00:00Oh
00:30wow this is picturesque india really has it all though it really does yeah ready selfie
00:39is that better no i missed you which is good
00:44gear national park the only place outside of africa where lions still roam in the wild
00:52these big cats were hunted close to extinction before 1900 when the navab of junaga turned his
01:01hunting ground into india's first wildlife sanctuary
01:08and today it's home to a thriving population of lions once more oh look down there it's beautiful
01:16it's just an oasis of calm and it makes the stress of the race so worth it being on a safari
01:26it's amazing not thinking about the race just yeah having this experience together
01:31it's lovely just to drive around it's lovely isn't it really it's being the dream to feel the wind in
01:36your hair how fast can lions run 60 60 kilometers and how fast can this go oh my gosh oh there's a
01:52there's a lion in a cup that is so magical that is so gorgeous
02:00that's incredible i didn't think we were going to see this at all
02:04the lion down on a snooze in the middle of the road wow
02:14oh my god that was super it was wasn't it mate it was great that that is genuinely a
02:20serious that once in a lifetime i think excited it just surprised me yet again
02:34good morning sir 5 25 a.m this is for you thank you thank you so much sir as brian and melvin were
02:46first to reach the checkpoint they're now first to leave all right we'll go and have a look
02:54in the penultimate leg just six and a half hours separate the brothers and last place
03:00the closest the race has been so far see where we're going hey ready
03:07your seventh checkpoint is panadji panadji panadji never heard of it
03:19it's here bloody hell mate well spotted oh it's on the coast that could be sea sand and beer
03:25almost 1500 kilometers south of sassangir
03:33panadji the capital of goa india's smallest state until 1961 it was under the yoke of portuguese
03:43colonial rule now it's palm fringed beaches are visited by both nesting turtles and millions of
03:50tourists each year the decision we've got to make is do we go back on ourselves using the same route
04:00or do we cut across the bay their first decision how to get off the kartyavar peninsula
04:09they could opt for a ferry but with only two crossings a day timing the connection is key
04:14or retrace their steps north on land before heading south to goa the ferry brings you all
04:24the way south to south it's going to save you 12 hours today once off the peninsula a choice skirt the
04:32konkan coastline via the mega city of mumbai a more direct but popular route where demand for tickets is
04:40high or veer inland through the deccan traps one of the largest igneous areas of the world here they
04:50may avoid the crowds but could add mileage to their journey the mumbai is one of the busiest cities in
04:58in india beat beat blah blah smog smog you don't want to go to mumbai
05:03hmm i'm not that bothered about it i would sooner go in the countryside yeah i'm well up for that
05:10right okay we've got a very early start which gives us a chance to get to the ferry port we need to get
05:16there as quickly as possible okay if we're going to win this race we've got to take a chance we could
05:23stretch a lead by taking the chance now thanks very much my thank you if we can get to that ferry port
05:30knowing that let's say there was only one ferry and another couple turns up as the ferry's pulling
05:35away they'd be cruel wouldn't they we're away
05:42okay let's go leaving the checkpoint two hours behind the leaders wow we're going down
05:48wow okay caroline and tom right what i really want to do is go the most direct route to checkpoint
05:57straight down i think mumbai might be a really good option um possibly a time to try a train
06:05yeah i think we have to brave it it would be good for connections i know we're a bit threatened by
06:10bigger cities but this is leg seven it started off as a marathon in china and we're basically now on
06:16the sprint so i think this is really important that we face our fears so rather than being worried
06:23by mumbai and avoiding it we're actually going to try and use it as the best connection for our race
06:30i'm feeling weirdly excited about this leg i've no idea what mumbai has in store for us
06:35but i'm keeping my mind open right what are we doing to try hitch
06:43hi could you take us into the bus station please
06:45we've already relinquished our first place and that doesn't feel good
06:51we really want to battle to get that back so we will have to really dig deep
06:55this is a good start great start
07:06where do we buy tickets from
07:10tickets thank you thank you already at the ferry port current race leaders brian and melvin
