1
00:00:06,632 --> 00:00:09,218
Got sun on my face
2
00:00:10,552 --> 00:00:13,180
Sleeping rough on the road
3
00:00:14,806 --> 00:00:17,351
I'll tell you all about it
4
00:00:17,434 --> 00:00:21,980
When I get home
5
00:00:22,731 --> 00:00:25,150
Gonna roll up the sidewalk
6
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:29,238
Gonna need letting up
7
00:00:30,989 --> 00:00:33,450
Comin' round to meet you
8
00:00:34,451 --> 00:00:38,413
The long way up
9
00:00:40,415 --> 00:00:43,877
We're gonna ride 13,000 miles
through 13 countries.
10
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:49,049
From Ushuaia, in and out of Argentina
and Chile, to the Atacama Desert,
11
00:00:49,132 --> 00:00:52,386
heading up to La Paz
before we cross Lake Titicaca,
12
00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:56,265
continuing along the Andes to Colombia,
over to Panama,
13
00:00:56,348 --> 00:01:01,478
through Central America and Mexico,
arriving in Los Angeles 100 days later.
14
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:04,480
We're gonna give these guys video cameras,
15
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:08,026
and they're also gonna have cameras
with microphones on their crash helmets
16
00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:09,736
so they can film themselves
as they're riding along.
17
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:13,240
Is this a road? Oh, my God!
18
00:01:13,657 --> 00:01:15,701
A third motorcycle will travel with them,
19
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:17,077
and on it will be Claudio, our cameraman.
20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,289
In addition, Russ and I will travel
in two electric pickup trucks,
21
00:01:20,372 --> 00:01:21,957
along with cameramen Jimmy,
22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,752
Anthony and Taylor,
who will also help with logistics.
23
00:01:25,836 --> 00:01:27,504
We'll be filming the guys
from the vehicles,
24
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,131
linking up with them at borders,
25
00:01:29,214 --> 00:01:32,176
but otherwise,
the motorcycles will be on their own.
26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,393
-It doesn't look warm.
-Doesn't look very warm.
27
00:01:42,561 --> 00:01:43,520
They've all got snowboards.
28
00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:47,524
But as we came in, all the snow was,
like, more than halfway up the mountain.
29
00:01:47,608 --> 00:01:49,610
And all the roads are down in the valleys.
30
00:01:49,693 --> 00:01:52,029
So, I don't think
there was snow lower than...
31
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:53,947
-Right.
-...the top third of the mountains.
32
00:01:54,031 --> 00:01:56,408
Oh, yeah.
There's literally snow out there.
33
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,243
Or is it just white concrete?
34
00:01:58,327 --> 00:01:59,411
No, it's white concrete.
35
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:01,330
-Yeah, don't--
-Okay, I'm not paranoid.
36
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:04,666
I'm not panicking.
I'm not panicking. I'm calm. I'm calm.
37
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:08,544
This is the hard bit, getting this trolley
to the car, not getting the bike to LA.
38
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:12,132
-Look. There's a Rivian. Quiet.
-It's so quiet. Nice.
39
00:02:12,216 --> 00:02:14,134
It's a miracle these cars are here,
40
00:02:14,218 --> 00:02:16,470
considering they were
only being put together last week.
41
00:02:16,553 --> 00:02:18,222
How's it going? How was the flight in?
42
00:02:18,305 --> 00:02:20,265
-All right, mate. How are you?
-Fantastic.
43
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:23,143
Oh, my God. You got some tech in here.
44
00:02:23,227 --> 00:02:26,480
It was great to see
and get a ride in the Rivians.
45
00:02:26,563 --> 00:02:29,566
It was nice to see how excited
David was with the cars
46
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:32,611
and how amazing those guys are
that put those cars together
47
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:34,196
sort of super quick for us.
48
00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:36,698
No one has ever
driven one of these before.
49
00:02:36,782 --> 00:02:38,450
This is a total prototype.
50
00:02:38,534 --> 00:02:43,038
Rivian built these two electric trucks
especially for this trip.
51
00:02:43,121 --> 00:02:44,331
We going in with you, Dave?
52
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:46,542
He does not want to be filmed
because it's his first time.
53
00:02:46,625 --> 00:02:48,794
Do I move immediately
or do I have to hit the brake?
54
00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:50,462
-You have to hit the brake.
-All cameras all the time.
55
00:02:50,546 --> 00:02:51,505
Okay, so brake and hold it.
56
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:54,341
-Talk to me. What are you thinking?
-I'm losing my Riv-ginity right now.
57
00:02:54,842 --> 00:02:55,843
Can you believe it?
58
00:02:55,926 --> 00:02:58,095
So what were you saying, Bhush?
This is the truth.
59
00:02:58,178 --> 00:03:05,018
This is the very first car of Rivian.
VIN number 000001.
60
00:03:05,102 --> 00:03:09,439
And I am glad to be picked up
in Rivian that I built...
61
00:03:10,816 --> 00:03:12,276
four days ago.
62
00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:15,070
-Park, reverse, neutral and drive.
-What is this?
63
00:03:15,153 --> 00:03:16,029
We're here!
64
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:19,199
Let's warm up the tires.
65
00:03:19,283 --> 00:03:20,868
-Who's that?
-Was that you?
66
00:03:20,951 --> 00:03:22,578
-No.
-Yes, I think it was.
67
00:03:22,661 --> 00:03:24,204
-It was.
-I didn't touch the horn.
68
00:03:24,288 --> 00:03:27,332
The horn is near your right knee. So--
69
00:03:29,251 --> 00:03:30,919
-It's right here.
-The horn's on your knee?
70
00:03:31,003 --> 00:03:32,129
Yeah.
71
00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:33,422
That's awesome.
72
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,227
This heavy snow
is not what we were hoping for.
73
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:54,484
We've come down at the end of winter,
74
00:03:54,568 --> 00:03:56,195
and then it's just dumped.
75
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:57,529
Oh, man. That's ice.
76
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:03,744
And we're in a predicament now
77
00:04:03,827 --> 00:04:07,873
where we're not even sure
if it's safe enough to ride the bikes.
78
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:12,127
And it makes Max, our local producer,
really nervous about starting the trip.
79
00:04:12,211 --> 00:04:14,505
I guess I don't even think
that they really know...
80
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,466
what they're gonna face
with the performance,
81
00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:18,841
especially the wind against.
82
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:23,388
I mean, there's some stories
of cars flipping with the winds.
83
00:04:23,472 --> 00:04:28,227
And perhaps they haven't realized that
the wind can be against you all the time.
84
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:32,064
So the performance of these bikes,
plus, I don't know,
85
00:04:32,147 --> 00:04:36,944
the type of roads,
ice, snow, cold, altitude
86
00:04:37,027 --> 00:04:39,321
could make the whole game different,
right?
87
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:40,239
Yeah.
88
00:04:40,781 --> 00:04:43,283
-My dad yesterday.
-What did he say?
89
00:04:43,367 --> 00:04:44,618
"Well, you might have looked at the--
90
00:04:44,701 --> 00:04:47,287
You might have looked at the weather
before you went down there."
91
00:04:47,371 --> 00:04:48,956
-I just started lying to him.
-We did look!
92
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:52,334
I went, "Yeah, we looked.
It was spring, and it is spring here.
93
00:04:52,417 --> 00:04:55,254
It was just a freak snowstorm."
Lying, just lying.
94
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:58,465
'Cause I felt, "He's right.
Should've looked at the weather."
95
00:05:04,012 --> 00:05:05,556
So many people do this trip,
96
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,766
you know, from north to south
and they end here.
97
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:10,227
And it's like
they talk about this funny town
98
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:13,188
that they get to the end of the journey
and they're here, you know.
99
00:05:13,272 --> 00:05:15,899
You walk around. It's an odd little place.
It's cool, though.
100
00:05:15,983 --> 00:05:18,694
You don't happen upon this place
by chance.
101
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:21,822
You know what I mean? You're not--
You don't bump into Ushuaia by accident.
102
00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:25,242
So it's got a funny, interesting vibe
about it, which I really like.
103
00:05:28,412 --> 00:05:30,289
We're super excited to see the bikes,
104
00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:33,584
which, like the Rivians, have been shipped
thousands of miles to meet us.
105
00:05:35,377 --> 00:05:36,545
Dos, tres.
