They run through deserts, through ice and snow, deep into the jungle, along the water and over the mountains. The landscapes through which these routes wind are unique and exert their never-ending fascination even on regular travellers.
The roads at the Artic Circle are covered in ice and snow almost eight months out of the year. Conditions that would lead to a total collapse further south are routine for the experienced men of the High North on the road in their trucks. But the truckers work under the same time pressures as their colleagues in the warmer South: the goods must get to customers on time.

00:30In the Arctic Circle, in the north of Russia,
00:33there are roads which only exist for a few weeks each year.
00:44Conditions in the ice are extreme.
00:55If you take the winter road, you do so at your own peril.
01:00In Siberia, many roads are made not of tarmac, but of ice and snow.
01:04In Siberia, many roads are made not of tarmac, but of ice and snow.
01:10The winter road linking Salihat and Nadim is only passable from December to April,
01:14when spring arrives on the border between Taiga and Tundra.
01:18Temperatures rise from minus 50 to minus 70.
01:21The winter road is only passable from December to April.
01:24When spring arrives on the border between Taiga and Tundra,
01:28temperatures rise from minus 50 to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
01:32It's the beginning of the end for the road of ice.
01:34Yuri Zirbu knows this road like no other.
01:36He is accompanying a heavy haulage back to Salihat, his hometown.
01:40In spring, water flows across the frozen ground, turning the road into an icy pist.
01:44The two drivers need to cross a dangerous section.
01:46The top is dangerous. We could slide down and stay at the bottom.
01:48Keep to the bottom, drive slowly in first gear.
01:52Is this part dangerous? No, you just have to be careful.
01:57No, you just have to be careful.
01:58No, you just have to be careful.
02:01This is the same as the other.
02:02The other road is to the south.
02:04He is accompanying a heavy haulage back to Salihat, his hometown.
02:07In spring, water flows across the frozen ground, turning the road into an icy pist.
02:09The two drivers need to cross a dangerous section.
02:12The top is dangerous. We could slide down and stay at the bottom.
02:16Keep to the bottom, drive slowly in first gear.
02:18Is this part dangerous?
02:19No, you just have to be careful.
02:21Stay on this track over there and just keep going.
02:25On and on.
02:26And there, when I'm like a brush.
02:30And so I went to the top.
02:33Many people try to take the upper part of the road and slide down.
02:38Sometimes they even overturn and fall to the side.
02:42It's a really tricky part.
02:45You have to be very precise when driving.
02:48Leonid Padalka specializes in heavy haulage driving.
02:57He has to maneuver the heavily laden lorry across the ice.
03:02And he's running away.
03:03He has to be inspired as a boy.
03:04He has to be very tight.
03:05He's running out.
03:06It's never done alive.
03:07He was running out of time.
03:08And he has to be very close enough for his family.
03:09The lorry almost makes it of the little rise,
03:35but the last bit of the slope is too steep and too slippery.
03:39It's for moments like this that Yuri Zirbu is with him.
03:44We need to make the rope longer, because I'm on a slope, and so is he.
03:51I need to get further up the hill.
03:55The articulated lorry only makes it across the hill with the help of the second vehicle,
04:00as long as the makeshift extension of the tow rope holds.
04:04We need to get the wheels off the ice, and then you try going in second gear.
04:34The drive from Salihad to Nadim and back takes five days, if the weather complies.
04:41It's only during the winter months that the men can transport urgently needed goods between the towns.
04:47Right now they need a street roller in Salihad.
04:50The drivers reach the city in the evening.
04:53Founded as a Cossack fortress, Salihad today lives off the vast gas fields of this region.
04:59The gas reserves are among the biggest in the world, and have made the town an affluent community.
05:05Despite the extreme temperatures, some 40,000 people live here.
05:13On the outskirts of the town, the company premises of Yamalav Todor, the region's road building contractor, can be found.
05:22Yamalav Todor is responsible for building and maintaining the region's few roads.
05:29The company employs Leonid Padalka and Yuri Zirbu as drivers.
05:47They are glad it has got a little colder.
05:50At minus 30 degrees, their work becomes easier.
05:53Before the temperatures rise again, and the road sinks into the mud, they have to drive one last heavy haulage across.
06:01They urgently need an asphalt paver at the other end of the winter road in Nadim.
06:10Before they can set off, the 15-ton machine needs to be loaded onto the trailer.
