An adventurer and environmental campaigner has covered more than 3,000 miles in a recycled scrapyard bus powered by chip fat in a bid to travel around the world.
Andy Pag, 34, from London, has reached Turkey via France, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia, the Balkans and Greece.
Since he left London on September 19, he has collected more than 500 litres of chip fat and biodiesel made from used cooking oil.
A British woman and French man who attempted one of the world's most difficult hikes ended up having to be rescued and while waiting, decided to get married.
Katie-Jane Cooper and Tarka L'Herpiniere were on 250-mile hike across Andean glaciers between Chile and Argentina when harsh wind and snow forced them to call London for help via satellite phone.
The British embassy was alerted and they alerted an Argentine rescue crew which eventually rescued the pair from the deep crevice they were stranded in.
