(horns blaring)
(mid tempo music)
- At it's heart, it's not that complicated,
you get in a very small car
and you drive for about six or seven hours a day
on roads that are mostly okay,
sometimes difficult, occasionally dangerous,
and that's doable.
The Trans-India Challenge
is about driving a Morgan three Wheeler
across India and back again,
in something that's a bit exotic, a Morgan three Wheeler,
which has hardly been seen in India before,
so it'll provide some entertainment.
It's just something that captured my imagination,
so, you know, if in doubt, give it a shout.
- It's one of those moments where you shake his hand
and say fantastic.
It's part of the whole Morgan story,
you don't just drive your Morgan, A to B,
you take your Morgan as part of an adventure,
every journey is different, you are the pilot.
But I think the three wheeler is so different
from a motoring perspective today,
people don't see three wheelers on the road, generally.
- [Alan] My dad went to school in Malvern,
where Morgans are made,
and he drove a three wheeler in rallies between the wars.
I can remember,
he said that if he ever won the pools,
he'd buy a black Bristol with yellow wheels,
I don't know where that came from, never did.
But when I decided to do the Trans-India Challenge,
it had to be a black Morgan three Wheeler
with yellow wheels, as a bit of a homage to him,
he would have loved the adventure.
- My main response, actually, was quite interesting,
I liked the idea,
I thought that was a really good idea
to go round in a four wheeler
with a roof that could go up and down.
And then, of course, it transpired
that he started adding three wheels only,
and no canopy over the top.
And so, you know, you begin to think, interesting,
perhaps I'll just go in the support car
and leave him to do the driving,
and have somebody else there.
But then I thought, well, I can't let him be on his own
or with somebody else all the time,
and, actually it's a lovely thing to drive.
(phone ringing)
- Hello, how are you?
- Hello there.
Can you hear us?
- Just a second, let me find a quieter space.
Hi Pat!
- Hello there. - This is Pat,
can you see Pat?
You can see Pat, yes, that's good.
- You can see me, sorry, come a little closer.
- I'm sorry to disrupt your schedule,
but we just wanted to say hello today.
So it was a chance to just touch base with you
and to just review the note that I sent,
and agree the actions that are coming through.
We did detailed internet research
and then followed that up with word of mouth inquiry,
and that process flagged Goonj
as a partner for the challenge.
It's a unique NGO
and it's pioneered the circular economy
as a catalyst for sustainable social economic development
in rural India.
But Goonj also looks at the wider aspects of dignity
and wellbeing, and stays with villages for the longterm.
Long after any disaster is over,
and all the other aid organizations have left the scene,
Goonj is still there.
I could tell from the beginning
that Goonj was different
from anything I'd experienced before,
way beyond what we would be accustomed to in the West.
- So, for me, Goonj is not an organization,
Goonj is an idea, Goonj is an ideology,
Goonj has tried to make a huge dent
on the way we look at things.
I'll be the happiest person on this earth
if we replace charity with dignity.
- Yeah, that actually is the main thing
that has pushed us on
and made us feel we really want to do it.
Because we think that Goonj has done a tremendous job,
we like their way of doing it,
the policies they use, and all that sort of thing,
and how they do it.
So that, actually, has pushed us on
and made us feel that, actually,
forget about all the other little quirks
and problems we might be thinking about,
it's a really good project to work on,
let's do it.
- I'm totally inspired by them,
one of the team members out here also said
that for them to be doing this
in a totally different country, for another cause,
the passion, with which he's come into this,
I mean, all of that is inspiring.
It's not just admiration,
I think I'm totally inspired.
If I could do half of what he's done at his age,
I think I'll be okay.
I think with just the energy,
the passion that he brings to this is tremendous.
(soft piano music)
- Right well, I'm back from the hospital team,
and some news that we suspected might come,
which is that I'm gonna need heart surgery.
- Not good.
- There's more tests to go
and I've been told absolutely not to travel to India,
so that's a bit of a blow.
And, apparently, I've had this hanging around for a while,
so I've done okay to get to 72.
- Congenital.
