Race Across The World 2026

[LindorDoubleChoc]

Hooray!

This is back for another series, starting Thursday.

I just googled very quickly and they set off from Sicily and end the race in northern Mongolia - sounds interesting.

I don't know anything else about it at this point, but thought that we should have a thread ready and waiting.

Honestly we went to the Brazilian side first and were wowed. Argentinian side blew us away. I went to Niagara a few years later with DH and was so disappointed! Dh couldn’t understand why. My take do iguazu forst. I’m no longer allowed to travel long haul so I’m glad I’ve travelled enough.

I went on holiday to South America after watching series 2 of RATW. It wasn’t somewhere I’d thought about much before but it exceeded all my expectations and was probably the best holiday I’ve ever had. The series did a great job of showcasing an incredible country.

Iguazu was so amazing - absolutely awe inspiring. No photos or videos could ever do it justice, the sheer power of the water and the beautiful butterflies and rainbows along the trails is something I’ll remember forever.

Yes exactly. 40 years ago and it’s the most amazing place ever.

I didn't go because of RATW, but I ended up in Ushuaia not that long ago and stayed at the hotel they had to run up the hilly road to get to in the finale. It was VERY long and very twisty, I'm not surprised Jen threw her toys out of the pram at that point! Stunning, stunning hotel and city.

@LindorDoubleChoc Nearly the end of the thread!

There's still 70 more spaces!

Evening all!

Joe going for the ninja look. This all looks suddenly a lot more difficult. Was wondering how they would navigate China

About 2 minutes behind, but this episode looks ace already!

Presumably they have been provided with all the winter gear.

Is this the last or the penultimate episode?

Penultimate episode

Evening all - I'm slightly confused, don’t remember them having to fly at the end of the last episode….

Think they stayed at checkpoint checked out went to airport. Nothing much to report. Feature airport tonight

They ended it at the hotel and didn't dnt mention having to fly.

Yes, that's what I thought. No big deal, it just scrambled my brain for a minute. They must have been supplied with all that cold-weather gear, or else they'd been told to bring some and it had been kept back until this point? They can’t have been carrying it all around with them, surely….

Oh no the boys

That's a meat feast and a half!

I would so struggle with the food situation!

Just drink the vodka. All will be well

I just said to DH - that's dried dung, isn’t it? 😂

The boys are so sweet. Properly throwing themselves into it all.

Oh the lads, I just love them!

Mongolian throat-singing is AMAZING

Sound very old saying this but those boys are a credit to their Mums! So mature

Ohhhh the lads. So cool
