1:29 am
two hundred. two hundred makes us. one hundred. one o'clock. one hundred makes us turn to the right. the speed limit is sixty five it's going well. five hundred mazes. with mostly empty spaces as far as the eye can see it's tempting to put your foot down but the judges always seem to be just around the corner waiting to check up on you. fourteen twenty seven thirty car number twenty the helmets are ok. i can see the first ten racers their helmets and lights are fine. so we've got about one hundred kilometers remaining tonight so that should be about three hours give or take on this road it's obviously very helpful because the military is giving me the expert
1:30 am
instruction. assuming we have no unfortunate accident. we might just make it before it gets pitch black. that's why lights makes this silent road even more eerie and it's hardly surprising because this is the notorious highway. the prisoners send else to. in the late thirty's. this is a manmade right. it's built using spades and. four because of the tough working conditions. many prisoners swell they just couldn't survive and they died on the road. and in those days. they didn't even bury the dead. but left the bodies out on the road. just covering
1:31 am
them with them with stones. so the bodies stay there forever. that's why they call it the robot arms. the story. is a sobering experience driving here and the mood was only improved when we passed the checkpoints and the cheering crowds. it was uplifting to think that the locals would stand outside in these bitter temperatures just to cheer us on and we soon started playing games to pass the time although i was soon going to wish that i hadn't. but. something beginning with. blake. yeah.
1:32 am
i was so sorry for larry. but in front. of. how much time we're going to lose here. james. never but under a. true number twenty seven accident it's come off the road it will hit me but i hope it's going to hope that we're. relatively close to somebody else now come and pull it out. because there's no way i'm getting back up that's. all realistically. stuff to see if we can prepare it so we get out as quickly as possible with a. stupid
1:33 am
. and where is somebody. teach me. how much of. this is do the trick. with a bit of luck since they can so that money on this. earth . or something like me. take it
1:34 am
easy and don't rev it up because i'm a maker of silly books would like to argue. their rights rights rights. we did but. no thanks to me i. and then another day. with no brushes with the local wildlife one hundred and a good night's rest. day one has been eventful and we haven't even got to the hard part yes stage two was a five hundred kilometer journey to the town of. true some of you could see his wildest and most breathtaking scenery. the next morning everyone was up
1:35 am
early and getting ready to go flags were adjusted and equipment loaded on to the cars. ok let's go. it was time to set off for hours here there's just nothing but you and the landscape. is ten o'clock. it wasn't long before we stumbled onto a natural oasis. the local school the kluge or warm spring. well in this case it's all relative i suppose. when it's below freezing for almost eight months of the year something as simple as running water is a rare find indeed and when you do stumble upon
1:36 am
a little miracle in the middle of the permafrost. you've really got to make the most of it. very refreshing. and it was the last break we were going to get for a long while because we were about to enter the most dangerous parts of the whole highway. this is the. black clamp black because of the color of the loose shale which always threatens to drop down on your head and clump because your color is literally stuck between a rock and a very nasty drop. be careful because this road is itself really narrow. and every other president says roughly one hundred two hundred fifty meters.
1:37 am
looks like that's going to be the biggest challenge we're going to face. barely any road and a very steep. so ever so slowly we negotiated the black clumps two hundred kilometers lorries and our fellow races whipped up the dust all around us. and surprisingly it's ok hours but finally we emerged at the bottom and on the road to the frozen and fascinating town of tom saw. a highway built on the bones of its maker its the wind through one of the wildest
1:38 am

1:42 am
lives. live. two solid days of driving had taken us from the to the town of tom tall just on the edge of the pole of colton. we still had a few hours to kill before our final leg. and i wanted to see more of this frozen rural community. but you do need to keep your wits about you. what are you doing. even children. get very little. and there must bombardment was just too much for one.
1:43 am
more detail to keep telling the court. well the youngsters don't seem to lack for energy but how about the rest of toms or around two thousand people live here in jury one of the hall sister continental climates in the world life certainly seems anything but easy but you know you're dealing with a tough community where ninety nine percent of them don't even have an insulated loo. despite the hardships most of the villages are happy here and playing the summers is one of their favorite pastimes. almost at the most gunnies the remember this traditional you could instrument it's called the homeless it's been played for centuries among this book where it's a really interesting thing because it helps you relax and cam down. when you play
1:44 am
it your main cam in any stressful situation going on. when a person lives in harmony with nature and remains cam and free within themselves then they become very strong. and that means plenty of exercise whatever the weather. ok well i believe what andre was. saying about this group you know if we talk. because he's going to bright one i could let it go girl who. is going to run right into that house but. are you going. to just getting started. while i just about
1:45 am
escaped with my nick drake was ready for a fresh ing south. with a newfound respect for the people of. heading back into the center to watch something rather special. we timed to coincide with the area's poll of cold festival and things were just about to get started. with the blessings of the priest ringing in our ears but larry and i headed to our trusty toyota for one last effort. so this is it the final stage after our accident we've still got quite a lot of time to make up but i am feeling confident. so today it's tires to the tundra and all of the oil because.
