
07:09Right, come on, princess.
07:10Let's breathe.
07:11Let's just breathe.
07:12Let's just breathe.
07:13Let's go.
07:14The race has actually started now.
07:15It is.
07:16Really?
07:19Let's run. Let's go.
07:20We need to get a good head start.
07:22Without meeting the rivals, the race has begun.
07:25Come on, up your pace a little bit.
07:27No, I can't go any faster than this.
07:29Yeah, 71.
07:31I don't feel 71.
07:32But there are things I can't do anymore, you know?
07:34And I can't, for instance, sprint with a backpack.
07:38My worry is if we've got that message and so have the others.
07:40Yeah, I know.
07:41I agree.
07:41I agree.
07:42But Steady wins the race, mate.
07:45Oh, no.
07:47I'm roasting.
07:49Do you know Harmony Arch?
07:50Yeah. Thank you.
07:52Legend.
07:52We don't often get to spend this amount of time together away from work.
07:56Doing the race is going to give us that time and reignite the stupidity that we used to have together.
08:01Mate, I didn't expect the race to start like that.
08:03No, absolutely not.
08:05Oh, there's cats everywhere. I love it.
08:07Ella, focus on the prize.
08:10But keep your eyes peeled, okay?
08:12I am keeping my eyes peeled.
08:13Okay, good.
08:13We're both very competitive.
08:15Preserve energy.
08:16No, we're racing, people. What do you mean?
08:18The race starts now.
08:20To win, my heart feels racy now with the thought of that moment.
08:26Do you know where the Harmony Arch is?
08:28First left.
08:29Thank you so much.
08:30Hang on.
08:31See backpacks.
08:32Yeah, yeah, don't see. I want to.
08:33Go down there.
08:34Is that it?
08:36Seriously, you're doing so well, right?
08:39Just get the map and the budget and that.
08:41God, this is spectacular, isn't it?
08:42Yeah.
08:43And it's also steep.
08:44That's got to be the competition over there, Dad, with the backpacks.
08:47Maybe.
08:48Oh, my gosh.
08:49Is that the other team?
08:50Yeah.
08:50No.
08:51Come on.
08:52No.
08:52At least we're not too far behind.
08:54We've got to run.
08:55They're right behind us.
08:57We've never backpacked.
08:59We've never hitchhiked.
09:00I thought this would be so much easier than it actually is.
09:03We have no experience in this whatsoever.
09:06At all.
09:08Harmony Arch?
09:10I don't know.
09:11No?
09:12Do you know it's not really looking good?
09:15I think we can do it.
09:17I'm confident that we can do it as long as we literally lock in.
09:20A place called Harmony Arch?
09:22We've got up the street.
09:23Fantastic.
09:24Thank you so much for help.
09:25Do you reckon that's where we need to go?
09:26The arch.
09:27Maybe that's the arch.
09:28Harmony Arch?
09:30Don't worry.
09:31Don't worry.
09:31Thank you so much.
09:32OK.
09:34Seriously.
09:35It's literally day one.
09:36OK.
09:36Come on.
09:37Let's cross.
09:38Oh, my God.
09:41Here it is.
09:42Kept from the closest vantage point.
09:44A vantage point.
09:44That means usually looking from high down.
09:49Could be that.
09:49That's the closest vantage point.
09:51OK.
09:52OK.
09:53OK.
09:53I think this is it.
09:58Oh, mate.
10:00Oh, my God.
10:01This is sick.
10:02This is wild.
10:06I think we're first.
10:07Oh, my God.
10:08Are we first?
10:09No way.
10:10Otherwise, this will be gone.
10:11Yeah, yeah.
10:12Yes.
10:12I mean, we're starting strong to try and keep that up.
10:16Mate, that is...
10:17No way.
10:18So good.
10:19Already stripped of their phones, wallets, and in possession of a GPS tracker, teams must
10:24make it to Melbourne with just a map, travel guide, and cash budget.
10:29You have currency equivalent to just under £840 each, mate.
10:34And it's expensive in Australia.
10:37Yeah.
10:37Equivalent to the cost of flying the route, they have a daily budget of just £26 per
10:43person.
10:44That's it.
10:45No spicy margaritas for you.
10:46No, none for a minute.
10:47Let's go.
10:49Amazing start.
10:49Absolutely.
10:50It's so cool.
10:52Oh, my God.
10:53It's Samaritan.
10:54We're literally seconds in front of you, man.
10:56No way.
10:57What the hell?
10:59OK.
11:00OK.
11:00Let's go.
11:00Let's go.
11:01You keep the bus warm for you.
11:02OK.
11:04You're sitting like a bad boy.
11:06Look at the view.
11:07Oh, my God.
11:08OK.
11:10Let's go second.
11:10That's amazing.
11:12We did so well.
11:13I know.
11:14What a start.
11:15Let's go, Al.
11:16Got a race to it.
11:18Harmony Arch.
11:20What?
11:20I don't get where the arch is.
11:23Oh!
11:25Thinking about advantage point, we're thinking about height.
11:27This is the tallest building around us.
11:28Let's go and have a look.
11:29Let's have a look.
11:30OK.
11:31You managing?
11:31Just about, yeah.
11:34Oh!
11:35Oh!
11:35Oh, my God.
11:36Whoa!
11:37That's amazing.
11:38So, not last.
11:39That's something.
11:40No.
11:41OK.
11:41Your first checkpoint.
11:43Pankalan Bun.
11:44Ever heard of it?
11:44No.
11:45Obviously not.
11:46OK.
11:46Let's go.
11:47I told you we weren't last.
11:49Obviously, I would rather we be first, but I don't think they can be too much further ahead
11:52than us.
11:52No, they can't be me.
11:56Woo!
11:56I cannot believe we were first.
11:58Game's on.
12:00Can you help me?
12:01I'm trying to find this place.
12:03Pankalan Bun?
