Ben Fogle leads a team of explorers across the Sahara Desert. They must survive on the water they find en route as they attempt to reach the ancient capital city of Ghat. Ben and his team head deep into the Acacus Mountain range. They must tackle a 500 foot scree climb then abseil down again. It's a real test for feisty Angela who has a fear of heights. There's a crisis too for Sunderland mum, Ashley, when she's diagnosed with angina.