- Sorry?
- Congenital heart disease. - Yes, congenital, yeah, yeah.
And, so I'm all up for carrying on.
- Ah, what are we going to do,
how are we going to get round this?
Postponements, changes,
we've got to sort this out as quickly as we can.
I'm not worried, God is with him.
- Well, it didn't cause me, in any way,
to hesitate on the challenge,
I've always worked on the basis
that problems are there to be fixed.
And if you
address them and face them,
then you'll find a way past it,
and it's just another thing to organize.
But yeah,
one does encounter, what I call, local difficulties,
and this is one of them.
- [Pat] The operation could not have gone better.
Alan had an aortic valve replacement and a double bypass
at the Royal Papworth Hospital that summer,
and was out of hospital again in a week,
recuperation took a bit longer though.
It's a big operation,
but the prospects of the challenge
was a huge motivator through the long winter months.
We decided to reschedule our departure for February, 2020,
the time after the operation
was spent making sure Alan was on top form,
and sure enough, before we knew it, it was time to pack.
(horns blaring)
- Never been on a 787 Dreamliner before.
- Dreamliner, what a name.
- And it was superb.
- And it was called the Queen Bee
and we thought we'd call the car the Queen Bee, why not?
- Went and got a photograph of it
and we thought, well, we're trying to live a dream,
and there's the plane called the Queen Bee,
and that matches the car.
So the car is now officially called the Queen Bee,
whether we can get a sticker or sign writing onto it,
I don't know.
Queen bee, Queen bee.
- [Pat] Ah, that looks like it, yes.
(handles clanking)
Oh my gosh.
It's so shiny and wonderful markings.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Today has been nothing like what I expected it to be,
having been allowed five hours sleep,
before getting up to go
and do, what I thought, was gonna be a fairly easy task,
of getting the car out of the container station.
And that whole process, even once we got there,
took seven hours.
However, success, we got the car, we opened the container,
and there it was in pristine condition.
Then we had to go through further bureaucracy
to actually be allowed to take it out of the container.
And, eventually, we were allowed to do that,
and the good news was, we put some fuel in,
and it started
first time, literally. - First go.
- [Alan] No turning over or anything, first time.
So that was when we started to attract a crowd.
So we can be fairly confident
that the three wheeler is going to blow India away
as we travel across it.
But by that time, it was getting rather late,
and by the time we'd got the car
out of the container station,
which was another round of
Indian bureaucracy. - Waiting, waiting, waiting.
You drove back in the dark.
- [Alan] And to drive back in the dark.
And what did I say I would never do on this trip?
Was drive in the dark. - Drive in the dark.
He's had an absolute baptism, haven't you?
Driving in this country. - So today,
was A, lasted a hell of a lot longer,
and B, ended up with a pretty hairy drive
in Indian traffic, in the dark.
- [Pat] We had the most exciting start leaving Mumbai today,
Alan didn't know about it, but in actual fact,
David and Peter organized the Royal Enfield Bikers
to come and support us and escort us out of Mumbai.
And Alan didn't know about it,
suddenly, there they were,
with their engines throbbing like mad,
we could feel it, even in the car,
that was also beating away madly.
And they took us out of Mumbai and did a sterling job
of keeping all the traffic,
which was getting heavier and heavier,
out of the way.
- [Alan] And were more interested in us,
and I was overwhelmed.
(upbeat music)
Meenakshi Gupta is an extraordinary woman
and the co founder of Goonj, with Anshu, her husband.
Now, she flagged us off from Mumbai
and, later in the morning,
we gave her a ride in the passenger seat,
I think she absolutely loved it.
- [David] Well what did you think
of your first run in the car?
- Crazy, quite crazy.
I can't imagine me doing that for 30 days straight,
it's quite something.
- [David] 35 minutes.
- Yes, its a great honor to be in this car with Alan.
- [David] Well, what do you think of the Morgan?
- So I think the ride,
the cause that you're supporting is great,
and it's the first time we are seeing a three wheeler
with such high capacity engine, in India,
which is absolutely great,
we went bonkers when we saw the first photos,
we said we wanted to see it in real life.