12:03Yeah.
12:04Is it in Malaysia?
12:05Pankalan Bun.
12:06You've never heard of it?
12:08Pankalan Bun.
12:09Yeah.
12:10Yeah.
12:11It's in?
12:12Indonesia.
12:13Oh, my goodness.
12:15The island of Borneo, uniquely shared by three sovereign nations, Brunei and Malaysia
12:22to the north, and the vast green swathe of Indonesia dominating the south.
12:281,000 kilometres from Kuching lies the first checkpoint, Pankalan Bun.
12:36Straddling the bustling Arut River, it was once the capital of Sultan Imanuddin's Islamic
12:42Kingdom.
12:44Now home to a different kind of royalty, the legendary wildlife in Tanjung Puteng National
12:51Park.
12:54So you know where we are on the map, didn't you?
12:56Yes, we are in Kuching in Borneo.
12:59Beautiful place.
13:00That's amazing.
13:00All the same.
13:01I'm beat it.
13:02I am ready to go.
13:03We want to head south to Pankalan Bun.
13:06Easy, easy, mate.
13:07Yeah.
13:07Easy.
13:08Walking the park.
13:09The hottest park on the planet.
13:11To get to Pankalan Bun, the teams will need to enter Indonesian Borneo via one of two border
13:17crossings, reachable by evening if they can make a quick getaway.
13:23There seems to be bigger towns down the coast.
13:25There's actually writing on the map there, but inland there's not much.
13:29Yeah.
13:29Then they could travel south via the western coastal fringe, making use of fast roads and
13:36bigger transport hubs, as well as the maze of renowned waterways.
13:41Or choose a more direct route through the interior of the island, home to Borneo's traditional
13:47communities, but where dense jungle terrain means rough roads and sporadic transport.
13:54I like the idea of inland.
13:56Yeah.
13:57We're going to see a lot of sea and a lot of coast on this trip.
14:00We are.
14:00But we're not going to spend a lot of time on this island.
14:05I'd like to see some jungle, and we are two adventurous athletes.
14:09We are.
14:09Athletes is the key word there.
14:12Yeah.
14:13What do you reckon?
14:14Inland?
14:15Meow once for inland.
14:16Class.
14:17Inland it is.
14:18That's it.
14:19Let's head towards Batang Saranga.
14:22The inland route seems like right up myself and Sam Street, so getting out of here as
14:27soon as possible and getting that border crossed is the first thing on our list.
14:30Right.
14:30Let's go to bus station.
14:33We want to be in Indonesia like today.
14:36Yeah.
14:37It looks like you could go like straight down inland.
14:40Yeah.
14:41And so then we can maybe get a little bit of culture.
14:43Yeah.
14:43That's not a bad shout.
14:45The village homestay.
14:46Work with a traditional diet family.
14:48I think that sounds amazing.
14:50So we're going to go from Cushing straight down south.
14:54We want to get to Tayan tonight.
14:56Okie dokie.
14:57While Sam and Kaz are headed to Batang Tarang, Ella and Nana are aiming for nearby Tayan to immerse
15:04themselves in Borneo's indigenous culture.
15:07This is your responsibility.
15:08Ok.
15:10That I can handle.
15:11I don't know.
15:12I'm feeling good.
15:13Ok, we found it.
15:15Yes!
15:16Collect your race kit from the closest vantage point.
15:19Oh my gosh.
15:20Oh my gosh.
15:20Here we go again.
15:21Vantage point.
15:22I have no idea what a vantage point is.
15:25This is a nightmare.
15:26Where's our race kit?
15:31My guess is we've got to try and get out of Malaysia and head into this Indonesian side of Borneo
15:36as quickly as possible.
15:37Yeah.
15:37But this must be so remote.
15:39No, we don't want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere with no hotels, no facilities, nothing.
15:44No, that is true.
15:45But if you look here, look, there's almost a connection all the way through this mainland part of Indonesia.
15:49Yeah.
15:49As far as Pontianak.
15:50Looks by far the biggest town.
15:52Looks by far the biggest town.
15:53We've then potentially got connections via the water.
15:56River travel.
15:57Now that sounds fantastic to me.
15:59Doesn't it?
16:01The strategy is to get into the Indonesian side today, sort of as far along as possible early on.
16:06And I think being on the move, that feeling of we're actually getting somewhere, is going to be essential for
16:11us.
16:12Planning to cross the same border tonight, Geoff and Matt will then head west to the port city of Pontianak,
16:19where they hope they can switch to river transport.
16:22I think if we can get a taxi, we can get moving.
16:24Yeah, I do too.
16:25We would like to go to Kuching Central bus station.
16:28Oh, yeah, yeah.
16:29Yeah?
16:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:30Oh, wow.
16:33Go, go, go.
16:35This must be the vantage point.
16:37Yes!
16:38Woo!
16:39No, wait, what?
16:40Oh, no.
16:41Junior, we're last.
16:42Oh, my God.
16:44Are you serious?
16:45We need to get a move on, because the other teams are probably on a bus on the way there.
16:49Come.
16:50We need to go.
16:51This is not good, man.
16:52This is not good at all.
16:54We can do it.
16:55Don't stress.
16:58Hi.
16:59We're trying to get to Tayan's house.
17:02First, you must go to Sarian.
17:05Sarian.
17:07Sarian?
17:08Sarian.
17:08Wait, wait, wait.
17:10How much?
17:11Seven.
17:11Do we not think we're being a bit hasty?
17:13That guy said.
17:14Sarian, yeah.
17:15I think we still go.
17:17I just don't want to get stuck somewhere.
17:19I think fortune favors the brave.
17:22Okay, this is your call.
17:23Let's go.
17:24We didn't even buy snacks.
17:27No buses today?
17:29Yes.
17:30Tomorrow morning.
17:31Tomorrow morning.
17:32Okay.
17:32Thanks so much.
