Injured Personnel Get Next Epic Challenge Underway

A team of injured ex-service personnel have got the next part of a huge challenge underway.

The 'Adaptive Grand Slam' team are climbing the highest mountain in South America as part of an attempt to summit the highest peak on every continent and walk to both Poles.

Click below to see how they got on with their training - and how able-bodied reporter Kate Wathall fared alongside them (Spoiler: it wasn't particularly well)...

Only 11 people have completed the feat, which has become known as the 'Explorers Grand Slam' - meaning more people have walked on the Moon.

If the Adaptive Grand Slam team conquer the challenge, they'll become the first disabled people to do so, and will have broken four World Records in the process.