106
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:39,214
Cool, they're brilliant.
107
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:42,384
Well, here we are in South America.
Unbelievable.
108
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,178
Thank you, by the way,
for all that effort.
109
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:46,096
-It's been quite a journey.
-It's been a journey.
110
00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:48,390
They left Milwaukee on...
111
00:05:49,141 --> 00:05:51,310
-a week ago Wednesday.
-Wow.
112
00:05:51,393 --> 00:05:53,520
Oh, my God! It's so great, isn't it?
113
00:05:53,604 --> 00:05:55,564
It's so nice to be working on something.
114
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:57,316
I think that's good.
115
00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:00,444
We are in Ushuaia. Yeah. First time.
116
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:03,530
It's taken me about three weeks
to be able to say Ushuaia properly.
117
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:10,454
-Winging the other one over.
-This is it.
118
00:06:13,832 --> 00:06:15,209
All right.
119
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:17,336
-She's alive.
-Okay.
120
00:06:18,754 --> 00:06:20,172
Watch the paint.
121
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:25,260
Okay.
122
00:06:25,802 --> 00:06:28,222
They make it look so easy
on television, don't they?
123
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:31,683
If you're trying this at home,
what I would recommend to do...
124
00:06:32,684 --> 00:06:37,231
is walk away, have a cup of tea,
and then sneak up on it...
125
00:06:39,274 --> 00:06:41,985
when it's not expecting it,
and then get it on.
126
00:06:42,069 --> 00:06:45,489
If the bike doesn't know you're coming,
it will go on much easier.
127
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:47,574
-So I took, Ewan-- these come off.
-You have to take that out.
128
00:06:47,658 --> 00:06:50,202
-We did this just for shipping.
-Okay, That's why I'm--
129
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:51,370
-Yeah, yeah.
-That's why.
130
00:06:51,453 --> 00:06:53,872
I was thinking, "Am I stupid here?"
131
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:57,125
Nobody answered that question.
No, it was very quiet.
132
00:06:57,918 --> 00:07:01,797
This Sprinter's cutting edge and is gonna
help carry some of the filming gear.
133
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,799
-It's so cool, man.
-It's just amazing.
134
00:07:03,882 --> 00:07:08,387
Watching the solar panels come out.
Oh, my God. That is amazing.
135
00:07:08,804 --> 00:07:10,222
I'm positioning my bell.
136
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:12,516
This is a good luck bell
that we were given
137
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:16,061
by the chief designer for Harley-Davidson
in Milwaukee.
138
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:18,730
It's to dispel the road demons, you know.
139
00:07:18,814 --> 00:07:22,276
The road nasty demons.
But I wanna put it under here.
140
00:07:22,359 --> 00:07:25,946
-Okay, let's make a little wager.
-What? Who's gonna break this?
141
00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:30,576
Now, how many days riding will it be
until this indicator is hanging down?
142
00:07:30,659 --> 00:07:32,995
How long will it take me
to break an indicator?
143
00:07:33,078 --> 00:07:34,872
-What do you think?
-I'm gonna say...
144
00:07:36,874 --> 00:07:38,083
an hour.
145
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:41,795
-Looks good, Ewan.
-I've seen them all my life.
146
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:43,172
Couriers in London, you know?
147
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:45,382
I'll tell you what.
With that snow outside, you know--
148
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:48,051
I'm gonna be so thankful.
That was my idea.
149
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:49,178
I--
150
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:51,972
Just want that to go on the record.
151
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:55,100
So every day
when your hands are nice and warm
152
00:07:55,184 --> 00:07:57,227
-you can say, "Aw, Ewan."
-I love you, Ewan.
153
00:07:57,311 --> 00:07:59,062
"Mate, thanks for that.
Thanks for the warmer idea."
154
00:07:59,146 --> 00:08:01,064
-Thank you.
-The bikes look great.
155
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:05,152
So we're gonna celebrate with a meal
Argentina is famous for, asado.
156
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:12,451
-Here we go, men.
-Oh, my God.
157
00:08:13,035 --> 00:08:13,869
There you go.
158
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:16,955
You have the lamb here,
a little bit of each part of the animal.
159
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:20,709
-Wow. Okay. I'm just going in, Charley.
-Go in.
160
00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:27,549
Wow. Melting in your mouth.
161
00:08:27,633 --> 00:08:31,261
Some sauces, typical sauces.
The green one is chimichurri.
162
00:08:31,345 --> 00:08:32,179
-Okay. All right.
-Exactly. Yeah.
163
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:34,097
And the other one
is a mix of onions and peppers.
164
00:08:34,181 --> 00:08:35,015
Bon appétit.
165
00:08:35,097 --> 00:08:36,099
Did he say chili?
166
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:40,312
-Chimi chimi churri churri.
-Churri chili. Chimi churrie.
167
00:08:40,395 --> 00:08:43,398
Did Charley tell you he was runner-up
in Celebrity Master Chef?
168
00:08:43,482 --> 00:08:45,734
-Yeah.
-And he did the Dakar Rally.
169
00:08:45,817 --> 00:08:46,944
Yes, I did.
170
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:50,322
We're gonna talk to Rachel about charging.
171
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:53,951
The bikes need a level-one charge,
the basic charge off a household plug,
172
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:55,327
to really make the trip work.
173
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:57,496
Oh, God, it's snowing again. That's great.
174
00:09:02,668 --> 00:09:04,962
"Salon de Eventos."
Sounds like us, doesn't it?
175
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:06,046
That sounds like us.
176
00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:11,677
So these bikes,
we have multiple connectors.
177
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,640
Turn this on. Charger in there.
And so it's going to a level three.
178
00:09:16,723 --> 00:09:19,309
So we have two of these,
so one for each bike.
179
00:09:19,393 --> 00:09:20,853
But when we don't have--
180
00:09:20,936 --> 00:09:23,355
When we're not with you guys,
and we don't have the box.
181
00:09:23,438 --> 00:09:24,731
This is gonna go with you.
182
00:09:24,815 --> 00:09:27,442
We can't lug this thing
all the way to Los Angeles.
183
00:09:27,526 --> 00:09:30,320
It's gonna be impossible to put it
on the back of the bike.
184
00:09:30,404 --> 00:09:34,908
For us, just to be transparent,
if we can't--
185
00:09:34,992 --> 00:09:40,455
If we don't have level one,
then the bikes don't suit us for the trip.
186
00:09:43,709 --> 00:09:50,132
You know, we were coming here in the taxi,
having a bit of a giggle and a laugh,
187
00:09:50,215 --> 00:09:51,967
and, you know, having a nice afternoon.
188
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:55,345
And we were gonna test the bikes
this afternoon.
189
00:09:55,429 --> 00:09:57,931
But, you know, they were--
They had other things--
190
00:09:58,015 --> 00:10:01,518
They needed to do stuff
and get things done.
191
00:10:01,602 --> 00:10:03,187
And so we came over here.
192
00:10:03,270 --> 00:10:06,315
And in the classic kind of sort of,
you know...
193
00:10:07,482 --> 00:10:11,612
let's not worry anybody
by not saying anything to anybody.
194
00:10:11,695 --> 00:10:16,033
The whole idea of choosing to go electric
was so difficult for us
195
00:10:16,116 --> 00:10:19,578
because we wanted to preserve
the experience of the trip
196
00:10:19,661 --> 00:10:23,040
without it becoming only about charging
the motorbike and the cars.
197
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:26,502
But we decided to push ahead because
we thought, well, we'd have options and--
198
00:10:26,585 --> 00:10:31,006
Yeah, we always knew we'd mainly
be charging from people's houses,
199
00:10:31,089 --> 00:10:35,385
or cafés or, you know,
just plugging into a wall somewhere.
200
00:10:35,469 --> 00:10:37,554
That was the main way
we were gonna charge,
201
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:41,642
with the opportunity to fast charge from
these stage-two chargers now and again.
202
00:10:41,725 --> 00:10:44,520
But if that doesn't work,
if the stage one doesn't work...
203
00:10:46,104 --> 00:10:49,525
on these bikes, we can't do the trip
on those bikes. I mean, we can't.
204
00:10:49,608 --> 00:10:54,821
Today it just got a little nutty
because, you know,
205
00:10:54,905 --> 00:10:57,449
Harley doesn't wanna say,
and I understand why--
206
00:10:57,533 --> 00:10:59,409
They haven't done proper testing.