17:33Thanks so much for your help.
17:34Where's the cabs?
17:35How much would it cost to get a taxi to the border?
17:38One more beer, I get that.
17:40Okay.
17:41It's expensive.
17:42Any cheaper?
17:42Any cheaper?
17:43No.
17:44If we basically went to our homestay tonight, it could be a day ahead.
17:49Timing is tight, man.
17:50That border's going to close soon.
17:51Let's go, let's go, let's go.
17:52Let's go.
17:54The fastest you've ever driven to the border.
17:59There must be an alternative here.
18:00There must be.
18:01We're trying to go to Pontianac.
18:04Are there taxis by the border that you can get?
18:08I don't know, man.
18:09It's a massive risk, man.
18:10I just think we need to be moving.
18:12Who's to say what there is there?
18:13There might not even be a hotel.
18:14We might get left in the middle of nowhere.
18:17I think it's crazy.
18:18I'm going to suggest that we book some tickets to the first bus out, and then we'd trundle
18:24back into Kuching.
18:26Okay, fine.
18:27Let's book it.
18:27Let's book the bus tickets for tomorrow, then.
18:29You're not happy with it, though.
18:31Oh.
18:34It's just frustrating, isn't it?
18:35It's frustrating.
18:37Could we have two seats tomorrow morning to Pontianac?
18:39We are differing on what we're going to do at the moment, but the 8am coach, it takes us all
18:45of the way down to the place that we want to be.
18:47There's a lot of certainty in that.
18:50Wait, what?
18:51We've got to go the whole other side of Australia.
18:54We need to spend as least as possible right now.
18:56Let's see.
18:57Ooh, coconut harvest job.
18:58Camping under the stars.
19:00We'll do a morning shift.
19:01That's fine.
19:01And then we can just make a big, fast leap through the border all the way down to our
19:06checkpoint.
19:07Let's go, sis.
19:08Let's go get a move on.
19:11Opting to stay in Malaysia for a quick job, Princess and Junior are aiming northwest to
19:16the coastal town of Semetan.
19:19We need to get to Semetan.
19:21Is there a bus?
19:22No bus for Semetan.
19:23No bus?
19:24No bus.
19:24How do we get to Semetan?
19:26We take a taxi.
19:27Taxi?
19:29Is there nowhere else to Semetan from here?
19:31Use bau bus.
19:33Gucing to bau, you can go to Semetan.
19:35Are you always close to Semetan?
19:36Ah.
19:37Thank you, my friend.
19:37Thank you so much.
19:38Are you all right there?
19:39Waiting for time to pass by?
19:40I just don't know what else we're meant to do.
19:42Well, we need to get a move on.
19:45It's annoying because Junior's better at talking to people.
19:48He'll just go up to everyone and anyone to get help.
19:52And then when he's in the flow of it, I don't really want to interfere, so I'll kind
19:55of take a step back, but he probably feels like I'm not helping him.
19:58You just, you give up a bit easily.
20:00Bow?
20:01Bow?
20:03Is it trebakase or trebakase?
20:05Eh?
20:06To say thank you?
20:07Trebakase.
20:07Trebakase.
20:08It's like, you're not really independent.
20:11I've just turned 18.
20:12This is completely out of my comfort zone.
20:15If we compare one another, I was just more, way more independent from a young age.
20:20But you haven't necessarily experienced the full real world.
20:25That's what I'm trying to improve on, to have to be independent and have to have confidence
20:30in what I choose to do.
20:31But this will be a shock to my system, I think.
20:35So she just pressed the stop button when she needed to start.
20:38So is that what we need to do?
20:40You've never been on a bus?
20:41I have been on a bus once.
20:50Wow.
20:51Teberdoo, two and a half kilometres.
20:53To the south, Ella and Nana are the first team to reach the border crossing separating
20:58Malaysia and Indonesia.
21:03Hello, Teberdoo.
21:05You like me?
21:06Not bad.
21:07I just don't need to see Sam again.
21:10Here we are.
21:11No way.
21:12It's Ella.
21:13Huh?
21:14It's Ella.
21:14Oh my goodness.
21:17No way!
21:19They got a taxi though.
21:20They got a taxi.
21:22I'm livid.
21:23There you go, my friend.
21:24Thank you very much.
21:25Thank you very much.
21:26Take care.
21:26Drive safe, OK?
21:27Thanks, mate.
21:28How did they do that?
21:30That is so annoying.
21:31But we definitely spent less than them and we got to the same point at the same time.
21:35So, yeah.
21:36I'm not going to listen to any of Sam Ryder's music ever.
21:41Furious.
21:44Indonesia.
21:46You've made it.
21:47Day one.
21:48Good start.
21:49Now where?
21:50Because what even is this?
21:54Indonesian Borneo.
21:56Known as Kalimantan.
21:57A sparsely settled region covered in expansive wilderness and marshy coastal plains.
22:05With less transport infrastructure than Malaysia to the north and with little English spoken
22:11outside the big cities, for inexperienced travellers it can be a challenge.
22:17Is there a bus?
22:18No bus.
22:19No bus.
22:19It's looking like a taxi situation.
22:21It's feeling significantly different to Malaysia.
22:24Looks absolutely deserted.
22:27Hello.
22:28We look for taxi.
22:30To Batang Tarang.
22:32How much?
22:33$80.
22:34More than we were planning on paying, but I think we need to get moving.
22:36Yeah, let's go.
22:40I can't believe we're back here.
22:44Hunkering down at the starting line in Kuching.
22:47Here we are about to have some nice Malaysian food and we've got a beer.
22:51We could easily have been standing by the side of a motorway with our thumbs out in sweltering heat.
22:57In Indonesia.
22:59We've spent 75 ringgis on taxis to go nowhere.
23:03It's the first day.
23:05Let's play safe.
23:06There's playing safe.
23:06There's ending up in the same place that you started in.