06:17If the track widths are not the same, the machine can topple over.
06:24But it's so heavy, it's impossible to load it back up.
06:30In order to make sure the load doesn't slide off en route, the man painstakingly secured it on the trailer.
06:37Good preparation is the very least they can do to get across the ice road.
06:47Yuri Zirbu loves the north, but he also knows its dangers.
06:54You can freeze to death very quickly.
06:57You won't even feel it.
06:59You look for an escape.
07:01You clasp at every straw to get out and reach your destination to solve your problem.
07:08But you're very much afraid.
07:10The convoy will be traveling on this road without any contact with the outside world for several days.
07:25There is no mobile phone reception.
07:28If you want to take the winter road, you have to know about the dangers.
07:31Everyone registers at the entrance.
07:34The convoy consists of four vehicles.
07:37The lorry with its heavy load is followed by a bulldozer, which is supposed to clear the way in case of an emergency.
07:43Then there's a lorry with building materials.
07:46At the back is Yuri Zirbu, securing the convoy.
07:48Salihat is situated in the autonomous Yamalo-Neniatz region, right on the Ob River in the Arctic Circle.
08:00The winter road to Nadim is some 300 kilometers long and leads through marshland and across several rivers.
08:08It's the only road which connects Salihat with the outside world.
08:11At the other end of the road, in Nadim, Kolja Prokhorov and Yegor Stefanenko want to risk the drive across the winter road.
08:25The two share an unusual passion.
08:28They love driving cross-country, away from regular roads.
08:33For the summer, they are planning an off-road trip across Russia.
08:36They want to use the winter road to test themselves and their cars in the most extreme conditions.
08:45They told us not to let any more lorries pass.
08:49We'll wait until tonight.
08:51The boss wanted to call back then.
08:54He said that maybe we won't let any more lorries pass from now on.
09:00How's the road?
09:01Is it slippery?
09:03Yes.
09:04Will we get through with the Jeep?
09:07Yes, you will.
09:08Why won't you let any more lorries pass?
09:11It's warm, it's thawing.
09:13How long for?
09:14Until 6pm.
09:17All right, thanks.
09:18Sure.
09:19The two off-road drivers are from Nadim and have never made it all the way to the neighbouring town of Salihat.
09:36Now, at the end of the winter, they have picked the most unpleasant time for their trip.
09:43There is neither accommodation nor any restaurants along these 300 kilometres.
09:49They have to look after themselves.
09:51It's starting to thaw, the snow's getting heavier.
10:02We'll hope for the best.
10:06I heard the weather forecast.
10:08They forecast temperatures above zero.
10:11The best thing would be to drive at night.
10:15It'll probably be colder then.
10:17During the day, it'll be pretty wet.
10:20We've thought it through.
10:27We're well prepared.
10:29We double-check everything several times before we embark on a tour like this.
10:35It's the only way.
10:37We value our life and our health very much.
10:39The road leads across a river.
10:52In just a few weeks' time, barges will be travelling here instead of cars.
10:57But for now, the ice holds.
11:09Weather-beaten pylons and deformed rail tracks remind us of Stalin's superpower fantasies,
11:21which were thwarted by the eternal cold of northern Siberia.
11:25After World War II, the dictator wanted to build a railway line along the Arctic Circle.
11:31The secret project was called Stalin's Railway, or the Route of Death.
11:36More than 100,000 Gulai prisoners were exposed to the cold with no protection.
11:43Extreme driver Yegor Stefaninka seized the camps for the first time.
11:56Stalin's railway was never in operation.
12:00Two weeks after Stalin's death, work stopped.
12:05One week after Stalin's death.
12:15At the other end of the winter road, Yuri Zirbu has veered off the right path.
12:20Even experienced drivers have a hard time recognising where the road ends and deep snow begins.
12:26In the course of the day, it becomes warmer again.
12:30There is no traction between snow and wheels.
12:37The snow is like soap, the wheels just spin.
12:40Because of the angle, it would take him hours to get out of this situation by himself.
12:47The edge of hard-pressed snow makes it hard to get the wheels back on solid ground.
12:53You need to understand that the temperatures of the air, the ground and the snow are all different, and that it's all interconnected.
13:07Only then, you can come to a conclusion and make a decision on which way to take best.
13:25Right now, he needs less air in his tyres.
13:34Yuri's path takes him back into deep snow.
13:38He wants to make the road wider.
