This is not for the faint hearted and plenty of training is needed to survive.
The original and toughest test of its kind anywhere in the World. Run on the last Sunday in January, you will need every last ounce of mental and physical strength you can muster to rise to this challenge. Your fear of heights, tight spaces, fire, water and electricity will be tested to the max. Everyone bar the very toughest will be beaten!

Congratulations to EXPEDITIONMEDIA soundmen James Baker, Callum Bulmer and Simon Burles who worked on Trawlermen (Series 4) which recently picked up the 2010 BAFTA Craft Award for Best Factual Sound. This is particularly impressive given the extreme weather conditions that the crew faced on a daily basis.
We are pleased to announce a new Expedition Media category: Underwater Cameraman & Marine Services.
With some incredibly well qualified and vastly experienced operators already listed, if you are looking for experts for your underwater work, look no further!

Presenter and EXPEDITIONMEDIA member, Monty Halls, has spent six months on the tiny island of Benbecula in the Uists, a string of rocky outcrops in the North Atlantic, separated from the mainland by the ‘Minch’ strait., in the Outer Hebrides, filming his second BBC Great Escape programme. The first, based in Applecross on the west coast of Scotland, focused on his attempt to live like a crofter.
Around three and a half million viewers tuned in and tourism in Applecross increased by 1,000 per cent. This year, the Uists are hoping for their share of the action, when Monty turns his back on city life once again, this time to become a countryside ranger.
Congratulations to Monty on another great series!

Monty Halls’ Great Escape is now showing on BBC2.
Expedition Media member Dr Dougal Jerram (Presenter/Scientist) is being used by the BBC and other news networks to provide an explanation for the current Icelandic volcanic eruption phenomena. With a contagious enthusiasm for all things “rock”, as well as years of experience in the field, Dougal has an ability to explain complex scientific principles in streetwise, layman’s terms.
A team from Expedition Media filmed Dougal as he visited, scanned and climbed into ‘Etre Ale’ volcano in the Danakil Depression, Ethiopia – which is officially the hottest place on earth!