07:17well at least we made it well i'll let you know when i've got a chicken in my hand all right
07:22we don't know how much it is so whatever it is this is the gamble we're taking
07:31hello hello can we please have two tickets to get over the water just a rat
07:37two class available eight five zero business class one ticket price second class slipper class nine
07:43double zero okay we'll take business then is that what's business yeah it's 850. business is
07:48eight five zero eight for slipper class nine double zero it's much the cheapest eight fifty
07:56eight five zero eight five zero is the cheapest well figured out melvin when we were younger used to
08:01beat me up that's the fact i honestly do not remember you did you used to get me in headlocks
08:08well it's always worth tripling what about the second class the agency's just said two classes
08:14available business or sleeping you're not listening you reckon i need me here syringing
08:21but nowadays we have had different opinions occasionally um we both support the same football
08:26team yeah but uh i don't think we're the bickering type
08:30i think we might have achieved our aim today i think we're in front on the first night
08:36how long would it take you do you think to get on the bus to go from where we were
08:40to surat by road how long or rail at least two days two days so in theory we could have sneaked
08:48today it is possible other teams can make it here and catch this ferry well nobody else here it's
08:55early days melv so let's not count our chickens i don't think many will actually not do what we're
09:04doing i'm not so keen on the ferry next to depart hello can we go to bus stop let's go bus stop yeah
09:15elizabeth and leticia let's do this we're only a couple of hours behind like anything could happen
09:22yeah i think the more i'm getting closer to the finale the more competitive i'm getting
09:28cello cello cello go go go go thank you thank you thank you thank you maybe we can get a train train
09:36to mumbai to go straight down yeah sticking to roads and rail the sisters plan to head north off the
09:45peninsula before picking up speed along the coast i feel like there's more pressure when everyone's so close
09:51like there's no room for mistakes there's no room for taking the wrong transportation there's no room
09:56for error right i want to do what we did last leg but faster ready to start chasing down their
10:04competitors let's go finn and seanet brian and melvin are first but only six hours ahead of us
10:11considering we just caught up about 26 hours that's easily doable it's all to play for and it shows that
10:18as possible with what we've just done so for the next leg and the last leg first first
10:28all along the coast to mumbai i think it's probably the fastest option hoping to replicate
10:33their successful strategy of back-to-back transport the couple plan to make for vedodara before the day is
10:40out go try hitchhike okay three three no no we know we need to be communicating with locals more
10:53i feel like i'm growing in confidence for the next two legs we need to ask a lot more questions to get a
10:59lot of people's help without asking questions we definitely wouldn't have got as far please stop
11:05please stop yay oh my god to the bus station oh wow yeah thank you very much thank you
11:14that went well though that was unbelievable we should be proud of ourselves for that
11:18hello we're trying to get to the bavnagar yeah bus bus two tickets perfect thanks sir bus
11:32hopping their way along the coast towards bavnagar caroline and tom have made it to diu
11:3998 kilometers southeast of sassangir
11:42linked to gujarat's southern coast by a bridge it's home to a 16th century fort standing watch over
11:51the arabian sea i like things like this obviously restoring this yeah it's lovely though thomas
12:00should we pop a squat yeah yeah pop a squat
12:05the further we get the closer we're getting towards the finish line now
12:08i think we should try and just work on helping each other as much as we can
12:12because it's only going to get more stressful it was easier to start with because i felt i had a
12:17more maternal role so i was helping you and now i don't know if i'm frightened making the wrong
12:21decision last leg there was one point where i was kind of left to make a big decision and then you didn't
12:27help me as much as i would have liked you're a very confident person but but when it comes to making
12:33a decision i feel like you're kind of holding yourself back a little bit but thomas you must
12:38be aware at home i'm not used to making decisions the last 20 years i haven't had to make them
12:43i think you're worried that when you go home it's going to slip back into normal life yeah