13:41With his Russian Ural truck, which is specially designed for heavy territory, he can change the air pressure in the tyres while he is driving.
13:48With less air, the tyres are like the paws of a bear.
13:59When a bear steps on branches, you'd think they'd break, but they don't.
14:04They don't even make a sound.
14:06This also applies to the tyres of the Ural.
14:16Now the vehicle has created the necessary space for itself and feels like a fish in water.
14:22You just need to keep calm and be patient, don't get hectic.
14:27Every year, in November, Yuri forges the road into the deep snow.
14:31Centimetre by centimetre, day by day, until he has made a fresh track across the 300 kilometres from Salihat to Nadim.
14:52Ivan and Grigori Ataman are on their way home.
14:55They were selling reindeer meat on the market in Salihat and bought some groceries.
15:01The two brothers are tundra nomads and members of the Nenets people.
15:07Ivan and Grigori live in a small settlement some 130 kilometres outside of Salihat, right in the middle of the tundra.
15:17They need a slow-mobile or a sledge to get to their tents.
15:26Snowmobiles are fast but tiring.
15:30After 40 kilometres, the nomads stop for a tea break.
15:34This is not just so they can recover.
15:37The Nenets stop in sacred places.
15:40To Grigori Ataman and his people, a road is not just a road.
15:44We always stop over there and make an offering.
15:50Sometimes we also throw coins in passing too.
15:53You mustn't destroy any branches around here.
15:57There are no petrol stations in the tundra.
16:03Therefore, the Nenets brothers always take a barrel of petrol with them.
16:07They want to reach their little settlement before nightfall.
16:12The last 30 kilometres will lead them through deep snow.
16:16Without this road, it took us much longer to get to the town.
16:23Sometimes as long as two or three days.
16:26Back in those days, when there was no road, our sledges would get stuck in hilly territory.
16:31Today, it's the road of life for us.
16:39Yuri Zirbu and his convoy colleagues make sure the road will remain passable.
16:45On each trip, they chain pipes, which will be welded together to their lorries.
16:49These makeshift four-ton rollers level and compact the snow, which would otherwise break up, blow away and become impassable within a few days.
17:08To make a good road, you need to build it above the tundra.
17:12We want the winter road to be similar to a normal road.
17:15Normal roads have a firm base.
17:21Here, we have a base of snow.
17:24We keep driving across new snow, so it increases in height.
17:28Once the road is above the level of the tundra, you needn't worry about blizzards and wind anymore.
17:33We needn't worry about the rain.
17:34Our family and companions will be out there and we will not all be iconic.
17:35We reduce the wind of an old teardom.
17:36The rain has every week.
17:37We can ohm wizards in a new land.
17:38With Uzbek leave a lot of sun and sun.
17:39We are the only in the rain that is up to the wind.
17:40We are the only one day.
17:41We are the only one day.
17:42We are the only two days when coming back.
17:43We are the only pierced and our prisoners have to complete the wind.
17:44The rain was a brutal wall.
17:45The rain was at the beach at the beach.
17:47We are the only a lot of bed.
17:49The rain was when coming from here.
17:51The rain was a little bit of a night.
17:53The rain had to have a cold storm.
17:54The rain was a cold.
17:56The rain was a cold-like.
18:03The best time for driving on a winter road is at night time.
18:15With their headlights, the drivers can make out bumps
18:18sooner than in the diffuse daylight.
18:21The convoy is making good progress.
18:24But then Yuri and his colleagues encounter a lorry which has had an accident.
18:29The driver has been stuck since lunchtime.
18:33No one has been able to help him.
18:36His attempts to free himself have only dug him deeper into the snow.
18:46I miscalculated and veered off the road.
18:49There was a blizzard and I couldn't see anything.
18:51Then I overturned and slid off the road.
18:54And then he left.
18:57Yuri wants to pull the lorry out with a rope.
19:00The wheel loader also pushes it from behind.
19:04The lorry is not moving at all.
19:13Try to start the engine.
19:15It's complicated.
19:23If we could start it, the power of the engine would help us.
19:27Right now it's like a dead weight.
19:29Without the engine running, it's practically immovable.
19:32Due to the cold temperatures, the vehicles are never switched off on the winter road.
19:44Not even on longer brakes.
19:46The drivers know, once the engine cools off, there is nothing they can do without outside help.
19:53Everyone out of the way.