23:08And I feel like we weren't brave today.
23:10Be positive, Max.
23:12Be positive.
23:24The smell.
23:25That is some serious mould.
23:28260 kilometres to the south, Ella and Nana.
23:31This is not the honeymoon suite.
23:33This is it.
23:33This is our gap year experience.
23:35This is what we came here for.
23:36This is what you missed out on all those years ago.
23:40It doesn't feel jungly.
23:42Just north, Sam and Kaz.
23:45We're going to have to now try and find somewhere to stay.
23:49It should be easy round here.
23:50It doesn't need to be a hotel.
23:52I'd literally sleep on their floor and I know they'll be honest.
23:54That bench looks quite good.
23:55You let her sleep on your floor?
23:57Lay down.
23:58On the floor.
23:59Is it OK?
24:00Really?
24:01Wow, that was easy.
24:06Oh, that's perfect.
24:07Class.
24:07Yes.
24:08It's here.
24:13It's so hot in this garage, but I've definitely slept in wash.
24:17Yeah.
24:21OK.
24:23I take you to the camp.
24:24Any stars?
24:25Oh, yes.
24:25A few up there.
24:26Beyond Semetan and Mount Kauai, Princess and Junior have reached their job.
24:31Ah, you're OK Miss here.
24:33It's got actual tents.
24:34It's got actual tents.
24:35I saw you at the shower.
24:36At Mr. Leanne's Coconut Farm.
24:38Oh, hey.
24:40Is the shower warm?
24:41No.
24:42We don't have the heater.
24:43It's cold.
24:43This is from the mountain stream.
24:46Yeah.
24:47Oh, that's refreshing.
24:49Mountain water.
24:49Mountain water stream.
24:51With bird sounds.
24:53That's right.
24:53Silent sounds of nature.
24:55That's healing.
24:57OK.
24:59Oh, wow.
24:59Toilets are very open.
25:00You have tissue?
25:02No, no.
25:03No.
25:04So that's to wipe?
25:05Yes.
25:05Ah.
25:06OK.
25:07OK, yeah.
25:07Interesting, yeah.
25:09Feeling very squeamish.
25:12See it?
25:12Yeah.
25:12I don't really like spiders.
25:14No.
25:15I can't do spiders.
25:16I can't do spiders or mosquitoes.
25:18And I feel like we're in a spider mosquito infested place.
25:21No, don't say spider, please.
25:26OK.
25:26Take a breather.
25:29And relax.
25:31What's that?
25:32How am I going to sleep in this?
25:43Here we are again.
25:44Might get some noodles or something, to be honest.
25:46I'll have a white coffee, pal.
25:48You're not going to get any food?
25:49Whoa.
25:49Is that chicken?
25:50Chicken.
25:51Daybreak and finally making moves.
25:54It's gorgeous.
25:55Jeff and Matt are setting off from Kuching for the border.
25:58Sight set on the port city of Pontianac.
26:01Feeling better?
26:02Yeah.
26:03I am very pleased to see the back of Kuching.
26:06We need Pontianac to be the transport hub we hope.
26:09We be.
26:09Yeah.
26:11Hello, Miss Leanne.
26:12Good morning.
26:13Are you ready for the day?
26:14I'm ready.
26:15Oh, we're ready.
26:15All right.
26:15Great.
26:16We have to work hard.
26:17We'll work hard.
26:19135 kilometres north, Princess and Junior are starting their shift at Mr. Leanne's coconut
26:25farm, paying back last night's bed and board.
26:29You will carry this.
26:30Oh, wow.
26:31For you to bring down the coconuts, eh?
26:32Okay.
26:33Careful.
26:34That is sharp.
26:35Let's go.
26:36Wow.
26:37I've got dangerous weapons on me.
26:38Can you put it down?
26:39It's a bit scary.
26:40Yeah.
26:42Sandwaged between the green slopes of Mount Kauai and the South China Sea, Mr. Leanne's
26:48lush palms flourish in the tropical climate and high humidity.
26:53Now, that sounds very old.
26:58This is good for consumption.
27:01Oh.
27:01There you are.
27:02Oh.
27:03Prized for their sweet, nutty flavour, Panda and dwarf coconuts fetch a premium, but only
27:09if picked at the perfect ripeness.
27:11Yes.
27:12Fantastic.
27:13Oh, yeah.
27:13Come on.
27:15Junior.
27:16Yes.
27:16I put it on you.
27:17Yay.
27:18There you are.
27:19Be very careful, eh?
27:20Be very careful.
27:21How many coconuts do you want, Mr. Leanne?
27:23Another 30 coconuts, yeah?
27:25Okay.
27:25And your job is to bring this to the roadside, eh?
27:28Okay.
27:28Okay, I'm leaving you two now.
27:30At least in about an hour.
27:32Don't waste my coconut, though.
27:33I won't.
27:35Let's just try to get as many as we can for him.
27:37Yeah.
27:37Try to get more than 30.
27:40Is it hard?
27:41Do you know what?
27:41I don't mind it.
27:42And actually, as jobs go, it's definitely one of the better ones.
27:45Yeah.
27:45You feel good at this?
27:47I'm absolutely loving this.
27:50Growing up in a public eye, I'm used to people prejudging me and stereotyping how I'm going
27:56to be.
27:56Oh, my God.
27:57They're so heavy.
27:58People assume that I'm just living off Mummy and Daddy's money, but I'm not going
28:04to take money from my parents.
28:05That's just not me.
28:06There's one there, one there.
28:08Gonna get these down.
28:11I released my first single at 17.
28:15And I got a big chunk of money come in for my music.
28:18And I blew it all.
28:20Are you sure these are right?
28:21I think so.
28:22Yeah.
28:23So, I had to go get a job.
28:25I worked at the London Underground on the Piccadilly line, 10pm to 6am.
28:30Oh!