(subdued music)
- [Pat] Aamby Valley
is about halfway between Mumbai and Pune,
and we took a small detour to do a photo shoot
with an Indian motoring magazine.
Alan started to recognize the landscape
and I also had an odd feeling of déjà vu,
neither of us could work out why.
And when the penny dropped, of course,
these wonderful landscapes
were the same as those hanging on our walls,
back at home in Ipswich,
a series of watercolors painted by Alan's grandfather.
What an amazing experience to actually see for ourselves
what he had painted all those years ago
and what we see every day of our life.
It was the most beautiful place
and a timely break from the heat and bustle of Mumbai.
I'm told it's where the locals from Mumbai and Pune
head to at the weekend,
and I can absolutely see why, it's like an oasis.
(mid tempo music)
Our first taste of Goonj work, was in Solapur,
at a school for disadvantaged children
with learning difficulties.
The school was supported by Goonj,
but was set up by a husband and wife team,
who had sold absolutely everything they owned
to start the school.
About 40 children are taught to wash, dress,
feed themselves, and work,
by 12 teachers and 10 volunteers.
The welcome we were given
was bursting with energy and joie de vivre,
it's impossible not to be touched.
(upbeat Indian music)
- [Voiceover] We sold everything to start this school,
I used to have a farm of about seven and a half acres,
I sold that, my car, my bicycle,
everything I could lay my hands on,
even my wife's jewelry was sold.
We don't care about earning money,
nothing matters more than these children, for us.
We just want to make sure that they're happy,
looked after and well-educated,
and maybe then they'll have some sort of future.
- [David] What seems to be the problem, Alan?
- Well, we don't yet know.
We've done a check on the tires, tires are all fine,
and we've done a visual tire check,
and removed any stones,
and there's nothing else embedded in there, that we can see.
So the tires are all right, which is good news.
Started to do a visual check on the belt
because we're worried as to whether the vibration
is 'cause of the belt.
So we're gonna whip the cover off now
and look down into it,
and see whether that tells us anything or not.
- [David] So when did the vibration start?
- After we came out of the special needs school.
- [David] The rough road?
- And, well it was a shitty road, dreadful road,
and I may have been deluding myself, I can't tell,
but it just didn't seem to be running as smoothly,
and I couldn't tell what the problem was.
So we're going to do the visual check,
make sure there's nothing obviously loose,
do the same at the front,
and we'll run it up and down here, and see what I think.
- [Pat] All seemed well after the checkup,
so the guys decided the poor fuel quality
was making the engine run a bit rough,
little did we know how significant this was to become
later in the trip.
But blissfully unaware of what the future might hold,
we put more fuel additive in and headed off to Hyderabad.
(upbeat music)
- [David] So how's the car running?
- The problem seems to have eased,
so we're gonna have, step back,
we're gonna have to organize fuel additive,
make sure we got that right.
It's obviously right at the limit
of the engine's tuning,
and we know that the compartments for the fuel
can distort the way on which the fuel's distributed, so.
Bit of a thing, really.
Can I go to the loo, please?
- [David] Okay.
- [Pat] Queen Bee's turning circle is not the best,
which meant wrong slots needed three point turns.
And, of course,
people were jostling for positioning,
cars and motorbikes,
to get a good look at Queen Bee, and take selfies.
I was impressed that Alan handled it so well,
especially as we were still getting used
to sitting in the Morgan, for mile after mile.
(upbeat music)
Driving standards were varied too, to say the least,
undertaking's allowed,
and it didn't take us long to get used to being cut up
by cars, motorbikes, and even buses, trying to get photos.
Most nerve racking were the drivers
that leaned out of their cabs
to try and get selfies with the car.
- [David] So how was today, guys, just quickly?
- Somebody tell me, oh, the day, quite hard work, long drive,
we started a bit late because of looking at the car.
- But quite speedy.
- The roads in Maharashtra are much worse
than the roads in whatever state we're in now,
I'm a bit confused about that.