207
00:10:59,493 --> 00:11:04,581
They don't wanna say that
level-one charging is 100% reliable yet.
208
00:11:05,207 --> 00:11:06,041
It's too early.
209
00:11:06,124 --> 00:11:08,043
They haven't started
selling these bikes yet.
210
00:11:08,585 --> 00:11:11,588
So, I know, I mean--
211
00:11:11,672 --> 00:11:15,217
I know Charley and Ewan are both--
They're concerned anyway.
212
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,846
Even if they were going on, you know,
petrol or gasoline bikes
213
00:11:18,929 --> 00:11:22,057
they'd be concerned just because
of the nature of a trip like this.
214
00:11:22,140 --> 00:11:25,727
But there are just so many variables here,
you know. Everything is a prototype.
215
00:11:25,811 --> 00:11:27,771
The team is trying to put it together,
216
00:11:27,855 --> 00:11:29,940
but maybe it's just too early
to pull this off.
217
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:32,609
I can't sleep.
218
00:11:34,236 --> 00:11:37,531
I'm having all these,
like, second thoughts.
219
00:11:37,614 --> 00:11:41,451
Like, maybe we should've
gone with conventional bikes.
220
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:47,332
It would be so disappointing
if we couldn't make the electric.
221
00:11:52,379 --> 00:11:55,132
Three twenty-two now. Still can't sleep.
222
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:58,719
The guy next door is snoring like a--
Listen.
223
00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:01,722
You can hear him.
224
00:12:03,807 --> 00:12:04,850
In the middle of the night,
225
00:12:04,933 --> 00:12:07,352
things just go around your brain,
don't they?
226
00:12:07,436 --> 00:12:08,645
They just roll around.
227
00:12:08,729 --> 00:12:11,273
What if the bikes don't work?
What if we can't charge the bikes?
228
00:12:11,356 --> 00:12:15,068
What if it snows tomorrow?
Just wanna go to sleep.
229
00:12:21,617 --> 00:12:23,452
Things could be going our way today.
230
00:12:23,535 --> 00:12:24,995
Harley might have a solution.
231
00:12:25,495 --> 00:12:28,373
There's one little part
of the Harley's charging system
232
00:12:28,457 --> 00:12:31,293
that they want to replace,
just to make it more robust.
233
00:12:31,376 --> 00:12:34,463
But it's not here in Ushuaia,
so we've got to wait for that part.
234
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:36,882
It's like the key to the motorcycle.
235
00:12:36,965 --> 00:12:39,343
It makes no sense, I know,
but it's this little piece--
236
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:44,348
It's an upgrade to the bike
to allow it to charge, right?
237
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:46,934
These are electric motorcycles,
as you know.
238
00:12:47,017 --> 00:12:50,854
And without this little piece,
we can't start the trip.
239
00:12:50,938 --> 00:12:53,649
And the guys
are starting to lose their minds.
240
00:12:53,732 --> 00:12:55,442
Can you see me now?
241
00:12:57,736 --> 00:12:59,821
I think it's old guys
with modern technology,
242
00:12:59,905 --> 00:13:01,323
but it does feel quite heavy.
243
00:13:01,406 --> 00:13:03,909
-It is heavy, yeah.
-Yeah, it does feel very heavy.
244
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:07,079
You just have to take
that teaspoon full of cement...
245
00:13:07,162 --> 00:13:09,206
-That's what she said.
-...and harden up.
246
00:13:09,957 --> 00:13:13,460
Held up another day.
So we're gonna go check out the town.
247
00:13:13,544 --> 00:13:15,754
I bet they're gonna have things
that keep you warm.
248
00:13:16,088 --> 00:13:18,632
They're not gonna
do any shorts here, are they?
249
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:22,219
-That's a nice color.
-I've not got a hat color.
250
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:24,429
I'm not a hat man. You know what I mean?
251
00:13:25,055 --> 00:13:26,557
And I've got a short neck.
252
00:13:27,683 --> 00:13:29,893
You can get this one with diamantés.
253
00:13:30,978 --> 00:13:32,563
Let's see. That's quite good.
254
00:13:32,646 --> 00:13:34,940
-That gray good?
-Yeah. That's a nice color on you.
255
00:13:35,023 --> 00:13:36,483
Brings out your eyes. Let's see your eyes.
256
00:13:36,567 --> 00:13:38,735
Wow. Look at those steely blues.
257
00:13:39,653 --> 00:13:41,280
I've noticed this the other day.
258
00:13:43,073 --> 00:13:45,701
-Cake shop. Look.
-What are those called? Chimichurris?
259
00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:47,452
Chimichurris, yeah.
260
00:13:47,536 --> 00:13:48,787
Chimichurri, yeah.
261
00:13:48,871 --> 00:13:52,165
But isn't the sauce you put
on a meat called chimichurri as well?
262
00:13:52,249 --> 00:13:54,710
No, they're not chimichurri.
These are those things--
263
00:13:54,793 --> 00:13:56,295
-You get them in Mexico as well.
-Churi-chimmies.
264
00:13:56,378 --> 00:13:57,546
Chewy churi-chimie.
265
00:13:57,629 --> 00:14:00,048
I think-- I think they're called churros.
266
00:14:00,132 --> 00:14:01,884
-Doughnuts in a line.
-Yeah.
267
00:14:02,467 --> 00:14:05,596
Let's head back.
Rachel's got something to show us.
268
00:14:06,972 --> 00:14:09,892
Last night, we got the level-one parts
and we tested them.
269
00:14:09,975 --> 00:14:11,643
Everything went spectacularly.
270
00:14:11,727 --> 00:14:14,938
First thing we did
was test using the juice box.
271
00:14:15,022 --> 00:14:18,775
It's a level-one AC charge for us.
Good news is, it works.
272
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:20,152
-Well done.
-Thank you.
273
00:14:20,235 --> 00:14:22,905
-Thank you for everything you've done.
-My gosh. You've done an amazing job.
274
00:14:22,988 --> 00:14:24,781
-Yeah, thank you very much.
-Thank you.
275
00:14:30,078 --> 00:14:32,122
We've got different options for charging.
276
00:14:32,206 --> 00:14:34,583
We can charge the bikes in a fast charger,
277
00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:36,877
and there are some being put
in along our route,
278
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,589
which will remain there as a
sort of Long Way Up legacy, if you like.
279
00:14:40,672 --> 00:14:46,094
The sort of
crises of the charging system on the bike,
280
00:14:46,178 --> 00:14:48,472
I think it's lessened today.
281
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:50,933
I feel a bit embarrassed,
to be honest, that...
282
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:54,102
I made such a, sort of...
283
00:14:55,521 --> 00:14:58,190
I have to be calm in these situations,
284
00:14:58,273 --> 00:15:01,693
and I feel like yesterday I was
a bit not calm in that situation, and--
285
00:15:02,778 --> 00:15:07,199
I think a lot of our anxieties
are just being driven by the fact
286
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:09,451
that it's a bit of the unknown, you know?
287
00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:12,579
I want to start the journey.
I want to get cracking now.
288
00:15:21,296 --> 00:15:22,589
We're in Ushuaia here,
289
00:15:22,673 --> 00:15:24,591
and we have to ride
to the end of the road.
290
00:15:24,675 --> 00:15:27,511
There's a car park, which is where
most people who are going north to south
291
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:30,097
end their journey.
It's the end of the road, really.
292
00:15:30,514 --> 00:15:31,932
And by lunch time, by midday,
293
00:15:32,015 --> 00:15:35,561
we're gonna push off
and get this trip started.
294
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,609
Happy as Larry.
295
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:46,488
I don't know who Larry is
or why he's happy. I have no idea.
296
00:15:46,572 --> 00:15:49,366
But in Britain, that's-- When we're happy,
we're happy as Larry.
297
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:52,452
Give him a mission. He loves it, you know?
298
00:15:56,456 --> 00:15:58,417
I think we might actually be heading out.
299
00:16:01,128 --> 00:16:03,130
We might actually
turn a wheel on this bike.
300
00:16:04,131 --> 00:16:05,132
Bhush, push.
301
00:16:06,884 --> 00:16:09,136
You're mobile.
You're the first person mobile.
302
00:16:09,595 --> 00:16:11,597
-Can you hear me, Ewan?