12:50i have been perhaps getting a little bit stuck in a rut i'd like that to change i want you to back
12:57yourself a bit more you're still my amazing mum
13:03i'd really love to know that i am capable of doing whatever i choose to do in the future
13:08we're going to go a beach because i was quite capable before and i'd like to feel i am capable
13:14again just feels really tropical already it does wow oh my golly look at this it's incredible isn't it
13:22and we were in jungle only two hours away oh my god it's beautiful it is lovely you inevitably
13:29sacrifice so much to be a parent you willingly do it but it often takes a toll on you and i think
13:36that contributes to making you a little bit old and possibly in my case boring thomas oh no way yes
13:46he's going up i don't know how many summers i've got left it would be shame
13:51not to live life to the full wow that looks so fun do you think you'd ever do that god yes
13:58definitely would you yes maybe i don't have to do what others think might be expected of me
14:07tell us we've got to be at the bus station
14:08well let us off first which is good yeah i feel like any minute i'm going to get run over my motorbike
14:21after catching the last ferry of the day brian and melvin are the only team to have made it off the
14:27peninsula my gut feeling is that we're still ahead at the moment because we didn't see anybody else on
14:33the ferry and we've got to capitalize on that job done yes
14:41470 kilometers north
14:47fenn and shawned are trading sleep for speed on an overnight bus to vedodara
14:52it's very loud but we can't complain oh right now it was about 2.50 each for the tickets yeah
15:02there's so much going on
15:05whoa it feels like i'm in a horror film
15:08i'm so tired
15:18i don't think it's worth going to the ferry plotting their route and we already have a
15:23solution staring us in the face barring disaster we get there tomorrow morning we're exactly where
15:27we want to be let's do it caroline and tom have found a 15-hour bus ah we're going to be in the
15:33lightning that is bloody good i think that will take them all the way to mumbai
15:40at last we're on the go on the move on the way to mumbai
15:46let's go to the bus station last to secure transport off the peninsula
15:51can you say straight if we can ask along the way yeah elizabeth and letitia are determined to reach
15:58palgar a town 87 kilometers north of mumbai
16:05hello is there direct please to palgar direct okay surat and then palgar
16:13how long time 10 hours 10 hours
16:18well we know there's a bus to surat in 15 minutes but that would require us changing again
16:29yeah so it's not really ideal
16:33should we just go to a train station okay maybe that's a direct train yeah yeah i have a good
16:39feeling letitia with the gut instinct yeah i feel like that chat the last leg definitely um
16:46benefited us and yeah i feel like we are more comfortable around each other we are communicating
16:51better we are um yeah cooperating yeah it's working out for us yeah ready let's go searching for a
16:59better option letitia's hunch take a gamble on the trains hello we want to go to howard gar
17:12that's good okay yes we want to get back to it i definitely think that literature has changed
17:19from the younger sister that i remember when we were growing up well this is smooth
17:25is it i feel like you've definitely got a knack for it she is more determined than i thought and
17:34maybe even more determined than she thought as well now she can't even go back on herself she
17:38can't say that she can't do things because it's very very clear that she can do a lot
17:43i was so confident in that so it's a good decision okay that's good your confidence gave me
17:49conscience i think it worked really well yeah if it's first leg we would have jumped on that bus
17:57i thought yeah i think i still would have jumped on the bus if it wasn't for you so yeah yeah feeling
18:05happy we have booked onward travel so we're on the move
18:10plan of attack is to get to nashik the wine capital of india i'll leave the wine to brian i think on
18:23this i'm quite happy with that you've got your parasita keen to swerve mumbai brian and melvin are
18:29the only team heading inland to a region known for its 175 000 acres of vineyards
18:36islands maybe england is uh popular for their football yeah uh we support derby county in india
18:44only no manchester city and manchester united yeah that's the trouble you see they need to learn

20:02340 kilometers to the north the gujarati city of adhodara
20:09across india on myriad street corners chai valas serve up steaming cups of sweet
20:23spiced tea from the roadside stalls vishnu has been serving his local community for over 30 years