20:23The rescue mission has delayed the convoy considerably.
20:39On the winter road, punctuality is a luxury.
20:45Nowadays it's each to their own.
20:47The north doesn't forgive these mistakes.
20:50On your own, you won't get far in the tundra in this kind of frost.
20:57I don't know how strong a man has to be here to get by without help.
21:02Sooner or later, everyone needs the help of a friend or a colleague.
21:06Ten kilometers further on, there's another accident.
21:15Fury is not surprised.
21:17The black eyes here has been the downfall of many a driver.
21:25This lorry has been stuck for three days now.
21:28Several attempts to help him have failed.
21:30The heavy load has pulled the lorry deeper and deeper down the slope.
21:34Try second gear.
21:39Yuri quickly realizes that they can't help him either.
21:44But the lorry blocks their way.
21:46He needs to stay where he is, dammit.
21:49We'll carefully go past him so we won't squash him if we slide.
21:53We've cleared it all.
21:57We give up. Uncouple.
22:03The convoy carefully drives past the unfortunate vehicle.
22:07After a few meters, the wheel loader starts to slide.
22:11I told him, you need to drive at the bottom, at the very bottom, so you won't slide.
22:19And he replies, very well, only to proceed to drive a different route.
22:23The convoy has been on the road for 14 hours.
22:31Despite their exhaustion, the drivers make use of the favorable nighttime conditions.
22:37They continue to find their way through the cold and snow until dawn.
22:42Very few creatures can survive the hostile environment of the Arctic Circle.
23:08Extreme differences in temperature, blizzards, permafrost soil.
23:13The Nenets people have come to terms with the adversities of nature.
23:17The brothers Ivan and Grigori Ataman reach their little settlement of three tents on the previous evening.
23:27Together, they take a breakfast of tea and raw frozen reindeer meat.
23:34Some 40,000 Nenets live in the region of Yamalo Nenets, named after them.
23:40In their language, Nense means man.
23:43Some of them have preserved the old culture.
23:46They live as nomads of the tundra.
23:48With their tents, they move from place to place.
23:50The Nenets practice strict division of labor.
23:56The women are responsible for the tent, the food and the children.
24:01The men take care of the reindeer and the hunter.
24:05Reindeer are the Nenets' treasure.
24:08Many nomad families have thousands of the animals at their disposal.
24:12Tents and clothing are made from reindeer hides.
24:16Nothing else keeps you as warm.
24:28The dogs are restless.
24:30They can feel that they will be hunting today.
24:33Spring is coming.
24:35And soon, Grigori, Ivan and their friend will start heading for the summer meadows up north with their herds.
24:42This means the herd, which has been living independently of its owners, needs to be rounded up again.
25:12Grigori is the owner of 3,000 reindeer.
25:17They are able to withstand colder temperatures than any other farm animal.
25:22First, the men want to catch some individual animals.
25:26The animals can smell trouble.
25:29With their snowmobiles, Grigori and his brother round up the animals and herd them towards the others,
25:44who are waiting with their lassus.
25:46They try to catch the male lead animals.
25:49Reindeer hooves are very broad and they can move fast in deep snow.
25:54As soon as they've caught the first reindeer, they tether them to the wooden sleighs.
26:17They need to get used to their task as working animals again.
26:21The rest of the herd follows them voluntarily.
26:24Soon it will be impossible to drive around on the snowmobiles.
26:28Then we won't be able to go into town.
26:33Once it thaws, everything gets water-locked.
26:36The road becomes impassable.
26:38Now we take those reindeer to the herd.
26:40Then we catch the younger ones and train them up too.
26:43The first sleigh is ready to go.
26:48Soon the Nanyets will ride hundreds of kilometers up north on them,
26:52always following the cold into the vast tundra.
26:56The first sleigh is ready to go.
27:00Soon the Nanyets will ride hundreds of kilometers up north on them,
27:04always following the cold into the vast tundra.
27:12The drivers use the roof of Yuri's Ural as a refrigerator.
27:17The convoy has driven until the morning.
27:20Before they can carry on, they need to put a good meal on the table.
27:24The delicacy of the north is called muxum,
27:28a fish whose home is the Ob River.
27:31Yuri cuts up the raw fish, as Nanyets tradition dictates, into small strips.
27:43It's freshly frozen.
27:45The fish is for internal use, with salt and pepper.
27:49Vodka is desirable too.
