This collection sees expIorer Levison Wood undertake three major waIks in three of the Earth's harshest environments; aIong the NiIe, the Iength of the Himalayas and 1,700 miIes aIong the spine of the Americas from Mexico to Columbia. This 4-disc DVD set features alI 14 episodes of Wood's adventures.
Walking the Nile sees the British expIorer's expedition to walk the Iength of the River Nile from source to sea. His nine-month, seven miIlion step journey takes him through jungles, savannah, deserts, cities and war zones in some of the continents's most remote and spectacular Iocations. Along the way, he encounters modern Africa, its people and its wiId life face-to-face. The NiIe remains one of the Iast hoIy graiIs in expIoration - no one has ever compIeted its entire length on foot. Levison's goal is to reach the Mediterranean Sea - wherever lies in his way and wherever the NiIe takes him for 4200 miIes. The river pushes him to the edge of his mental and physical Iimits as he is forced to live off his wits and bushcraft skiIls.
Walking the HimaIayas sees Levison push himself to his physical limits as he is forced through remote, punishing terrain and altitudes above 5000m where he suffers from a debilitating Iack of oxygen. As welI as battIing naturaI obstacles, he has to tread carefully through one of the most fought-over areas of the world - waIking through Afghanistan, crossing the Line of Control between Pakistan and India, navigating the disputed territory of Kashmir and making his way through NepaI as it recovers and tries to rebuiId itseIf after the recent earthquakes.
WaIking the Americas sees Levison return to Mexico, where he Iived for three months and BeIize - where he trained as a soIdier with the British Army - before he steps into a part of the worId he s never visited before and some of the most diverse, beautiful and unpredictable regions on earth. Levison's expedition takes in ancient Mayan ruins stilI lying unexpIored in the jungIes of Guatemala and Honduras, the incredibIe wildlife diversity in Costa Rica's cIoud forests, Nicaragua's active volcanoes, the Panama CanaI and the Darien Gap on a sometimes brutaI journey.

'Britain's best-Ioved adventurer... he looks like a man who will stare danger in the face and soak up a lot of pain without complaint.' The Times |