21:22lot of challenges good poor natural there we go thank you there we go to try i've been chatting away to
21:34some customers and yeah it's been nice okay this race is off the scale something to be proud of

22:17direct yeah it's always for your book you have to rebook like a couple of months ahead wow one of
22:24the reason i cancelled my plan for goa was that i didn't got any reservation in three oh okay
22:32that's made me nervous now months months in advance
22:37bye bishnu
22:41i've got a bit of nerves about getting out of mumbai because of what the woman
22:47uh the chai shop said i mean on this stage in the race it's really hard to make a decision because
22:53you really cannot go wrong only 50 rubies 50 rubies perfect any holdups can cost us a lot
23:05while finn and sean ed consider their options
23:10so you go up with the ladder just 60 kilometers to the north
23:15oh it actually wasn't nice being at the top here you could see everything
23:19elizabeth and leticia are trying something new
23:24it's our first super train on this race today where it's gone really really well actually
23:32i'm really learning from the tissues i think the dishes got
23:35it's magic instinct your feet hanging out a little bit oh i don't think i like that like
23:44just people walking past and they get a lovely stench
23:46it's actually more comfortable with some of the beds
23:56well i don't know what we let ourselves in for
23:58no neither do i don't after more than 10 hours on the road it does seem a bit

26:56the pair must master a train network that carries over seven and a half million commuters every day
27:04eight eight twenty four whoo glad you're feeling it church gate

27:38move this experience is just making me feel so
27:43I think that was the best overnight bus of being on thank you 150 kilometers southeast after
28:11changing tack to avoid Mumbai Finn and Shonard have arrived in the city of Pune I'll feel like
28:19it was a good decision to make changing from Mumbai to Pune especially after what we heard
28:25from other people back in Vatidara so I think I feel better about this decision yeah I'm just
28:31hoping that this this route is definitely benefit in our race and is a little bit quicker than one
28:35by what I mean eager to keep moving hello do you go to Panjim they're searching for a direct bus to the
28:44checkpoint 7 30 p.m tomorrow oh right that's not good is there anything earlier okay okay thank you
28:59uh must be something do you go to goa and gym only night tomorrow everyone ah do trains go in the day
29:12no trains full maybe we should have gone to Mumbai then the earliest we could get directly to Panjim
29:22from here is tomorrow night so we're gonna have to find another option we're here we could go to
29:32Colapur which is like midway if we get in there we can take a taxi from there
29:39is that a ticket place I think so I think I've adapted and I'm actually getting used to how things work
29:51around here and how busy places are Colapur this one thank you I mean it's not gonna change for me so
30:01it's either get used to it or go home so it's heads down and do the best we can what times to Colapur
30:07tomorrow 13 to 13 oh yay that what time does it get to Colapur five o'clock come on can we book two tickets
30:16thank you great loads of great loads of grapes isn't it in return for discounted accommodation and a
30:45chance to sample the produce so that needs to be up there like that Brian and Melvin are training vines
30:53whoa that's good we will train our wise so when Sun goes from east to west the bunches are constantly
31:02exposed to the sunlight right at an altitude of 2,000 feet India's wine capital Nashik is framed by the
31:11150 million year old Western Ghats a mountain range older than the Himalayas
31:19so we generally view our vineyard boys the target right so for you four rows four rows that's fine four
31:29rows okay I'm certainly a gold gold given man I will smash my target and normally I'd say I would go on
31:38to surpass it but maybe not on this one occasion
31:42Brian doesn't like to come second he beat me at roomy cup and he's in your face with it you know and I like that about him
31:54do you know we've done about six now don't you Melvin I've done eight on me own
31:58his determination and will to succeed I think he's made him extremely successful well that talking to me
32:10oh the bride comes along like a bully in a china shop knocks it out again I'm sorry right Melvin's a grafter
32:18he's ambitious he's driven he has had a lot of jobs but he's done very well at them he's been keen he's got
32:28promotions and he's moved on yeah I'm proud of him um and maybe I should tell him
32:34I think we're doing our over quota well you're just enjoying it Mel the best way to learn more
