Die Bilder eines anstrengenden Tages - jetzt auch mit Video
Nicht gerade von Kaiserwetter gesegnet waren unsere Ardbeg Ardventurer an ihrem zweiten Tag – aber niemand hat gesagt, dass der Wettbewerb ein Spaziergang werden würde. Für die, die die Challenge nicht kennen: Unter Führung von Destillerie-Manager Mickey Heads und dem erfahrenen Explorer und BBC-Moderator Monty Hall werden insgesamt 10 Teilnehmer aus Großbritannien, den USA, Kanada, Schweden, Japan, zwei aus Deutschland, von heute an die wilde Natur der südlichsten Hebriden-Insel durchwandern.
Hier sehen Sie zunächst ein zweiminütiges Video, und danach die Fotoreportage von Tag 2 mit den englischen Originaluntertiteln von Ardbeg. Viel Vergnügen!