-Yep, I can hear you.
303
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,848
Okay. Brilliant.
304
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:17,144
My kids gave me this before I left.
Jamyan and Anouk. That's for good luck.
305
00:16:18,228 --> 00:16:22,691
The great thing about having to deal
with all of the other things
306
00:16:22,774 --> 00:16:25,360
is you never have to think
about the thing you have to do.
307
00:16:25,444 --> 00:16:28,655
So, like, five minutes ago,
I was like, "Oh, holy shit.
308
00:16:28,739 --> 00:16:31,116
You also have to drive
the very first Rivian
309
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,242
that's ever been made."
310
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:35,954
Okay.
311
00:16:36,038 --> 00:16:37,706
It feels good to be moving.
312
00:16:37,789 --> 00:16:40,292
Oh, God, it does.
I feel very, as you say--
313
00:16:40,375 --> 00:16:42,544
This feels very squirmy at the moment.
314
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,467
We went down to the very bottom
of the road in Tierra del Fuego,
315
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:52,596
we drove southwest
and we went all the way to the car park.
316
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,975
And the car park that I've seen
so many times in blogs and trip logs
317
00:16:57,059 --> 00:16:59,394
of people who have done
this Pan-American Highway
318
00:16:59,478 --> 00:17:03,315
from Alaska to South America
and who have done it north to south.
319
00:17:03,398 --> 00:17:05,733
That's the car park
where they end their trip.
320
00:17:07,736 --> 00:17:10,030
How's my hair look?
321
00:17:11,114 --> 00:17:12,741
Where is makeup and hair, by the way?
322
00:17:13,617 --> 00:17:15,368
Here we go.
323
00:17:15,452 --> 00:17:18,038
It's a bit like we've made it
to the end of the trip.
324
00:17:18,121 --> 00:17:19,623
It feels like a celebration.
325
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:21,834
But we actually just made it
to the beginning of the trip.
326
00:17:21,916 --> 00:17:23,836
So, Ewan, so we've got...
327
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:28,089
-We've got like 15,000 miles to go.
-Yeah.
328
00:17:28,173 --> 00:17:29,174
And...
329
00:17:29,258 --> 00:17:31,343
Well, I feel like
we've sort of achieved it, you know.
330
00:17:31,426 --> 00:17:33,804
We got down here.
We rode to the end of the road.
331
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:35,973
-I'm good. So good luck.
-Okay. Thank you.
332
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:37,850
And I'll see you back up there.
I'll get the kettle on.
333
00:17:37,933 --> 00:17:39,893
-See you in LA. Okay. Bye.
-Okay, cheers.
334
00:17:43,105 --> 00:17:44,356
This is the proper start.
335
00:17:44,439 --> 00:17:46,525
So we're in the bottom
of the world where--
336
00:17:46,608 --> 00:17:47,901
Look at all the kids. Look.
337
00:17:47,985 --> 00:17:49,278
-Good luck!
-Hi!
338
00:17:55,450 --> 00:17:57,327
That's hilarious, isn't it?
339
00:17:58,537 --> 00:18:01,206
It feels like we've achieved something
by getting here.
340
00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:02,124
But-- And we have.
341
00:18:02,207 --> 00:18:03,792
Because it's quite difficult
to get down here.
342
00:18:03,876 --> 00:18:06,211
We've been waiting three
or four days, but-- Yeah.
343
00:18:06,295 --> 00:18:07,796
-But now we gotta do the trip.
-Si.
344
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,593
-Good luck, my good friend.
-You too, Charley. Good luck.
345
00:18:12,676 --> 00:18:15,470
I couldn't be happier than to be doing
another one with you. It's great.
346
00:18:15,929 --> 00:18:17,389
-I know.
-I just think it's great.
347
00:18:20,017 --> 00:18:21,226
Here we go, mate.
348
00:18:21,310 --> 00:18:24,271
-Okay, here we go. Yeah.
-Unless you wanna do a little handshake.
349
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:26,440
Yeah. Well--
350
00:18:27,608 --> 00:18:28,942
I was gonna stop.
351
00:18:30,652 --> 00:18:33,322
-I love you, my good friend.
-I love you too, babe. Let's go.
352
00:18:33,405 --> 00:18:34,406
-Okay.
-Let's do it.
353
00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:58,138
Got the visor open.
That beautiful fresh air in my face.
354
00:18:58,222 --> 00:19:00,933
-Yeah, it's lovely.
-Feels so good to be moving away.
355
00:19:01,350 --> 00:19:04,269
Well, this is us on the road, Charley.
This is us on the way, man.
356
00:19:04,353 --> 00:19:06,522
I know. My God.
357
00:19:07,314 --> 00:19:10,192
All those months
of sort of thinking about it and...
358
00:19:10,275 --> 00:19:12,653
-Yeah.
-...wondering what it would be like and--
359
00:19:12,736 --> 00:19:14,821
-Yeah, here we are.
-And here we are.
360
00:19:35,259 --> 00:19:40,514
It's like an enchanting start from
the very beginning of the journey.
361
00:19:40,597 --> 00:19:43,016
Surrounded by snowy mountains,
362
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:47,145
and little sea inlets
and beautiful forests.
363
00:19:47,229 --> 00:19:49,398
It couldn't have been
more enchanting, really.
364
00:19:49,481 --> 00:19:51,191
It was absolutely beautiful.
365
00:20:02,327 --> 00:20:06,081
That mountain ahead is like from
the Alpen cereal package. Remember that?
366
00:20:06,164 --> 00:20:07,875
-Oh, God, yeah.
-Looks like that.
367
00:20:07,958 --> 00:20:09,877
Jesus. Look at that. Alpen.
368
00:20:11,003 --> 00:20:13,505
Well, here we are.
We're on the way. We're out of Ushuaia.
369
00:20:14,131 --> 00:20:17,217
We're on the road, the open road.
We're climbing up and up.
370
00:20:17,926 --> 00:20:21,889
The mountains are
just extraordinary. Just extraordinary.
371
00:20:21,972 --> 00:20:24,850
We're on an island,
which makes it even more interesting.
372
00:20:24,933 --> 00:20:27,102
It's cold, but it's pretty beautiful.
373
00:20:27,186 --> 00:20:30,230
And the road feels good under the bike.
And I'm just full of...
374
00:20:31,023 --> 00:20:36,236
the joys of being on the trip at last
and having broken away.
375
00:20:36,612 --> 00:20:39,823
And the scenery is spectacular.
Oh, my God.
376
00:20:39,907 --> 00:20:44,286
I felt really, like,
such excitement today and it was awesome.
377
00:20:44,369 --> 00:20:47,164
And then we got this new cabling system,
378
00:20:47,247 --> 00:20:50,000
which looks like it's gonna be
much easier for us.
379
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:53,462
So we've got real possibilities now.
Real possibilities.
380
00:21:03,263 --> 00:21:05,057
Well, it looks pretty amazing
381
00:21:05,140 --> 00:21:07,226
that we start the journey
with all this snow around.
382
00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:10,521
-I mean, it's crazy.
-The places that we end up, eh?
383
00:21:10,604 --> 00:21:11,980
-I know.
-You know?
384
00:21:14,525 --> 00:21:17,110
I'm just thinking I've never been
somewhere on my motorbike
385
00:21:17,194 --> 00:21:18,737
where people are skiing before.
386
00:21:18,820 --> 00:21:21,532
Wow. What a beautiful part of the world.
387
00:21:21,949 --> 00:21:23,909
It really is gorgeous, isn't it?
388
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:25,536
It's so funny.
389
00:21:25,619 --> 00:21:28,997
I'm just looking at you in this landscape
on the back of your bike.
390
00:21:29,498 --> 00:21:31,124
Just like old times, Charley.
391
00:21:34,253 --> 00:21:36,004
I mean, we've never charged these bikes.
392
00:21:36,088 --> 00:21:37,422
-Not ever, Charley.
-No, never.
393
00:21:37,506 --> 00:21:39,716
And we don't even know
if they're gonna work.
394
00:21:46,014 --> 00:21:48,809
-All right, look at that.
-It does look awesome.
395
00:21:49,393 --> 00:21:50,394
Look at that.
396
00:21:50,769 --> 00:21:52,437
Hope that this works.
397
00:21:53,230 --> 00:21:55,566
-Bikes off.