32:43about wines is to taste them and you mean taste not drink moderation is is good yeah yeah drinking in
32:51moderation is good thank you cheers mate well done cheers oh that is marvelous look at the view
33:06it's nice isn't it
33:10you've got a leg and a half to go and I know we're always conscious of the next leg and and
33:16it's nice to not think about it for an hour isn't it yeah it's good yeah when we come to places like
33:23this and we think well we're going to do a little bit of work and then you think well
33:25we can actually chill for a few hours it's nice
33:31this race has has pulled something out of us I think I think I think it's it has brought us together
33:38I think the last few weeks we've found out we're more similar than we think yeah similar traits
33:43we are sharing things more now we're not just brian on his own or melvin on his own it's
33:47it's brian and melvin yeah and and and as long as we remember that that we are there for each other
33:53yeah which which which which which we will like we might piss each other off from time to time but
33:59the fact is we're brothers yeah well I think it's a brilliant change in our relationship before the race
34:06I can't imagine brian and I do it talking the way we've we've spoken over the last six seven weeks
34:13our relationship will only get better now once this race is finished we'll speak to each other more
34:19doing something together whether it's if we hired a villa somewhere or other i'll bring all the kids over
34:24and then you come over um for a few days or whatever you want it'd be brilliant i'm not a bigger lovey
34:33dovey bloke but yeah yeah i love him really i wouldn't tell him back to his face i don't mind that i've got
34:40to be honest cheese is good hmm i don't think i'd ever say to brian i love him even though i'm sure he
34:48knows i do i i am absolutely delighted to have done this adventure uh with you
35:00i couldn't think of anybody else i'd rather do it with no we've done we've done we've done okay mel yeah
35:10we need to we need to shift mate because we're we're back in the races from now so let's go i should
35:14bugger off oh dear i'll get home i like it
35:23passenger reservation office first floor still in mumbai with the correct station located hello
35:31we'd like to get two tickets to panji caroline and tom now face the trickier task of getting hold of
35:38tickets oh that's pretty good two of us please let's check but tickets are not available for
35:52tomorrow morning you can uh you can get your tickets in wedding list okay okay wait so now you have to
35:59put your tickets and then tomorrow morning go to the station one hour before the train departs we had to
36:06check whether they have got it confirmed or not and then according to how to travel the ticket isn't
36:11guaranteed yeah it's not that it's it's a bit risky yeah but if we wait it'll be another day i think we
36:20have to do that okay let's put the tickets obviously being on the waiting list is a worry we asked about
36:28trains later on in the day and they are fully booked i'm really hoping it just goes our way and we turn up
36:34tomorrow and they say yes you've got seats that would be amazing so we just had to take the gamble and
36:40we'll have to wait and see taking the risk on the 5 50 a.m train tomorrow towards panaji let's go
36:47come on let's go leave the pair free to indulge in some sightseeing mum look at that building i know
36:54that is stunning beautiful it looks like it's got trees going inside of us in one of the city's most
37:00eclectic neighborhoods bandra where modern high-rises sit side by side with crumbling indo-portuguese
37:08bungalows everything's so individual and different and colorful and graffitied streets are lined with
37:16catholic shrines and grottos what are these oh yeah it's called it's like the street food these are

38:19Mumbai oh thank you very much oh at last oh
38:25it's just been the best day this race has given me newfound confidence that there are things i can do
38:39i would like to make some changes when i get home i've always felt a great sense of guilt if i wanted
38:52to do something for myself or perhaps not that the family first which most parents do under completely
38:58understandably but now i feel if i want to do something i can find something that i absolutely
39:04love and follow it through right should we get going i think we should get to bed because we've got
39:11an early start tomorrow tomorrow is going to be a a stressful day it's just the worry of not knowing
39:19for certain that we're going to get on that train and that we're going to make it to checkpoint
39:23tomorrow 12 hours from now the train leaves actually right
39:26while caroline and tom wait to learn whether they've secured tickets