28:31And that was intense.
28:32I was doing wiring.
28:33I was carrying heavy materials, basically doing just loads of manual labour stuff.
28:38Junior, I just checked that bunch of coconut and I opened it and it's too young.
28:43I cannot use this one, eh?
28:44I'm sorry.
28:45It's okay.
28:45You go for another three, maybe?
28:47Yes.
28:48I thought I knew what I was doing, but clearly still a novice.
28:51I need to bring this whole bunch down now.
28:53Go on, you got it.
28:54I may not have known as many things as everyone else did on the Underground, but I worked hard.
28:59I like to think that I did the best that I could.
29:01Let me just get this last two.
29:03Woo!
29:03And it taught me a lot about money, you know?
29:06It taught me having a budget that you know you need for your weekly shop.
29:11Good!
29:12We've got so many coconuts.
29:14How about 60, AC?
29:15So, we doubled what you asked for.
29:17Hey!
29:18Yes.
29:18That's good.
29:19Great.
29:22Come, come.
29:24All right.
29:25Oh!
29:26Oh, wow.
29:26South China Sea.
29:27Oh, that's beautiful.
29:30This is definitely what we wanted.
29:31Experience in Malaysia is views like this.
29:36We need to get going.
29:37We need to get into Indonesia.
29:38Mr. Lian.
29:39Yes?
29:39We really, really need to get to the border.
29:42Are you on a lift?
29:43Yes.
29:43Oh, my gosh!
29:44Yeah.
29:45OK.
29:46It's been a hard day's work.
29:50Come on, come on.
29:52Come here.
29:54We're going to start earning our keep.
29:56This is where our rice comes from.
29:58Yes, yes, yes.
29:59Wow.
30:01360 kilometres south, Ella and Nana.
30:06Which basis?
30:07Green?
30:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
30:09Orange.
30:09Orange?
30:10Orange.
30:11Harvesting rice in exchange for a night's lodging with villager Marcella.
30:15We filled the whole thing?
30:17Yes.
30:17Oh.
30:18Ah!
30:21Nekbindang, home to one of Borneo's indigenous communities.
30:26Collectively known as the Dayak people.
30:29Their ancestry dates back over 3,000 years.
30:34Marcella, do you plant the rice?
30:36Yes.
30:36You do.
30:37You do.
30:37On the whole mountainside.
30:39This is the hour.
30:40This is your one?
30:41Yeah.
30:41Oh, wow.
30:43Sharing dwellings called longhouses, up to 200 metres long, multiple generations live
30:49alongside each other.
30:52Surviving on small-scale subsistence farming, every able member of the community takes a share
30:58of the work.
30:59I just love seeing all the hats popping up through the hill.
31:03So pretty.
31:03So pretty.
31:04Wow.
31:05My name's Ella.
31:07What's your name?
31:08Ah, Nin.
31:09Nin.
31:10Nin.
31:11This is grandfather.
31:13Grandfather.
31:13Grandfather.
31:14Yes.
31:14Wow.
31:15Wow.
31:15He's so fast.
31:16Yeah, he is.
31:18I don't want him to go to anyone else's basket.
31:21This is my friend.
31:23Girlfriend.
31:23Yes.
31:24Girlfriend.
31:25Your girlfriend.
31:26Woo!
31:28Hi.
31:29Hello.
31:30You all grow up together?
31:33Yes.
31:33Oh, wow.
31:35It's so cool that all these women around her, she grew up with.
31:39Do they live in the community?
31:41Yes, yes.
31:42Okay.
31:43It was just me and my mum growing up.
31:46I've always wanted siblings.
31:47I don't know if every only child feels that way.
31:50But then when I went to school, I met Nana and we naturally gravitated towards each other.
31:55I think we're getting the hang of this.
31:57In the summer holidays, we get in bus to each other's houses and we go to the same chicken
32:01shop and get up to all sorts of mischief around London.
32:05And she spent a lot of time in my house and vice versa, Nana's family is very much my family
32:10as well.
32:11I love it.
32:12Yeah.
32:12This is my dream to be in the sun all day with my mates.
32:16Surrounded by women.
32:17Chewing the fat.
32:18Definitely.
32:19Are we each other's community?
32:21Not physically, because obviously we live in different countries, but...
32:24Emotional community, I would say.
32:26There's a lot of joy that I get from being around you since you moved to Ghana.
32:31Obviously, I really miss you.
32:32I moved to Ghana over two years ago and even if we're in constant communication,
32:36there's nothing that replaces actually being sat next to that person.
32:40So, the race gives us a really amazing opportunity to do that.
32:45High five!
32:46Yeah!
32:47High five!
32:48Yes!
33:06High five!
33:09Just 40 km away, in the foothills of Tiongkandang, lives another Dayak community.
33:17With a strong spiritual tie to the land, they act as custodians of the forest.
33:25All who wish to enter must first receive a protective ritual penancal, performed by shaman...
33:37Lovely.
33:38No, we fill the polybag. Durian. Durian. Ah, vomit fruit.
33:44Not, not, not.
33:48Paying off their accommodation for tonight,
33:51Sam and Kaz are helping the custodians, Ibu Yul and friends,
33:55repot durian fruits.
33:57It smells lovely.
33:58A gift from the forest to the people,
34:01a delicacy as well as a remedy for fevers.
34:04Let's go. Let's go.
34:07This is going to be roasting, isn't it?
34:09We've travelled around the world, but you pull up in a van,
34:12you play the show, and then you get back on the bus and go,
34:15unless you've got a day off, you're not really seeing much.
34:18So having this time, not having to worry about work
34:20or the next show or anything like that,
34:23just experience whatever's getting thrown at us is amazing.
34:28I see. OK, OK.
34:30Sorry, boss.
34:32I love meeting someone that you didn't count on that morning.
34:36You know, but those things happen less and less,
34:39and you can find your heart actually closing along with that.