-This is the first one.
398
00:21:55,649 --> 00:21:56,692
The first one, man.
399
00:21:58,193 --> 00:21:59,903
That's amazing, isn't it?
400
00:22:00,863 --> 00:22:04,491
Is that we're gonna, you know--
Look at that bread lady there--
401
00:22:04,575 --> 00:22:05,784
Wow.
402
00:22:05,868 --> 00:22:08,203
It's that little--
It looks like a Cornish pasty.
403
00:22:08,287 --> 00:22:11,331
Sorry, I just got lost with the food.
I must be hungry.
404
00:22:11,415 --> 00:22:13,458
Do you think we just plug in,
or we have to ask someone or what?
405
00:22:13,542 --> 00:22:15,502
-Do you just think we do it?
-Think we should do it.
406
00:22:15,586 --> 00:22:17,254
Let's just see if everything is...
407
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:19,631
everything is up.
408
00:22:20,257 --> 00:22:23,427
Those are down.
Those should be up as well.
409
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:25,137
Well, let's see. Fingers crossed.
410
00:22:30,851 --> 00:22:33,228
-It's going up. Look. It's working.
-It's working.
411
00:22:33,312 --> 00:22:34,646
"Estimated time to full."
412
00:22:35,606 --> 00:22:39,860
Here, look.
Six hours and 56 minutes to full.
413
00:22:39,943 --> 00:22:41,653
-To full.
-Well, that's all right.
414
00:22:41,737 --> 00:22:43,739
How are you? Good to see you.
415
00:22:43,822 --> 00:22:45,240
-Claudio.
-That's Claudio.
416
00:22:45,324 --> 00:22:46,325
Claudio.
417
00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:48,327
Claudio as well.
418
00:22:49,953 --> 00:22:52,623
-Your father started the bakery?
-Yeah, my father alone.
419
00:22:52,706 --> 00:22:56,585
He came from--
from Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires.
420
00:22:56,668 --> 00:23:02,966
I give the idea to my father to put this
in this new world that it's coming.
421
00:23:03,050 --> 00:23:06,220
Healthy things to the-- to the...
422
00:23:06,303 --> 00:23:07,846
-To the planet, yeah.
-To the planet.
423
00:23:07,930 --> 00:23:09,348
-We need to make something.
-We need to change.
424
00:23:09,431 --> 00:23:10,432
We need to change it.
425
00:23:10,516 --> 00:23:13,268
-Yes. Yes, yes. Terrific idea, yes.
-I want, I-- Terrific idea.
426
00:23:13,352 --> 00:23:15,270
So do you think maybe
it's the first time--
427
00:23:15,354 --> 00:23:17,814
-It's the first time it's been used?
-Yes. Yes.
428
00:23:18,148 --> 00:23:20,442
-Yeah.
-So this is vegetarian.
429
00:23:20,526 --> 00:23:22,444
And that is...
430
00:23:24,404 --> 00:23:25,239
baked chicken.
431
00:23:26,532 --> 00:23:28,700
And that is fried chicken.
432
00:23:28,784 --> 00:23:31,662
Meat oven. Pretty cool.
Isn't that amazing?
433
00:23:31,745 --> 00:23:34,957
I mean, it really helps you out
if you're a foreigner like us.
434
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,083
Ladies.
435
00:23:36,959 --> 00:23:38,418
-Hola.
-Hola.
436
00:23:42,005 --> 00:23:43,465
Just wish we knew more Spanish.
437
00:23:43,549 --> 00:23:46,093
It's, like, very clear that
that's gonna be an issue.
438
00:23:48,303 --> 00:23:51,849
But I have been dreaming of a hot coffee
for quite a long time. It's quite cold.
439
00:23:51,932 --> 00:23:56,061
-Like, we did 50 miles. Pretty cold.
-Absolutely. Yeah, yeah.
440
00:23:56,979 --> 00:24:00,482
That's the cheese one. Okay.
441
00:24:01,441 --> 00:24:05,028
Every time we go charge,
we want to put a little sticker.
442
00:24:05,112 --> 00:24:06,780
-This is the name of our show.
-Like--
443
00:24:09,408 --> 00:24:10,242
Okay.
444
00:24:32,097 --> 00:24:34,474
Here we are on our way to Chile.
445
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:38,437
We've got the border crossing
just to come.
446
00:24:39,104 --> 00:24:42,566
And this landscape today
has been really flat and open.
447
00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:44,484
And we've been lucky
that we didn't get the winds,
448
00:24:44,568 --> 00:24:47,654
'cause apparently it's very, very often
that it's very windy.
449
00:24:47,738 --> 00:24:51,366
But it wasn't for us today.
And it's just freezing cold. That's all.
450
00:24:51,450 --> 00:24:53,785
But we're all bundled up
as best we can be.
451
00:24:58,498 --> 00:24:59,750
This is how we pack.
452
00:25:00,959 --> 00:25:04,671
We're in Argentina.
We're in, you know, an archipelago, right?
453
00:25:04,755 --> 00:25:06,715
There's a series of islands down here
454
00:25:06,798 --> 00:25:10,302
and we're hopscotching
from Argentina into Chile.
455
00:25:10,385 --> 00:25:12,554
Then we'll come back
into Argentina soon enough.
456
00:25:12,638 --> 00:25:16,016
But we're heading to
a town called Punta Arenas.
457
00:25:31,323 --> 00:25:33,825
Look, we got two plugs here. So...
458
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:36,537
We could get them through the window.
459
00:25:39,498 --> 00:25:42,167
That should do the trick. Un momento.
460
00:25:42,918 --> 00:25:43,919
Here we go.
461
00:25:46,505 --> 00:25:50,551
Argentina with Chile,
our first border crossing.
462
00:25:50,634 --> 00:25:52,052
I'm gonna switch my baby off.
463
00:25:53,053 --> 00:25:54,972
-Good to see ya. Good.
-How are you?
464
00:25:55,055 --> 00:25:56,765
-How are your toes?
-You all right?
465
00:25:56,849 --> 00:25:58,225
Yeah, fine. I'm all right, actually.
466
00:25:59,393 --> 00:26:01,061
Cool.
467
00:26:01,562 --> 00:26:03,146
All right. Let's go, then, to Chile.
468
00:26:06,108 --> 00:26:07,109
Do you have a passport?
469
00:26:07,651 --> 00:26:09,653
Is that a Chilean cat
or an Argentinian cat?
470
00:26:11,113 --> 00:26:14,658
Stamp my card now, stamping Ewan McGregor.
471
00:26:15,242 --> 00:26:16,702
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
472
00:26:18,412 --> 00:26:19,830
-How many more times...
-Four.
473
00:26:19,913 --> 00:26:21,290
...will we go in and out-- Really?
474
00:26:21,373 --> 00:26:22,708
-Yeah.
-Yes.
475
00:26:24,835 --> 00:26:28,130
We're going to enter Chile
four more times?
476
00:26:28,213 --> 00:26:30,966
-That can't be possible. No.
-No. We are going to enter Chile--
477
00:26:31,049 --> 00:26:34,136
-Twice.
-We are entering Chile now, one.
478
00:26:34,219 --> 00:26:35,470
We're exiting Chile.
479
00:26:35,554 --> 00:26:38,849
So we will meet him at the border again
when you enter in Argentina.
480
00:26:38,932 --> 00:26:40,851
-That's what I was counting.
-I understand.
481
00:26:40,934 --> 00:26:44,646
Then we will get out and get in.
Yeah. Two more entering to Chile.
482
00:26:44,730 --> 00:26:46,732
-And we have to see Claudio each time?
-Couple more.
483
00:26:46,815 --> 00:26:47,900
-Can't get through to Superman...
-The true hero.
484
00:26:47,983 --> 00:26:50,194
...can't get through to Batman,
you call Claudio.
485
00:26:50,277 --> 00:26:51,195
Let's go, Claudio.
486
00:26:52,237 --> 00:26:55,157
-I know, it's really nice. Very nice.
-Si. Big one.
487
00:26:56,950 --> 00:26:58,493
It's got a very-- There you go.
488
00:26:58,577 --> 00:27:01,830
And apparently you have to pass it
on the left. Sure.
489
00:27:02,289 --> 00:27:04,124
Yeah. Look at that.
