Hi Mark,
I followed the Tasmania challenge 2011 quite intensive. I was glued on the process of the 5 days. I used to follow the daily reports, the pre- and review videos as well as usual twitter. The docu yesterday on channel 4 brought the stunning environment of Tasmania as well as the 5 day adventure really good together. I would love to say: “I wanna be part of this event”, but it is honestly quite unrealistic, at least for 2012. But I must admit for 2013… yeah maybe. It is a big target, but not impossible. I love it, to go in a huge challenge, to know, that you have to fight, you have to beat yourself. And that it is what don’t let me just dream about it. So we will see. All in all, the Tasmania challenge is a huge impressive charity event and I hope it will continue not only until 2013 (It was a three year commitment, wasn’t it?).
The location, the challenge, the charity, it’s just perfect to want to be attend this event.
One question: Is already the charity/ies which will be supported by your Foundation chosen?
Mark, I wish you for 2012 on and off the track all the best!
Petra

Hi there – the charities chosen by the Foundation for the 2011 Challenge were Whitelion and the Tasmania Devil Appeal.

I completely loved it so thank you so much for showing it.

I am a little ill at the moment so gave me real inspiration to try my hardest to keep going and not to give up. Also loved the little interviews with Mark about each stage (even though he only did one due to work commitments).

Thank you again good luck Mark for the 2012 season you are amazing :)

Any news if the docmentary will be shown elsewhere in Europe? Would be great to see the full story (especially as my cousin won it!)

Hi Carol,

I’m afraid haven’t been given any airing dates for other European countries apart from the following:

UK – British Eurosport; Feb 13, 19.00hrs
UK and Ireland – Premier Sports; Feb 18, 21.00hrs

Hope this helps!