So, basically,
one of the longest drives we're ever scheduled to do
and I proved I can do it.
- We've got one more that's longer.
- I proved I can do it on my own,
which is important for me,
that I can rise to the challenge.
- Woo!
- [David] And the car ran okay?
- Sorry? - Car,
after we got rid of the blotchiness
with a bit of fuel additive.
- We've been going smoothly. - Absolutely super.
(car engine purring)
- Made it!
(upbeat music)
- [Pat] A rest day in Hyderabad,
gave us the chance to visit the Goonj headquarters
for the area,
and have a good look round a sorting center,
where they put together family kits,
which are earned by villagers through work on projects.
- [Alan] We were talking to the Goonj team
and I asked them what systems they used.
And it was astonishing to learn
that Goonj pretty much runs on WhatsApp,
and they have a WhatsApp group for everything.
It's amazing because you could imagine
no Western business functioning in that way,
but it's also a really sensible idea.
They communicate their requirements between offices,
they communicate their supply,
they communicate on issues, and they coordinate,
and there are multiple WhatsApp groups
which get formed and disbanded
depending on the issues that they're coping with.
- [Pat] Then it was off
to see the British Deputy High Commissioner,
Dr. Andrew Fleming,
and his wife, who made a delicious lunch for us all.
- Everybody here at the British Deputy High Commission
is really delighted that Alan and Pat Braithwaite
have decided to come to Hyderabad
as part of the Trans-India Challenge.
And what makes this story all the more remarkable,
of course, is their Indian heritage,
which I've been learning about over a lovely lunch,
and, you know,
understanding what India means, particularly, to Alan.
So I just think this is a fantastic story,
Alan is a legend,
he is somebody that doesn't say, but does,
and that Alan is very much cast of the same mold as Goonj,
a charity that he's elected to support,
and hopefully raise something
in the region of 200,000 pounds, for.
- We'd already been attracting some attention
from the Indian media, since the start of our trip.
But by Hyderabad, it had started to ramp up
and we were pleasantly grilled
by a sizeable group of journalists
who turned up at the Fleming's residence,
wanting to know all about Queen Bee
and what we were doing, driving across India.
The next day,
we were heading east towards the Bay of Bengal,
to complete our first leg, coast to coast.
(mid tempo music)
- [David] Pat, you're gonna drive the car?
- Yes, I am,
I put my hand up and said it's my turn now,
Alan's driven it all the time, so far,
so it's my turn, have a go.
Probably will only drive for about an hour max,
but I'm really looking forward to it,
gotta get my cushions sorted.
- [David] Are you nervous?
- One's always a little bit apprehensive,
not nervous, apprehensive,
until you get in the car and start it off.
I shan't be revving the engine like somebody else I know,
but I should go nice and steadily,
and I've got wonderful team, front and back,
so that'll be wonderful, looking after me all the way.
- If you sit on it, you sit on it like that, yes.
You have it in your back, you have it like that,
here I'll do it.
All right?
- Is that going to be, no.
You get used to getting in a certain side.
- [Alan] You do.
- Whee, like a shoehorn!
Bloody bottom.
(upbeat music)
(engine rumbling)
I love driving Queen Bee,
it was actually only the second time
I've ever driven the car.
I had a very short go in England, before we left,
only for about half a mile,
and I didn't even get out of third gear.
And here I was doing battle
with Indian lorries, cars, tuktuks, and crazy motorcyclists.
I ended up driving for three hours,
but after shouting orders at me
and getting a bit hoarse, and tense,
Alan took over again, claiming that he couldn't relax.
I was sad to hand the steering wheel back,
but I knew there would be plenty more opportunities
later on in the trip.
(dramatic music)
- Oh the rocky road to Rajahmundry,
at times it was like driving on the moon, but with gravity.
I knew the roads were gonna be less than perfect, in places,
but I just wasn't expecting what we had to do that day.
It was hot, bumpy,
most of the time we were just crawling along,
every piece of road seemed to have a pothole
and a monstrous crater in it,
and even their motorways were in an appalling state.