490
00:27:05,501 --> 00:27:07,503
This comes from the Misiones province.
491
00:27:07,586 --> 00:27:08,587
Gracias. Yeah.
492
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:12,174
From Misiones, on the Brazilian border.
493
00:27:12,257 --> 00:27:13,800
Over there we drink a lot of maté tea.
494
00:27:14,259 --> 00:27:15,969
En Brazil?
495
00:27:16,053 --> 00:27:18,263
Yes. Lots of maté.
496
00:27:18,847 --> 00:27:22,935
You put in the leaves,
pour hot water and then you drink it.
497
00:27:24,895 --> 00:27:26,897
It's a symbol of friendship.
498
00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:27,856
Gracias.
499
00:27:27,940 --> 00:27:32,819
Up here, along this road,
is a gravel road.
500
00:27:32,903 --> 00:27:35,322
And we've been on concrete roads so far,
tarmac roads...
501
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,115
all the while.
502
00:27:37,199 --> 00:27:41,328
And now we're about to go
onto gravel roads for the first time.
503
00:27:41,411 --> 00:27:43,539
A little bit of gravel action.
504
00:27:43,622 --> 00:27:46,792
I know. Isn't it crazy? Okay.
505
00:27:48,502 --> 00:27:50,504
What I was always told on this gravel
506
00:27:50,587 --> 00:27:52,714
is to have light hands on your handlebars.
507
00:27:53,215 --> 00:27:56,176
Light grip.
Almost as if you can play the piano.
508
00:27:56,260 --> 00:27:59,388
You know, you should be able
to wiggle your fingers a little bit.
509
00:27:59,471 --> 00:28:03,016
'Cause you gotta let the bike move
a little bit underneath you.
510
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:08,188
The more you hold it, the more it fights.
The bike wants to move under you.
511
00:28:08,272 --> 00:28:12,860
So if you're gripping really hard, then--
512
00:28:12,943 --> 00:28:15,696
The bike has to try
and move you as well, you know?
513
00:28:15,779 --> 00:28:19,074
And then, you know, look ahead,
far ahead as you can.
514
00:28:26,456 --> 00:28:28,375
We're gonna go
and see some penguins today,
515
00:28:28,458 --> 00:28:29,710
which I'm so excited about
516
00:28:29,793 --> 00:28:33,297
because I've never seen penguins
in the wild for reals.
517
00:28:38,677 --> 00:28:41,597
This is kind of
what I was sort of hoping for, really,
518
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,059
when I was thinking about Patagonia
and Chile and Argentina
519
00:28:46,143 --> 00:28:49,313
and all these places.
They're just beautiful.
520
00:28:59,448 --> 00:29:00,449
Real conundrum,
521
00:29:00,532 --> 00:29:03,493
'cause we're going to see the penguins
and we're down to 40 miles.
522
00:29:03,577 --> 00:29:05,454
And then after we've seen the penguins,
523
00:29:05,537 --> 00:29:09,082
we've got, like, 60 miles plus to get
to the place where we get the ferry.
524
00:29:09,166 --> 00:29:15,047
We didn't plug in the bikes straight away
when we got to the border.
525
00:29:15,130 --> 00:29:17,966
We're gonna charge the bikes
down here off the Sprinter van
526
00:29:18,050 --> 00:29:20,427
when we're looking at the penguins
for maybe an hour or two.
527
00:29:20,511 --> 00:29:22,888
But it's already four o'clock
and that makes it, like,
528
00:29:22,971 --> 00:29:24,473
six o'clock by the time we leave.
529
00:29:24,556 --> 00:29:27,267
And when the sun goes down,
it's really, really cold here.
530
00:29:27,351 --> 00:29:30,687
I think we definitely miscalculated
our charge.
531
00:29:30,771 --> 00:29:34,233
But the penguins will be amazing to see.
So, you know, there's that.
532
00:29:34,316 --> 00:29:35,817
Yeah.
533
00:29:47,037 --> 00:29:48,914
-Clump in here, right?
-So we're gonna disconnect this.
534
00:29:48,997 --> 00:29:51,875
We're plugging into here
'cause we got a solar panel here.
535
00:29:51,959 --> 00:29:55,629
So all the electricity that goes
into this comes from the sun.
536
00:29:56,046 --> 00:29:58,006
And then we're popping this puppy in here.
537
00:29:59,299 --> 00:30:03,220
And that goes in.
And hopefully it's charging.
538
00:30:03,846 --> 00:30:06,473
If we don't get a charge now,
we won't make the ferry,
539
00:30:06,557 --> 00:30:08,517
and we're gonna be stuck out here
in the cold.
540
00:30:09,059 --> 00:30:10,561
It's not charging, guys.
541
00:30:12,312 --> 00:30:14,648
No, no bueno. No bueno.
542
00:30:15,148 --> 00:30:18,777
I thought I lost my hat.
That would have been a disaster.
543
00:30:19,987 --> 00:30:21,655
Bad hair never looked so good.
544
00:30:24,366 --> 00:30:27,744
Yeah, that's the plug.
The fuse is tripping in the plug.
545
00:30:27,828 --> 00:30:29,162
Yeah.
546
00:30:29,246 --> 00:30:32,124
No, no. I just tripped the plug.
Now it should be.
547
00:30:32,207 --> 00:30:33,834
-Charging now?
-No.
548
00:30:33,917 --> 00:30:35,752
We couldn't charge off the solar panels,
549
00:30:35,836 --> 00:30:39,047
so let's see if we can charge
off Shirly's research station.
550
00:30:39,131 --> 00:30:40,841
This is our home here.
551
00:30:48,098 --> 00:30:50,475
Well, these are beautiful.
552
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:53,478
It's a really lovely bike to ride.
553
00:30:53,562 --> 00:30:55,689
-It's quiet. No noise.
-Yeah? It's quiet?
554
00:30:55,772 --> 00:30:58,859
-Yeah?
-And it's smooth. It's very nice.
555
00:30:58,942 --> 00:31:01,195
In ten years, no problem.
556
00:31:01,278 --> 00:31:02,946
-It's no problem.
-I think it's no problem.
557
00:31:03,030 --> 00:31:05,199
'Cause everybody will have
electric vehicles then.
558
00:31:05,282 --> 00:31:06,950
-But now...
-Yeah. Only starting.
559
00:31:07,034 --> 00:31:09,870
It's just starting, yeah.
We're a little ahead of the game.
560
00:31:10,370 --> 00:31:13,207
-This is nice.
-It's nice, isn't it?
561
00:31:13,290 --> 00:31:14,291
Tiny house.
562
00:31:15,501 --> 00:31:17,294
-Well, it won.
-Where are you?
563
00:31:17,377 --> 00:31:18,545
-Here.
-You're there?
564
00:31:18,629 --> 00:31:23,926
Remember we spoke about Chilean--
Pick up a Chilean adapter.
565
00:31:24,009 --> 00:31:24,843
Yeah.
566
00:31:24,927 --> 00:31:29,681
And we said, "Nah, we won't need one
because there'll be one at the hotel."
567
00:31:29,765 --> 00:31:30,766
Tell me when.
568
00:31:31,934 --> 00:31:33,352
-Okay.
-Good?
569
00:31:35,729 --> 00:31:37,981
Boom. Shake the room.
570
00:31:39,358 --> 00:31:42,069
Ewan, I don't think
those bikes are gonna charge.
571
00:31:42,152 --> 00:31:44,905
The power is-- It's all solar.
572
00:31:44,988 --> 00:31:47,157
So they're just running
off batteries as well.
573
00:31:47,824 --> 00:31:50,953
Pingüino Rey Natural Reserve
is a conservation initiative
574
00:31:51,036 --> 00:31:54,206
and the only colony of king penguins
in Latin America.
575
00:31:54,289 --> 00:31:55,624
This is king penguin.
576
00:31:55,707 --> 00:32:00,963
Because of the very long breeding cycle,
we can see them here the entire year.
577
00:32:01,046 --> 00:32:03,549
They have predators out there?
What eats them?
578
00:32:03,632 --> 00:32:08,053
They have not many predators
because it's not a very deep bay.
579
00:32:08,136 --> 00:32:08,971
Okay.
580
00:32:09,054 --> 00:32:10,889
-Wow.
-Little guys.
581
00:32:13,976 --> 00:32:14,977
Wow.