34:43So I hope the race will reignite that magic.
34:46How old are you?
34:4836.
34:4936. You?
34:5138.
34:52Oh, 36.
34:5336, 38.
34:5538.
34:57I'm definitely old.
34:5836.
35:02What's your marriage?
35:03Married?
35:04No.
35:04Single?
35:05No, no, no.
35:06Girlfriend?
35:07Oh.
35:07Yes.
35:10How many you brother cat?
35:13I have two brothers.
35:14Two?
35:14Yes.
35:15No, brother.
35:16Two sister.
35:17Two sister?
35:18Oh, what is that?
35:19Do you sing any songs when you work?
35:20Yes, I like the song.
35:22Yeah?
35:32It's a nice melody, that.
35:39You like song?
35:40I like song.
35:41Think, think.
35:42What are you doing?
35:44Um...
35:45I came crashing down with a fall
35:49Throwing like a stone all out of my own
35:54Lawless jungles taking a toll on me
35:57When I feel darkness claiming my soul
36:00I tear to the holly
36:02I scream from the rooftops
36:04I'm reaping the holly
36:07I'm rid of the garden coming down
36:09Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
36:11What are you doing?
36:13Very cool.
36:16You're the best.
36:17Bestie!
36:18Yeah!
36:19Bestie, bestie!
36:20Bestie!
36:24Where are we?
36:26I can't really remember.
36:28Hmm...
36:28Princess, I'm stressing.
36:30The only teams still in Malaysia
36:33Princess and Junior
36:34trying to reach the border
36:36before it shut at 5 o'clock.
36:38I feel like there's a couple teams in Indonesia
36:41Okay, yeah, because they would have gone inland which means that they might have got there today
36:48Okay, it's one minute to five so
36:57I'm so nervous, please listen, please listen to leave tomorrow
37:03Really old cloth now
37:05So where to find lodging here?
37:10I
37:10Have a hug. Yes, thank you my friend. Oh, thank you so much. Thank you. Can I have a hug?
37:17Thank you
37:19Thank you so much. We will never forget you mr. Leanne again
37:25Thank you my friend
37:27nicest guy ever
37:29Hello, excuse me. Hello. We we want to stay here. Thank you so much
37:35Uh, I'm not looking forward to this night in here. I'll tell you that. I mean, at least he's got
37:39a bed
37:44This is one of the noisiest roads I've ever been on
37:47Across the border to the south Jeff and Matt have reached the coastal hub of Pontianac
37:55Lying directly on the equator. It's home to a busy bus terminal and five principal ports
38:03Matt
38:04How far do we think this port is still further? Yeah, it's still a fair bit further after their delayed
38:11start
38:11They're hoping the waterways will rocket them farther towards the checkpoint
38:16Painful, isn't it? Let's have a look up here
38:19But first they need to locate the port
38:22I think this is the last port of call tonight. We can't find it. We need to get into a
38:26hotel Matt. It's getting late
38:28This is taking us to the waterfront and then we can walk right. It does come a point where you
38:32gotta stop
38:33Hold on. Dad. Dad. Dad. Right in front of us. Sukkodana. All right. Contact the Sukkodana. Do you know how
38:39we get a ticket to Sukkodana?
38:40Stay here. Oh
38:42Tomorrow is 7am morning. 7am. 7am. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Honestly, that's amazing. Sorry to interrupt.
38:52Thank you.
38:55I'm really proud that I was able to stick to my guns and say that we are going to the
38:59ferry port
39:00We are not gonna go and faff around looking for a hotel. I'm having two beers tonight. I don't care
39:06Fosh
39:10This is my father
39:12Mama. Nice to meet you, Mama. So nice to meet you. These are your children? Yes. Oh
39:18So many generations. So many generations. As night falls in the east
39:23Manasa Garang. Our favourite
39:27Settling into the community longhouse after a day in the fields. Very beautiful. Ella and Nana
39:34Three, two, one. Wow. Guys. I do feel grateful that we made this decision to come the really rural route.
39:43Their way of life is simple and really beautiful. Mama, you look so pretty. Shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty. It makes
39:51me want to build my community and have them closer. That's gonna be us when we're older. Working, living, sleeping.
39:58And our little commune. I'm gonna build a village.
40:02Good night, babe. Good night.
40:05Good night.
40:10I had the worst sleep. I've literally been eaten alive. I've literally been bitten there. All my legs. I might
40:15as well turn into a mosquito.
40:17At the westerly border crossing, Princess and Junior.
40:21We made it. Hello, Indonesia.
40:24Wow. Okay. This really is in the middle of nowhere.
40:27300 kilometres south, deep within Indonesia.
40:31What's up, chickens?
40:33Sam and Kaz are limbering up for their push to the checkpoint.
40:37I'm immediately too hot.
40:40Onwards. We're moving.
40:41Also hoping to speed south, Ella and Nana.
40:45Taking the rural route was more brave than we ever anticipated.
40:49Returning to the remote jungle town of Tayan, in search of transport to Pankalan Boon.
40:56What's the bus there?
40:58Pontignac.
40:59So I don't need to go to Pontignac.
41:01To get a bus? Okay.
41:03I think our best bet is going to be going to Pontignac for more options at the very least.
41:07But on the map, it's quite a big detour.
41:10I don't want to see a bus that goes direct from Tayan to Pankalan Boon.
41:16I think at this point, we do need a bit more convenience.
41:19Our options are super limited out here.
41:25What's up, bro? We need to get to Pankalan Boon.
41:28Is there, like, a bus?
41:30Yes.
41:30Tayan to Pankalan Boon, 7pm.
41:33I can promise to skip it.
41:35You can't promise it.
41:36OK.
41:39Like, what if we wait and then it doesn't exist?
41:41Because we could be on our way to Pontignac before then.
41:43Yeah.
41:44To reach the checkpoint as quickly as possible, a dilemma.
