Presenter Starts Antarctic Trek Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton has begun her bid to reach the South Pole after bad weather had caused a delay. Skelton will travel 500 miles across Antarctica using an ice bike, skis and a kite to raise money for Sport Relief. In the process, she hopes to set a new world record for the longest bicycle journey on snow. The 28-year-old will use a bicycle with specially adapted tyres with a width of 20cm (8in). Skelton's latest adventure follows her successful high-wire walk between the chimneys of Battersea Power Station, in London, and a solo kayak voyage down the length of the Amazon. She said: "I am desperate to get started and to get a few miles under my belt. "Bad weather delayed the start of my challenge by four days and that means I now have less time to reach the South Pole - so the sooner I get going, the more likely I am to finish. "I've decided to start my polar challenge on my ice bike as I'm determined to prove that you can ride part of the way to the South Pole." waveguide.co.uk |

John Bishop's Sport Relief Hell BBC1, Thursday, 9pm - 10pm Repeat - BBC1 Sat 24 Mar 2:15pm Cycling, rowing and running from Paris to London in five days. The lamb to the celebrity slaughter is the usually cheery stand-up John Bishop, who cycled the 185 miles from the Eiffel Tower to Calais, then after an hour’s sleep began rowing across the Channel in a boat with Davina McCall, Denise Lewis and Freddie Flintoff, after which there was the small matter of running 90 miles from Dover to London, completing over a marathon’s distance each day. Since his ordeal Bishop has joked about the experience: “You know how it is,” he told The One Show. “You get roped into it and after the first hour you think, ‘Come on lads, we’ve all had a laugh, let’s go home now.’” But he kept going. Step-by-step coverage of the comedian's recent three-part challenge in aid of Sport Relief. Setting off at the Eiffel Tower, he faced a punishing 185-mile cycle ride to Calais. But that was just the beginning. With little rest, he then got in a boat and had to row his way across the choppy waters of the Channel - with support from celebrity friends Davina McCall, Denise Lewis and Andrew Flintoff, helping to boost the sleep-deprived comic's spirits. Once in England, his gruelling journey continued with a three-day run from Dover to London - each day covering more than a marathon - again, with celebrity friends such as Dermot O'Leary, Frank Skinner, Greg James and Robbie Savage running alongside to keep him going as he headed toward the finish line in Trafalgar Square.
