´óÏó´«Ã½

Remember Beyond Boundaries? Over three series between 2005 and 2008, groups of disabled people embarked on the adventure of a lifetime - crossing Nicaragua, Africa and the Andes respectively. They pushed themselves to the limits of endurance as they trekked, climbed mountains, cut through jungles, kayaked down rivers, and then got home and were completely unable to get on the local inaccessible bus and go shopping for their tea. Okay, not the last bit - that would be ridiculous.

And now they're back! Older and wiser, perhaps carrying a few more wrinkles. Have they changed? What did the experience teach them? Did it whet their appetite for travelling round the world, or did they vow never to leave their home comforts again?

Well, you can find out in a new two-part series called Beyond Boundaries: Where Are They Now? which starts this coming Sunday on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two, as expedition leader and ex-SAS Major Ken Hames catches up with the team members. The first show concentrates on the crew from series one, while programme two meets the participants from series two and three.

Beyond Boundaries: Where Are They Now? can be seen this Sunday 22 March at 11.00pm on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two (or in Scotland the following Tuesday 24 March, also at 11.00pm. The second programme follows two weeks later on Sunday 5 April at 10.50pm (with the time and date of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scotland showing yet to be confirmed).

I'll be watching it with my feet up, eating cheese sandwiches and possibly drinking a cocktail. After all, this expedition business can be really exhausting ...