1:46 am
the last leg is a good old fashioned sprint finish from tom. no worries about cliff edges here it's just straight pedal to the metal and home. as we just had forty kilometers to go we weren't going to win but that didn't mean we weren't going to try to kill it is to go. twelve o'clock two hundred bases. for thirty metres. we're going to two hundred fifty mazes one hundred. fifty meters.
1:47 am
oh i don't believe it. big. big and exhausting but we made it. we jumped out to wait for all races to finish that time charles. and i went out to check on one of the drivers. oh you guys congratulations thank you how did you go fantastic feeling. i was a reach. but it was a bit of
1:48 am
a tricky road. taken in oh and it wasn't long before the sponsors came out for a. completion of the race in one piece but there had been a few hairy moments and i wanted to find out what keeps valarie coming back a year off so yeah. i got interested in motor vehicles when i was still a kid my dad had it and now i repair it with my own hands i love tinkering with cars. there are lots of different kinds of car racing today's was a speed rise which means a whole ton of adrenaline rush honestly speaking i like to do a lot. in contrast to the jeep try fate was just a cross-country race but here it's racing in its purest form. which finally made it to the famous pole of culture in one hundred twenty six they recorded a temperature of minus seventy one point two degrees here making of the coldest
1:49 am
place in the northern hemisphere and the coldest and how to place on a. pole is the symbol of the basic cold if you use is one one in fakery and another in my books and that means that spring is on its way. we would having to enjoy quite such extreme temperatures so i was able to walk around the village without freezing to death but one woman who knows just how bad the weather can get here is the local meteorologist. the lowest temperature in february was minus thirty five point eight as a rule the lowest temperatures occurred just before sunrise if we're talking about minus fifty five that means temperatures may go up and down throughout the day but the average is about the same. here is a ditch cold air comes down here from the mountains and stays in the valley.
1:50 am
as long as we don't have wind we have stagnation. if there is wind here then that would agitate things and it wouldn't be like this. despite the harsh conditions visitors flock to cold every year even in the coldest months to see how the town gets through the winter. of the most popular attractions of the local horses they may be small but they're tough as nails. you could horse is unique breed considering that it's always lived around here. it's unique in the sense that it can withstand the bitter cold in winter temperatures drop to minus fifty degrees these horses can handle the cold without a stable and don't need a lot of food they forage under the snow and don't need much attention.
1:51 am
in a region where it's almost impossible to grow crops the horses are also popular on the dinner table but there are a few other local dishes i was keen to try out and susannah knows the best ones by hot. right. don't. you know. first. or. fair. this is a first i mean. what room. after that. this is a piece of the local river that will be boiling up. good to get
1:52 am
a bit of local flavor. as you can see making a cup of tea is not exactly a simple process here but while the kettle was on wheels or other ingredients. perhaps unsurprisingly they were cold. mixing. so when the going to get a sweater so you want something cold afterwards. in this place you don't even need a freezer just put it out on the windowsill. our own care every morning when you're outside in our green or something. and i have got a little color a surprise up my sleeve for them as well. well
1:53 am
i've been enjoying some local delicacies my fellow races have been getting ready for the end of the polish cold festival and it was promising to be a great event. this is one of the social highlights of the year and everyone comes out to enjoy the fun including a few very special guests. this. month fifth of the. organization is working very well and those three children are very. good singing and all of the people here. they have very warm month so if you did have a choice between the north pole and the poll of polls which one would you pick if you have the thing but i like to be here. with santa seal of approval it was time
1:54 am
for a spot of lunch and this time i had something of my own to serve up so everyone's cooked a lot of local food for the festival but i decided what's wrong and bring a little bit of britain to the pole of cold and so i have an owner of my mom. mary brown famous chicken casserole. but if i manage to do it justice so let's see if we can get some take his. oh it was all i do you. focus. because it all with bacon and vegetables who cooked it i could see it's really yes don't try. but i would like it i'm pleased. houdini casserole. at my mum's recipe. from england. to look at this this. are a good moment be proud of this i've got
1:55 am
a curing i'm going to carry around the block already i have a daughter your age. it seems that my career is a market trader was often running and soon we had an empty source but. i think they get really annoyed with me over their stealing their business. and the food wasn't the only success of the day seems oh james brown from foggy england. are awarded this paschal trophy from the mammoth club. we came we saw we just about finished but i was pleased as punch with the trophy. i've been to quite a few unusual places but i never thought i'd be in the coldest inhabited place on earth the people who enjoy conditions most of us would think were unbearable but still find ways to live happy fulfilled lives it's truly an adventure to get here
