Dragon Boat Races

Commando Yomp
The 30-mile speed march is a legend in the Royal Marines. It's a race against the clock across some of the roughest country in Britain and the climax to a week of arduous muscle-sapping commando tests. The Royal Marine Commandos made a famous 'Yomp' or march to Port Stanley in The Falklands.

On only his third climb, Peter Duncan tries the Old Man of Stoer. It's only 40 metres shorter than its famous cousin at Hoy, and to get to it involves an icy swim across a channel. With Everest mountaineer Doug Scott as his guide, Peter climbs up one of the most difficult and beautiful rocks in Britain, which only 20 years ago was considered unclimbable.
Water Beetle
Crossing the notoriousIrish Seain an old car is a real dare for Peter Duncan and co-driver Steve Good when the weather forecasters get it wrong and they encounter 20-foot waves in mid-channel en route toIreland. Why didn't they take the ferry?
Tight Rope Walker
'..It takes years of practice to become a tightrope walker....' How about six months? That was the challenge put to Peter in this Duncan Dares when he joined the world of the circus to display his brand new act on the high wire. Look! No net and no strings attached, but will he get across without falling?

Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
