Marc and Sam's epic journey
A few people have asked me recently about mine and Sam's "RG Top Gear challenge" videos are, so I promised to link them up here again. For the unitiated, way back in 2010 Sam Wells and I made an epic plane/train/road/boat/road trip from the Mahe in the Seychelles back to Bournemouth.
Myself, Sam and a whole group of our friends stayed on the idyllic island of Cousine in the middle of the Indian Ocean. We spent our mornings studying, our afternoons fishing, snorkelling, kayaking in the afternoons and much of the evenings mixing of coctails and tearing about the place in golf buggies. Check out Cousine's website here.
It was that week that the (catchily-named) Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland started to erupt and spew thousands of tons of pumous, ash and general nastiness into the air, grounding thousands of flights across the northern hemisphere in the process. When it came time to return to the UK after our week in paradise flights out of the Seychelles were being cancelled and the group opted to wait it out on Mahe, the main island. Having heard rumours of a late night flight to Rome being the last flight that was going to be able to leave the island, Sam and I jumped at the chance to have a little adventure of our own, trying to get home from the Italian capital.
The video linked below was our way of communicating with the friends, family and collegues back at home who became our support crew over the two day epic journey home that ensewed.
So here's mine and Sam's epic journey back from the Seychelles. It's 9 episodes and I've put them in a playlist back to back here.