582
00:32:20,107 --> 00:32:23,151
That looks a bit like how I feel
on the bike in the cold.
583
00:32:23,235 --> 00:32:27,906
'Cause they're so--
They're like so, like, full of feathers.
584
00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:29,700
And I'm like,
that's how I feel on the bike,
585
00:32:29,783 --> 00:32:31,535
'cause it's like all these layers.
586
00:32:32,619 --> 00:32:36,456
Look at that baby one in the back.
It just looks all plumfed up.
587
00:32:36,540 --> 00:32:38,041
Plumfity-plumf.
588
00:32:38,959 --> 00:32:40,169
So...
589
00:32:41,879 --> 00:32:42,880
Yeah.
590
00:32:43,797 --> 00:32:46,717
We're gonna have to manage ourselves
a lot better than this.
591
00:32:47,176 --> 00:32:49,761
We got here. That's all that matters.
We're here.
592
00:32:49,845 --> 00:32:51,513
It's not getting there that's great.
593
00:32:53,015 --> 00:32:56,226
-So here's a little present from us.
-Gracias. Thank you so much.
594
00:32:56,310 --> 00:32:58,061
-You're welcome, Ewan.
-Thank you. Thank you.
595
00:32:58,145 --> 00:32:59,980
That's very kind.
I'll put it in my pocket.
596
00:33:00,063 --> 00:33:01,315
-Yeah, don't forget us.
-Gracias.
597
00:33:01,940 --> 00:33:05,152
The bikes haven't taken a charge,
so now we are a bit stuck.
598
00:33:07,571 --> 00:33:09,698
Time is of the essence
in terms of the heat.
599
00:33:09,781 --> 00:33:11,992
-Where were you guys going?
-We would have stayed here.
600
00:33:12,075 --> 00:33:13,619
-Yeah.
-I would have liked to, actually,
601
00:33:13,702 --> 00:33:15,662
'cause it would be
such a bonkers place to find yourself.
602
00:33:15,746 --> 00:33:16,955
-It would be lovely.
-But--
603
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:19,291
There was no charge going
in the bike at all.
604
00:33:19,374 --> 00:33:21,752
-Are the ferries not every hour then?
-No.
605
00:33:22,711 --> 00:33:24,796
So there's only one--
What times are the ferry?
606
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,798
There's one at 7:00 tonight
and one at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow.
607
00:33:26,882 --> 00:33:28,675
But we're finding out
if there's one before 2:00 p.m.
608
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:30,177
Okay. All right.
609
00:33:30,260 --> 00:33:32,930
There's a little hotel that's shut,
but it's ten miles up the road.
610
00:33:33,013 --> 00:33:34,389
Do you remember when we were coming down?
611
00:33:34,473 --> 00:33:37,059
I said, "There's a sign for a hotel."
It's that one.
612
00:33:37,851 --> 00:33:41,355
Because we lost three days in Ushuaia,
we have to get back on schedule.
613
00:33:41,772 --> 00:33:44,566
The trucks are gonna try
to make the ferry tonight.
614
00:33:44,650 --> 00:33:47,611
The bikes are hopefully gonna
find a place to charge en route.
615
00:33:54,451 --> 00:33:57,162
It was next to a big barn, right?
This place?
616
00:33:58,789 --> 00:34:01,458
And hopefully we can get
this hotel opened up for us,
617
00:34:01,542 --> 00:34:03,252
and then we can get a charge there.
618
00:34:03,794 --> 00:34:04,795
Yeah.
619
00:34:09,091 --> 00:34:13,637
I'm running out of battery on my charger.
We're running out of battery on the car.
620
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,181
We're running out of diesel
in the Sprinter.
621
00:34:17,349 --> 00:34:19,893
And we're running out of options
to where to stay.
622
00:34:19,976 --> 00:34:24,313
And the ferry goes in one hour.
That's a perfect storm.
623
00:34:25,774 --> 00:34:26,984
What a great outfit.
624
00:34:27,067 --> 00:34:29,235
Gracias. Gracias, amigo.
625
00:34:29,862 --> 00:34:31,071
-It's okay?
-It's okay.
626
00:34:32,614 --> 00:34:34,116
-Perfect.
-Okay.
627
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:35,534
And Carlos is inside waiting for you.
628
00:34:35,617 --> 00:34:38,161
-Thank you.
-Carlos.
629
00:34:38,704 --> 00:34:40,371
-The smell of fresh paint.
-Please.
630
00:34:40,455 --> 00:34:42,583
-Gracias. My name is Ewan.
-Carlos.
631
00:34:42,666 --> 00:34:44,001
Nice to meet you. Charley.
632
00:34:44,083 --> 00:34:46,587
Nice to meet you.
What a beautiful place you have.
633
00:34:46,670 --> 00:34:51,466
If we ride at 50 miles per hour,
we will just make it on time
634
00:34:51,550 --> 00:34:54,553
if we get the time
that I'm trying to buy from them.
635
00:34:54,636 --> 00:34:59,558
Talk to them on the radio.
But the radio is, like, almost out.
636
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:01,643
It's Los Angeles.
637
00:35:01,727 --> 00:35:05,189
Can you tell him we're very appreciative?
'Cause I know that you are not open.
638
00:35:05,272 --> 00:35:07,733
So we really are grateful
that you can put us up.
639
00:35:12,571 --> 00:35:15,073
-Okay. We need two.
-One...
640
00:35:15,157 --> 00:35:17,910
One there and there, okay.
I mean, go through the window?
641
00:35:18,577 --> 00:35:19,494
Okay.
642
00:35:19,578 --> 00:35:23,707
Any joy? All right, Charley. Give it a go.
643
00:35:23,790 --> 00:35:27,127
-It's better that this goes inside.
-Directo.
644
00:35:27,211 --> 00:35:29,171
Si, directo. Si.
645
00:35:31,048 --> 00:35:32,132
What was your name?
646
00:35:32,633 --> 00:35:34,510
-Nur. Tami Nur.
-Nur?
647
00:35:34,593 --> 00:35:36,595
-Yeah.
-Nur. Gracias, Nur.
648
00:35:38,722 --> 00:35:40,265
Yeah! We got a charge!
649
00:35:41,183 --> 00:35:43,435
Yes. Okay, good. Good.
650
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:45,103
-May the Force with you.
-Thank you, sir.
651
00:35:45,187 --> 00:35:46,188
May the Force be with you.
652
00:35:46,271 --> 00:35:49,983
This gentleman very kindly
let us stay in his hotel,
653
00:35:50,067 --> 00:35:52,277
which is, in fact, shut right now.
654
00:35:52,361 --> 00:35:55,155
And he's opened it up for us and we've--
655
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,658
Here, we've got Charley's bike
plugged in...
656
00:36:00,702 --> 00:36:02,329
and my bike plugged in.
657
00:36:03,914 --> 00:36:07,876
But the truth is I'm not sure
whether they're very good charges,
658
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,795
and I feel like probably they're not.
659
00:36:20,305 --> 00:36:22,808
You know what is
the cool part of being in a car
660
00:36:22,891 --> 00:36:26,395
that is about to die without battery
at this place of the world?
661
00:36:26,812 --> 00:36:28,814
That it makes you feel an explorer.
662
00:36:29,690 --> 00:36:30,524
Yeah.
663
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,026
What's your percentage?
664
00:36:34,027 --> 00:36:36,113
-I'm at nine, ten.
-We're one.
665
00:36:36,697 --> 00:36:38,156
So should we tow first, yeah?
666
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:40,033
Yeah, Russ, you get the first tow charge.
667
00:36:40,367 --> 00:36:42,870
It sounds like Dave and Russ
have their hands full
668
00:36:42,953 --> 00:36:45,038
and we're stuck in this very quirky hotel.
669
00:36:54,381 --> 00:36:58,260
That's the issue. There's doing it
for the good of the electric vehicles,
670
00:36:58,343 --> 00:37:02,973
and there's doing it for
the experience of, you know,
671
00:37:03,056 --> 00:37:06,351
adventure travel and there's the rub.
672
00:37:06,435 --> 00:37:08,187
I don't think we're gonna get out of here.
673
00:37:09,104 --> 00:37:10,314
-Alive.
-Alive.
674
00:37:12,149 --> 00:37:15,152
And this does have this kind of
slight feeling of, you know,
675
00:37:15,944 --> 00:37:17,529
of a horror movie, you know?