27:51Without vodka it's not perfect, but you can eat it anyway.
27:56The night was cold.
27:58The wheel valves are frozen.
28:04We let the air out of the tires so the car can cope better with the winter road,
28:08so it won't get damaged.
28:09If there's less air in the tires, it's easier to drive
28:12and you've got a better grip between the snow and wheels.
28:17Halfway between Nadim and Salihat,
28:20there is a station.
28:21Yuri and the others want to reach this station today.
28:39Many drivers make use of the last days when the road is still passable.
28:43Soon, it will be closed.
28:46For the next eight months, transports will have to take place by plane or ship.
28:52The road disappears, as it were.
28:55The only reminders for the wrecks of the unlucky lorries.
28:58An oncoming driver tells Yuri about conditions on the rest of the way.
29:10They say the road to Nadim is bad. Will our convoy make it?
29:15It will probably get through, though. If not, use the ropes. You can get through on the tracks.
29:21Have you been getting through okay?
29:23Yeah.
29:25The road is like soap. It's turned warm.
29:29I'll string up and carry on now.
29:34Have a good trip.
29:36In the north of Siberia, the permafrost soil is hundreds of metres deep.
29:49On top, there are vast swamplands which the winter road leads through.
29:54Parts of them thaw when temperatures reach 15 degrees below zero.
30:00In some areas, even experienced drivers like Yuri find it hard to make out whether the road is still passable at all.
30:07It's still okay at the moment. Sometimes the water comes up to my feet in the cabin.
30:24In some places, the water is up to one and a half metres deep. The difficult bit is that you don't know what's underneath.
30:43In the spring, there's water coming from above and from below, so the ice is no longer solid.
30:49But it breaks. You can cave in any time. Really, any time.
30:58The convoy has reached the little station halfway between Salahat and Nadim.
31:03Many people take a brief break there before they tackle the second part of their trip.
31:08A reserve fund of petrol helps those drivers who underestimated the high petrol consumption on the winter road.
31:14Yuri's Euro uses more than 50 litres per 100 kilometres.
31:20Vasily Volkov guards the station and the petrol.
31:25He's a hermit of the winter road. For eight months each year, he's completely alone.
31:31For the other four months, when the winter road is in use, his hut is a popular meeting place for truckers.
31:36One of the drivers tells of his accident just short of the station.
31:46This morning, his lorry overturned. He was carrying a load of petrol.
31:52Fellow drivers freed him from the broken vehicle and brought him here.
31:56My first thought was, damn, this is it. I thought I was dead. But this was the end.
32:10Then I wondered, is this what heaven looks like?
32:15Everything was upside down. You see nothing. There's snow everywhere.
32:22Are you still alive or not? You just don't know.
32:26No one knows.
32:29In the old days they forced us to drive. Now we do it of our own free will.
32:34Yes, now we do it of our own free will.
32:37Temperatures rise to five degrees below zero.
32:52Lizards are increasingly likely. The wind picks up.
32:56Within a few hours, the road is covered in loose snow.
33:00The road markings on either side disappear.
33:03Off-road drivers Kolja and Igor find it more and more difficult to drive their cars across the blown away road.
33:25The front axle of Kolja's vehicle has hit deep snow.
33:29He won't be able to get out again by himself.
33:31Igor has to help him.
33:35The wind has become very strong.
33:38It blows snow onto the road so we can expect more snow drifts.
33:42We'll have to keep pulling the other one out a few more times.
33:47The jolt at the start pulls off part of the rope holder.
34:03At least Kolja's car has come unstuck.
34:05I drove quite a deep track into here.
34:09It's only 30 metres to the other side of the snow bank.
34:13They could make it if they drive faster.
34:16The men start wondering if they will make it back home this winter.
34:19If they have to leave their vehicles behind, they'll never see them again.
34:31The convoy drivers also find it hard to keep control over what's going on.
34:36The snow is wet and slippery.
34:45The lorry carrying the asphalt machine won't make it up the hills on its own.
34:50When attempting to tow it, the wheel loader also starts to slide.
34:54Once they've dug it out, they start a second attempt at getting the articulated lorry across the hill.
35:03They need to cross several hills in a row.
35:11Again, the wheels start spinning after a few minutes.
35:1535 tonnes rotating on the spot.
35:18We need more speed. If we go faster, we can pull the lorry up the hill.
35:25The rope needs to remain at full stretch.