41:49A 100km detour west to Pontignac in the hope of plentiful buses?
41:55Or risk waiting in Tayan for the Seoul bus at 7pm,
41:59which heads direct to Pankalan Boon, if it turns up?
42:03Yeah.
42:04Without any means to actually find out this information in a language that we speak, it's just really difficult.
42:10Let's do it.
42:11Where tomorrow morning we'll be in Pankalan Boon.
42:14Let's just hope this bus exists.
42:16And it stops.
42:18Oh, my God.
42:19Oh, my God.
42:19I feel sick.
42:20Oh.
42:23So, we are looking to get to...
42:26Pankalan Boon.
42:26Pankalan Boon.
42:27Do you think going to Pontignac is...?
42:29Yes.
42:30There is a lot of bus there.
42:31Yes.
42:32So, it's reliable.
42:33We could do with a bit of reliable.
42:34Back in nearby Batang Tarang...
42:36OK, shall we get on the road?
42:38Yeah, let's do it.
42:39Unaware of the potential direct bus to the checkpoint, Sam and Kaz have decided to make the detour to Pontignac.
42:46It's about a three-hour trip.
42:47Yes, taxi.
42:48Let's go.
42:48We are on the road to Pontignac.
42:50Piece of cake.
42:53Matt, how do we get across this road?
42:56Already there, focusing on their exit plan.
42:59We've got the first five minutes till that boat leaves.
43:01Geoff and Matt.
43:02This is already a lot harder than I thought it was going to be, mate.
43:06Yeah.
43:08Speedboat here to Sukodana.
43:09600.
43:10600.
43:12OK.
43:12There's no hurry.
43:13OK.
43:15Now that we've got the tickets, it's the first time in these three days...
43:20Yeah.
43:20..that I've actually relaxed.
43:21Now I feel optimistic, I feel calm.
43:23Yeah, it's good.
43:24But to be honest, you probably weren't expecting how tough it's been.
43:29Heat, hills, steps, backpack, dodgy knees.
43:34Worst combination ever.
43:37But I've got to get back to England and hold my head up and not feel ashamed.
43:41But there's no shame in asking for the help.
43:44No, no, no.
43:45I get that.
43:45Thank you for offering.
43:46Physically, use me and mentally I'll use you because you are mentally incredibly strong.
43:51I'll get worked up, I'll get emotional.
43:53Just see a vision of us approaching the first checkpoint with me on your back.
43:58Fireman's left.
44:03The older you get, maybe the more you should question your ability to do things.
44:08Ooh!
44:09This is just crazy.
44:11The part of my mind that says, come on, but you can do it, is the one that still holds
44:16sway.
44:16Oh!
44:17Here we go.
44:19Now I move it.
44:21Now this is a speedboat.
44:24The father and son are using the waterways to take them 160 kilometres further south to Sukadana.
44:30I'm really tough that we found this.
44:33Well, it's you.
44:34You found it.
44:35Running through dense jungle, the Kapuas River Delta weaves through fishing villages and wide-open estuaries.
44:43Guided by local captains, it's the fastest way to travel.
44:48I'm relieved, Adam's excitement, I'm feeling at the moment.
44:51We're racing properly now.
44:53We're racing properly.
44:56Hello, sir.
44:57Is there a bus to Pontianak?
44:59Further north, but making headway since crossing into Indonesia, Princess and Junior have made it to Sambas.
45:06Yes, what time is the bus?
45:09They plan to stick to the coast, taking advantage of the highway south to Pontianak and then onwards to the
45:16checkpoint.
45:17Sambas City to Pontianak, 4pm and 10pm.
45:21Can we book 4pm to Pontianak?
45:24Which means I'm going to need to try and find someone to stay in Pontianak.
45:27It's OK?
45:28Thank you very much.
45:30You put Princess and Princess, but I'm Junior.
45:35OK.
45:38Whoa.
45:40One sec, one sec, one sec.
45:41I was just thinking, if we can try and get the 10 o'clock one instead, we don't have to
45:44pay for accommodation.
45:45We travel overnight.
45:47Yeah.
45:47We've got 15 minutes, should we try and change it?
45:49Yeah, let's go.
45:50Well, let's go. Should we run there?
45:52Yeah.
45:55Hello, my friend.
45:56Can we please change to 10pm?
46:00It's impossible.
46:03So we can't change it to 10?
46:05That's it.
46:06Oh, that's so annoying, man.
46:08Oh, that's so annoying.
46:09Why didn't we just think before we got it?
46:12What are we doing?
46:13At least we're getting there today.
46:14Yeah, but we have to pay for accommodation now.
46:18OK, you're annoyed, but there's nothing we could have done about it.
46:21This could literally just ruin our race, because it's just so dumb.
46:24Like, we're talking about saving our budget.
46:26What we've spent on a coach, that could have covered accommodation as well.
46:30We don't know what's happening to the other teams.
46:32Oh, OK.
46:34Oh, OK.
46:35I'm over it.
46:38We literally could have done this tonight.
46:41Oh!
46:43It's going to be a long journey.
46:47BUZZER
46:48BUZZER
47:13BUZZER
47:14To sleep for nothing.
47:17BUZZER
47:18BUZZER
47:18BUZZER
47:18We have a homestay here.
47:20OK.
47:21OK.
47:22BUZZER
47:24BUZZER
47:24BUZZER
47:24OK.
47:25BUZZER
47:27BUZZER
47:27Oh, mate.
47:29BUZZER
47:29I'm grateful that we've got a place.
47:31I'm annoyed that we've ended up having to pay for somewhere.
47:33I really wanted to do the whole trip with no accommodation at all.
47:38It is giving penitentiary, though.
47:40Do you reckon the C stands for sell?
47:42There's a chance.
47:44All of the information that we received was that the only way that you can get to Pankalang Boon
47:49is sitting on a bus for 19 hours.