39:41brian and melvin are competing with local traffic
39:47it's not just very affordable for looks i've bloody heard on them it's honestly milking time
39:51in at the bloody dairy
39:56whilst 100 kilometers west elizabeth and letitia have made it to the outskirts of palgar
40:08to work at a retreat run by the chavra family so lovely to have you they will prepare the evening
40:14meal for guests under the guidance of daughter ayana
40:21thank you that's so cute like cooking outdoors yeah it's really fun yeah in return discounted
40:31accommodation and a massage i love the architecture here like it's all open but you know you have some
40:40shelter it feels like you're in the jungle yeah that's what we wanted yeah very relaxing yeah it's
40:48it's mostly for people to come from the city and relax because like it's very chaotic there yeah
40:56and do you normally cook yeah i love cooking i started cooking when i was four years old wow
41:01how old are you i'm 15 15 15 you're so good
41:05so you've grown up here it's nice it's peaceful quiet no i love the idea of retreat yeah i've been to a few
41:17retreats yeah and i would like to have my own retreat as well yeah i like that
41:23i've traveled a lot i've lived abroad and i've come back to my hometown and i've just been a bit
41:33stagnant really i've been a bit you know deciding what am i going to do with my life etc etc etc
41:40i started getting into going to retreats and it's definitely helped with understanding myself a little
41:47bit more being more confident in what i want to do and actually i would like to provide it for other
41:53people because i know how beneficial it's been for me i'm just excited for what the future will hold
41:59is it down yeah oh okay okay you're comfortable yes
42:25okay sorry i'm relaxing
42:30comfortable very comfortable thank you
42:35i guess seeing my sister envision her dream about starting a retreat it does make me think oh
42:39what should i do you know which i feel like i'm still trying to figure out for myself
42:48before the race i think i definitely had a cycle of
42:52starting things not finishing things and just being upset about that
42:59like university i mean i lasted until you know the last year and then i was like actually no
43:05i don't want to do it i couldn't stay in a job really so long i just had the fear of failure
43:12scared of just putting myself out there such a weird sensation i don't know what to do with myself
43:21i'll embrace it i'll embrace it
43:23being in a race there's so many things you can fail at small things like communicating with people
43:32getting rejected that's like a sense of failing and that was happening on the daily
43:36you just have to become comfortable with failure
43:41oh thank you it's toughened me up i would like to have that feeling um just completing something that i've worked hard on and um i've tried my best on
43:58oh this is lovely
44:03it's so well-being you can just yeah feel isn't it yeah i definitely wish we were here for longer
44:12right let's go 200 kilometers southeast on the outskirts of pune
44:27this place is absolutely beautiful this looks really nice finn and sean ed are embracing the great outdoors
44:33oh wow look at that everyone's chilling having a good time it's cute good vibes at pauna lake
44:41a popular campsite destination for locals seeking a weekend getaway from the cities of pune and mumbai
44:49i love being here with you yeah i mean we're together a lot of home anyway but we've not had
44:54a breather from each other no and somehow still kicking yeah i know do you think after in the finish
45:00line do you think you could carry on i don't think i'd want to go on for longer i think i'd want to go
45:05home for a little bit see everyone but then i do think i'll have that itch again to go traveling so
45:12i honestly think give me three days at the finish line i'll go again it just makes it just inspires
45:18me to i want to do more things i do just want to see more of the world yeah do a lot of fun things first
45:26then all the serious stuff we are still young before coming on the race all i was thinking was
45:35the house the family marriage all of that stuff the race has made me realize there's so much more
45:44that i'm able to do that i'm able to see i'm only 19 i've got the rest of my life to settle down
45:56oh my this is the kind of vibe going on here
46:02do you know the words it's between
46:09you have come to show you go on
46:17you could switch with it

47:27list and we have reserve tickets which is what we're going to find out in the next five minutes i

56:46we've we've we've cocked it up mumbai would have had an infrastructure of transport links and what
56:53we did is that we avoided that so we've avoided all of those fast transport routes it's all in last
