| 0:09.7 | Welcome back, welcome back to day four of the Dubada special |
| 0:18.2 | It's the big one |
| 0:24.7 | It's the long one i don't know i don't even know how long it is how far is it is it 52 miles like 80k 502 yeah i think it's at least |
| 0:32.2 | 52 yeah what what i love like what i love about this is that after the first few days when we had like the long day and you've got to because the thing is the terrain in Sahara isn't like flat it's not like flat with like you know a few dunes and stuff like that it's pretty hilly you know you go up jebels and know, sometimes you need rope. It's so steep. And, you know, the terrain is really varied in different things. So you think, okay, those first three days, a lot of varied terrain, a lot of difficulty, a lot of, you know, a lot of dunes and things like that. So they're going to make us do 52 miles, which is a lot. So they're going to keep that pretty flat, aren't they? |
| 1:13.5 | You know, 52 miles is a bit of a distance. They're going to keep it flat. No. No. |
| 1:17.9 | It's almost as though it's a challenge to make it filled with even more terrain. |

| 1:44.1 | because you're going up and down June. So you've got, with, in the dark, and you've got, like, the sort of people stretch down in front of you, they've got lights. If you're going up and down dunes, you can't necessarily see people in front of you. So do people get lost? Do they just go off course? |
| 2:02.0 | Well, yes. Yeah. I mean, that's, I mean, it's a distinct possibility. I think I've mentioned |
| 2:06.1 | you when we were talking about the kit thing, actually having the compass kept me on the |
| 2:09.8 | and I've mentioned this multiple times previously, but they put out glow sticks to, on sticks at the top of the dunes when we were running through them. |
| 2:21.3 | But a load of Berber kids came along and stole all of them. |
