2:10 An Epic Adventure - Alistair McGuinness - When Alistair McGuinness, a man in his late 30's, was made redundant a few years ago, he went Round the Bend in a good way.  Five minutes after getting the news that he'd lost his job as production planner at Vauxhall motors in Luton England, he called his wife, Fran and they decided to do something different with the redundancy money.  At the end of his last day on the job, Alistair and Fran  got a plane at Heathrow airport and set off on an adventure of a lifetime.  They travelled to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.  Their travels in an overland truck took them up Kilimanjaro and across East and South Africa.
