Is anybody else watching this amazing programme
I doubt I could do this, and I'm able bodied. (Hats of to them all)
2 are wheelchair bound (one is the bloke on BBC before the progammes start, hes on a basketball court with 2 others), and have custom built chairs, others have no arms, or legs, one is blind 1 is deaf.
Eleven people are about to make history, attempting a journey that's never been done before. None of them have expedition experience, but halfway round the world from the UK, they're going to cross Nicaragua from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific Ocean.
They'll start on the treacherous Mosquito Coast, escorted by armed soldiers to protect them from bandits and drug traffickers. They'll make their way through impenetrable jungle, crocodile-infested rivers and climb a live volcano in order to make it to their finishing line - the Pacific coast. Accompanied by expedition leader Ken Hames, they have 28 days to cross 220 miles ... and they are all physically disabled.