676
00:37:20,616 --> 00:37:24,077
Well, we've all run out of petrol,
and we've run out of battery.
677
00:37:25,579 --> 00:37:26,914
With ten miles to go.
678
00:37:26,997 --> 00:37:28,707
Then why don't we tow this one
that's dead?
679
00:37:28,790 --> 00:37:31,168
And I follow as long as I go and if I die,
you come back and get me.
680
00:37:31,251 --> 00:37:32,085
Okay.
681
00:37:32,169 --> 00:37:35,464
I'm just saying I came on
this big multi-country adventure
682
00:37:35,547 --> 00:37:37,007
without a travel plug.
683
00:37:37,090 --> 00:37:42,304
All this talk of electricity for years,
and I didn't come with a travel plug.
684
00:37:42,387 --> 00:37:43,639
What an idiot.
685
00:37:43,722 --> 00:37:48,894
At the moment, Ewan and Charley have
only got one Chilean adapter like that.
686
00:37:48,977 --> 00:37:49,978
I mean, we're learning.
687
00:37:50,062 --> 00:37:53,440
You know, we're taking a risk
with all this electric stuff and,
688
00:37:53,524 --> 00:37:56,735
you know, clearly, we've all run out
in the middle of nowhere.
689
00:37:57,486 --> 00:37:59,488
If we can get that back to the boys,
690
00:37:59,571 --> 00:38:01,949
then they can charge
their bikes up for tomorrow.
691
00:38:04,201 --> 00:38:05,994
-Yeah, it's cold, huh?
-Yeah.
692
00:38:06,078 --> 00:38:11,041
And it's really, really cold.
It's amazing how cold it is.
693
00:38:11,583 --> 00:38:13,168
A little bit cold.
694
00:38:13,502 --> 00:38:14,753
Yes, it's freezing.
695
00:38:15,087 --> 00:38:17,005
But you've got to breathe calmly.
696
00:38:21,468 --> 00:38:23,053
We cleared it of the ice here.
697
00:38:23,846 --> 00:38:26,098
I think this is far trickier
than we thought.
698
00:38:26,181 --> 00:38:28,308
The guys are stranded out there
in the cold,
699
00:38:28,392 --> 00:38:30,269
and we aren't having much luck either.
700
00:38:31,228 --> 00:38:32,813
I mean, I'm from Chicago.
701
00:38:33,647 --> 00:38:36,358
I shouldn't be cold,
but this is really cold.
702
00:38:41,154 --> 00:38:43,740
Really didn't think we'd have to
try out the emergency tow charge
703
00:38:43,824 --> 00:38:44,658
on day one.
704
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,248
Okay.
705
00:38:54,793 --> 00:38:56,879
That's interesting.
It's not coming out now.
706
00:38:58,755 --> 00:39:01,341
-No, it's shut down again.
-How's it going?
707
00:39:04,469 --> 00:39:06,513
Yeah, we're trying to understand
the limits of the vehicles.
708
00:39:06,597 --> 00:39:08,223
So we put them to the test.
709
00:39:08,307 --> 00:39:12,144
Not surprisingly, we're now
at the very bleeding edge.
710
00:39:12,227 --> 00:39:16,523
And, you know,
we're 11 miles away from our destination.
711
00:39:16,607 --> 00:39:18,192
A slight incline coming up.
712
00:39:23,030 --> 00:39:25,282
One goes there
and I'll bring in the other one.
713
00:39:25,365 --> 00:39:27,701
If you've got a--
If there is a blow heater,
714
00:39:28,452 --> 00:39:30,871
put the blow heater
up towards where the tank is.
715
00:39:30,954 --> 00:39:34,041
It's the cold that is--
that potentially could be bad.
716
00:39:34,124 --> 00:39:34,958
Okay.
717
00:39:35,042 --> 00:39:38,003
You think it's the cold?
That's why it won't charge?
718
00:39:41,215 --> 00:39:43,759
Never say never. Yes, we will.
719
00:39:44,259 --> 00:39:46,595
Well, are we ready? Is there two-- No.
720
00:39:47,513 --> 00:39:49,056
What about this carpet?
721
00:39:49,139 --> 00:39:51,308
-Yeah, they pull the carpets down, is it?
-Is it?
722
00:39:51,391 --> 00:39:52,851
Yeah. I think so.
723
00:39:52,935 --> 00:39:55,145
Do you want his bike on this carpet?
It's okay?
724
00:39:55,229 --> 00:39:56,605
It's okay.
725
00:39:56,688 --> 00:39:58,815
-It's very high for me.
-Yep, yep, yep.
726
00:40:01,318 --> 00:40:03,237
-Two, three.
-Yeah.
727
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,155
Okay. Okay.
728
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,200
-You're in. You are in.
-Okay.
729
00:40:08,283 --> 00:40:09,117
Okay.
730
00:40:12,746 --> 00:40:15,874
Okay. Yeah. I've got it here.
731
00:40:17,709 --> 00:40:19,753
-Beauty.
-Well done, everybody.
732
00:40:20,546 --> 00:40:23,465
Well, it's not fully frozen.
But it's quite frozen.
733
00:40:23,549 --> 00:40:25,050
Coffee as well?
734
00:40:29,513 --> 00:40:30,722
There you go.
735
00:40:31,974 --> 00:40:37,479
Think that's all I got.
So much for my optimism.
736
00:40:38,355 --> 00:40:41,191
-I'll let them know.
-Yeah, Bryan, I think that's it for me.
737
00:40:41,275 --> 00:40:42,943
Yeah, I'm out of charge.
738
00:40:44,027 --> 00:40:45,445
Do we need to put some--
739
00:40:45,529 --> 00:40:49,867
something underneath so that when
the ice melts it doesn't ruin the floor?
740
00:40:49,950 --> 00:40:51,326
Or are these carpets enough?
741
00:40:51,869 --> 00:40:54,371
Let's plug it in on this other circuit.
742
00:40:54,454 --> 00:40:56,915
They both came up, so they both turned on.
743
00:40:57,541 --> 00:41:00,002
-God, they're warming.
-Look, it's already melting.
744
00:41:00,085 --> 00:41:01,628
It's already warming up.
It's extraordinary.
745
00:41:01,712 --> 00:41:03,547
Come on. Mine's 28%.
746
00:41:03,630 --> 00:41:07,384
If it works, then we can
charge them from the house
747
00:41:07,467 --> 00:41:09,720
while the house is asleep, if you like.
748
00:41:09,803 --> 00:41:10,637
-Yeah.
-All night.
749
00:41:10,721 --> 00:41:12,431
And then by the time
we take them out in the morning,
750
00:41:12,514 --> 00:41:13,807
-it might be a bit more juicy.
-Yeah, okay.
751
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,811
I didn't want to take her to zero,
to be honest. But I did.
752
00:41:17,895 --> 00:41:19,396
And I guess, you know,
753
00:41:19,479 --> 00:41:22,774
relationships are defined by
how you handle difficult times,
754
00:41:22,858 --> 00:41:24,693
not by how you handle the good times.
755
00:41:25,444 --> 00:41:28,322
Chances are Ewan and Charley
aren't gonna be able to get a charge.
756
00:41:28,405 --> 00:41:31,700
It's now dangerously cold,
and our cars have just died.
757
00:41:32,492 --> 00:41:33,827
So--
758
00:41:34,870 --> 00:41:38,415
So we know that it is
an extreme cold problem.
759
00:41:38,498 --> 00:41:41,585
So that when they're very, very cold,
they won't take a charge.
760
00:41:41,668 --> 00:41:45,172
And that if you pull everything
off one circuit...
761
00:41:45,255 --> 00:41:48,425
That's why he uses two cables
and two different circuits.
762
00:41:48,509 --> 00:41:50,093
But the thing is, how do you know?
763
00:41:50,177 --> 00:41:52,471
How do you test a circuit?
How do you test--
764
00:41:52,554 --> 00:41:55,098
Well, ideally, what you would do
is you'd probably do it here,
765
00:41:55,182 --> 00:41:58,519
and then the other one
would be a plug-in in the kitchen.
766
00:41:58,602 --> 00:41:59,853
You know, maybe--
767
00:42:02,564 --> 00:42:04,566
-The power's just gone.
-Shit.
