What happens when you’re dropped on the remote Scilly Isles with a mission to swim and run your way across them, all while carrying your own tent and supplies? We found out! Guided by a map with mandatory checkpoints and optional bonus points, we had to strategise, navigate, and race against a strict time limit. This is a story of adventure in one of the UK’s most beautiful locations, filled with tough decisions, breathtaking swims, long runs, and a lot of suffering!
Join Mark and Heather as they take on their toughest challenge yet, pushing their physical and mental limits to see if they can conquer the course and, more importantly, make it to the pub at the end of the day!
A huge thank you to Wes from The Silly 60 for dreaming up this incredible challenge and inviting us along!