35:27If it stops at the bottom of the hill, you can't pull it up. It's stuck.
35:31You can only do it together.
35:33I'll use fourth gear. It'll be faster that way.
35:37If I go in second gear, I'll get stuck. You're simply too slow.
35:43There are several hundred weights of bottom ash in the lorry.
35:46It's a survival aid for winter road drivers.
35:51Bucket by bucket, the drivers put down a trail in the snow so that the wheels can grip at the next attempt.
36:05The team carefully rolls back to the bottom of the hill.
36:08Then, both drivers will go at full speed simultaneously.
36:21Again, the lorry grinds to a halt.
36:24But right at that moment, the bulldozer's wheels catch hold in the snow.
36:28No, no.
36:29Don't be there.
36:32I don't know.
37:02In the Nanyet settlement, the problems on the winter road go unnoticed.
37:07The tundra nomads have been living in the Arctic for thousands of years.
37:12Like every year, they quietly prepare for spring.
37:16Some of the sleighs need mending.
37:25Once every two weeks, Ivan and Grigori slaughter a reindeer for their own use.
37:32They need all hands on deck for that.
37:38They have to be quick or the meat will freeze under the knife and the men won't be able to skin the animal.
37:45Reindeer meat, reindeer blood and fat are basic foodstuffs as well as a source of income.
37:51Ivan and Grigori take the snowmobiles into town for the last time this year.
38:03There, they sell reindeer meat and frozen fish.
38:07They use the proceeds to buy supplies for the coming months.
38:10There's another one who got stuck. The poor guy slid.
38:16Shall we try it from the top?
38:22Off-roaders Kolja and Yegor are standing in front of a slope which is completely frozen over.
38:28Some lorries have slid off and blocked the way.
38:30May I offer you my hand, sir?
38:36This hill is particularly treacherous if you leave the track.
38:39Do you want to drive along here?
38:41Yes.
38:45In the last days when the winter road is still open, no vehicle makes it through without problems.
38:51The icy pist becomes a slide for man and machine.
39:16Kolja and Yegor don't want to wait several days for the road to become free again,
39:20they look for an alternative route around the blocked area.
39:26Do you see how much water there is? We could sink here.
39:29I can't imagine how we would get around that bit with the two trees over there.
39:33No idea.
39:35To the right? To the right.
39:40Centimetre by centimetre, Yegor advances on the thin ice.
39:46Kolja secures the car on the side.
39:50At that moment, an oncoming vehicle blocks their way.
40:08What now? Why do you drive along here without checking the area first?
40:12The way in front is blocked, but they can't go back either.
40:16There are very few options left to avoid having to leave the car behind until next year.
40:21The men want to try using a cable winch and ease the car down the slope sideways.
40:27The men want to try using a cable winch and ease the car down the slope sideways.
40:30The men want to try using a cable winch.
40:31The men want to try using a cable winch and ease the car down the slope sideways.
40:37We've managed a tricky icy bit. I'm happy. I don't want to sleep anymore.
40:47We've managed the tricky icy bit, I'm happy, I don't want to sleep anymore, I'm not hungry
41:08or thirsty anymore, at last we can keep going.
41:21For the near future, a modern railway is planned between Salihat and Nadim along the old Stalin
41:27railway.
41:28Will there ever be a paved road that makes travelling between the two towns easier?
41:33No one knows.
41:37Yuri and his colleagues have made it, the convoy reaches the control station, from there
41:42it's just a few more kilometres into town.
41:47You're from here, right?
41:48You have one car?
41:49Three?
41:54Good luck.
41:56Yuri can't imagine a life without that road and the snow.
42:03This road is like a treat for me.
42:06The winter road will always remain the winter road.
42:09If you work here with good people you won't ever feel fatigued.
42:13Of course you'll get tired, but you're always in a good mood.
42:17It's fun.
42:19You do a job which you, sometimes doubted, you can succeed at.
42:23You wonder how you've achieved this much, but it's a fact.
42:28We've made it, without much ado.
42:32You don't have to look at but it's only three days I don't want.
42:39I'll be at least at least tomorrow.
42:42I'm thoughts on this road with the
42:43impossible cars that not Group Various Task Force
42:45I'll stay away with thevedaall.
42:47I'll stand for about it.
42:49And each other road will get it, you know,
42:51it's a bit too busy.
42:51That's a piece of Hope II not for him.
