Land Rover G4 Challenge Day 2/3

Day two of the G4 Challenge was little more than a drive from Thailand into Laos, but it was followed by a major upset for UK representative Brian Reynolds. There were six competitions - involving driving, navigating, running, climbing, kayaking and abseiling - but Reynolds (pictured right) and his German team-mate Robert Schweiger completed just two of them.

The chain on Reynolds’s mountain bike was wrecked when a branch flicked up and got caught in a tyre. He abandoned the bike, but later discovered he had to bring it back, which involved a three-mile run. He also cut his leg after slipping in a cave, and battled unnecessarily through dense jungle for 45 minutes after missing a marker point.

“Tomorrow’s another day,” Reynolds said afterwards. “It can only get better.” He also reported a difference in attitude between himself and the man he is partnering for the first week of the competition: “I’m really keen and hyped up, but I think Robert is taking a slightly more relaxed approach.”

The Challenge stays in Laos for another day and more intense competition.