47:52That bus doesn't stop anywhere else.
47:54It goes straight to Pankalang Boon.
47:56It is the route.
47:57I'd be really gutted if there was another way and we didn't find it.
48:02Let's go and get a Nutella sandwich.
48:07Hopefully, in the next half an hour or so, our bus is actually turning up.
48:10Having pursued their risky strategy of staying in Tayan...
48:14Is it definitely going to stop?
48:16It will, right?
48:17..Ella and Nana are still waiting for their bus.
48:20Very nerve-wracking.
48:21There's no actual stop, so you just tell them in advance where you want them to stop.
48:25We can't miss this bus.
48:28Is that a bus?
48:30I think this might be it.
48:33Really?
48:33Maybe.
48:35It might be a lorry.
48:39Yeah, it's a lorry.
48:42I'm still optimistic.
48:55I'm still optimistic.
48:56Shall we get going?
48:57Yeah.
49:00After following the waterways yesterday, Geoff and Matt have found themselves stranded in Sukadana.
49:06Hello.
49:07We're trying to get down to Pangalong Boon.
49:10I can call my friend, who has the taxi.
49:13That would be fantastic.
49:15With no public transport, they settle on an extreme option to cover the 400 kilometres to the checkpoint.
49:23How much is it going to cost?
49:26That's a lot.
49:26I mean, there's a crazy amount of money.
49:28I know.
49:29That's two and a half days budget.
49:31But I don't care how much it is as long as we've got enough to get there.
49:34We're desperate.
49:35Now we are truly out in the middle of the sticks.
49:39Hopefully this works.
49:42Got power, aircon, recline.
49:45What can you own about?
49:46Is it comfy?
49:47No.
49:48Already on the move, Sam and Kaz.
49:51I think it was the right decision to go to Pontianat yesterday,
49:55because all the information we had was saying that Pontianat was the place to get the bus to Pangalong Boon.
50:01All of these genius moves we're making.
50:03Yeah.
50:08Pankalan Boon straight up ahead.
50:11Nice.
50:13I'm so glad that bus came.
50:15This is a win.
50:17A win.
50:18Ah, I'm giddy.
50:25Lying along southern Borneo's Arut River, the colourful city of Pankalan Boon.
50:30Bustling waterways edged with stilted homes and busy streets packed with markets.
50:38A patchwork of cultures and the first checkpoint on the road to Melbourne.
50:47Okay.
50:48On foot, head 700 metres south west, and find Gigi Walnut Ten.
50:55And follow the path to the riverfront. Okay compass. Well, I think it's this one
51:01700 meters. Okay last walk. Yeah
51:08Fine Gigi will not 10 look out for a pathway as well. Oh my gosh. Oh no Gigi one at
51:1410. Yes
51:16I'm saying will not the whole time
51:20Wow, this looks like a precarious bridge. I'm gonna walk in the middle, but I feel like I'm gonna
51:25Get in Laura Croft game. Oh, there's the river there
51:30Wow, this is so pretty so nice. Oh
51:34Okay, okay, okay. Take a water taxi
51:38To find Sarah jewel Murtadden Moss taxi
51:53We're time so stupid
51:5725 kilometers from where they set off yesterday morning. We didn't need to go to Pontianak. There was a bus
52:03from
52:04Tian to the checkpoint. I messed it up. We would have got the bus yesterday. We're a day behind. Yeah
52:13We may have to start taking more risks if we want to start getting there faster again
52:21Wow
52:21very fast
52:27Excited
52:29All right, you must from heading up there
52:35What a mosque is how beautiful

53:59was very true

54:10Oh
54:20Arriving into the city
54:21Get your shoes on
54:23Yeah, they're not running shoes. They're walking quickly shoes

55:00Yeah, that's fine. Let's hope it's going in the right direction
55:03I reckon this is the wrong make so we'll just go back to the way we can. Yeah, this could
55:07cost us
55:08We see something we'll just ask them
55:11It's going there
55:12Gigi wallet 10. It's this one. Yeah
55:15Hello G G wallet 10

55:24river
55:27Take a water taxi to find sirajal mutadin mosque. Hello mate. Can we get on your boat?
55:34I can't see anything. I see it's that with the light on
55:37Is that the mosque?
55:39That might be a giveaway blue light massive blue dome right in front of us
55:44This is that this is it. Oh, I've got another message
55:48To reach checkpoint take any vehicle to bank kauteng and find the closest hotel to sign in
55:55Do you know any toxic

56:04Bank kauteng whatever the closest hotel is to them
56:08What's that please slow equals steady equals quick. I think you're butchering it slightly
56:13That's the bank
56:15Let's go. It's got to be this place. I'm assuming it's the hotel
56:19Is this the hotel?
56:20This is the hotel. Oh, oh, this is perfect service
56:24This is nice. This is wellness. Hello mate. There's the book. There's the book. That's the book moment of truth

57:03Oh, wow. Oh, we're not last. We're not 23. We're not far behind. We're just behind them
57:09overwhelmingly relieved
57:10Truth is I thought actually we're not even going to finish this first leg
57:14We've way overspent, but hopefully I'm going to claw it back. Thank you. Thank you
57:19Get a feeder get some liquid in shower will be fantastic
57:28He's been sick. That's the second person my days
57:38Throwing up everywhere. Oh wow that does smell. It's really bad
57:45What steaks? I can't and we can literally smell it. Oh my gosh
57:52It's the sick boss
57:58The other teams are on a move. They're probably already at the checkpoint. Where's cats? I've just left my friend
58:04behind
58:06This is absolutely horrific
58:09From one world to another. This is mental man. That is definitely a crime
58:15If it was just me, I would go home now. No way
58:19This is a rocket tank. This mentality is not what we need. I'm so over it
58:24Ah
58:25I'm so over you
58:26I
58:27I
58:27I