And I was getting really concerned
about how much damage we were doing to the car
with all the constant jolting, speeding up, slowing down,
dipping, diving into potholes.
So we made it, but little did we know,
the price we would pay for going over those rocky roads.
That was a much harder day than I expected
and a bit worried about the car with all the potholes.
So we'll have to do a full check
and see where we get to.
Bloody hard work.
We gotta get a new bracket, somehow,
when that's cooled down,
we'll have to go round and check the bolts.
There's the odd rattle, but Morgans do rattle anyway,
but I think we've succeeded in inducing rattles,
they'll be with us for the rest of the time. (laughing)
- [Pat] Visakhapatnam was our next port of call,
and this time the roads were much better, and we flew along.
Alan even let me drive for an hour
and I felt much more confident this time.
There was less shouting from my left,
so I took it as a huge compliment
that my driving was passing muster.
(dramatic music)
Journalists and photographers were, again,
waiting for us when we arrived.
It was great to see the sea again
for the first time since Mumbai,
and we were all buoyed up by the progress we'd made,
and the reception we were getting.
And we even managed to drive Queen Bee down a path
to back of the hotel,
for a photo shoot with a giant garden chess set.
- [Alan] I'd been asked by Professor Rao
to deliver a guest lecture to about 100 students
at the Gitam Institute of Management.
And I was struck, when we arrived,
by how many students had made the effort to turn out
on a Saturday morning,
certainly not a common occurrence
in my experience of university students.
I think they loved the talk
because I tried to give them some picture
of the motivation behind why I was doing the challenge,
and share some of the business experience that I've had,
in terms of what makes for a disrupter.
So, the students, I think, were captivated,
when I talked about Goonj and how I discovered them,
and the nature of their work,
and the unique social entrepreneurial model
that they've applied, using the circular economy,
and I think that really struck a chord with them.
After that, we were in absolutely great spirits,
we'd had a fantastic experience at the university,
wonderful people, hugely enthusiastic students,
and we were setting off to go north
on the last leg, last part of leg one to Gopalpur,
and we'd survived the terrible road conditions,
we'd made it to the east coast,
the Bay of Benghal is utterly beautiful,
and we felt, absolutely, on a high.
And so we started off along the shoreline
and I decided to give Peter, our team coordinator,
the driving seat, for this leg, and take a bit of a break,
'cause I'd worked quite hard in the lecture.
(mid tempo music)
- [Peter] Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, everyone,
stop, no drive, no drive.
- [David] What's the problem, Peter, what's happened?
- [Peter] The car's lost drive,
car's revving, the engine's revving,
but I've got no engagement,
I'm gonna try and roll it over to the side of the road,
if I can.
- [David] Okay, okay, Peter we're on our way.
- [Alan] Well, I knew we were in big trouble,
there was no doubt there was a serious problem.
There was absolutely no drive, the engine was running,
but there was nothing going to the back wheel.
And of course, when we turned the engine off,
it wouldn't start again,
because we'd lost the coupling for the starter motor,
so it was a serious problem.
(engine sputtering)
- [David] The starter motor's
not turning the engine, okay?
The starter motor connects to the flywheel,
the flywheel's spinning,
but it's not connecting with the engine,
there's something under there.
- When Peter lost power.
- [David] Yeah.
- Yes, the engine was still running until he turned it off.
- [Peter] Yeah, it was running.
- [David] But there was no connection to it.
- [Peter] Yeah, there was no connection.
- [Alan] The guys got onto Morgan
and after a short conversation,
it became clear that it was the rubber drive couplings
in the compensator,
that had actually just disintegrated.
It's the bit that connects the engine to the transmission.
- [David] If it's the rubber thing,
then chances of finding one here are slim
and we'll have to get it shipped over,
which is okay, but it just takes more time.
- Well you can UPS it.
- Yeah. - Whatever,
and it'll run overnight.
- [David] Yeah, maybe a day or two days.
So, Pat, how do you think Alan's feeling now?
- [Pat] I'm surprised he's so calm, to be perfectly honest.
I think, actually, probably it's helping
by the fact he's got a lot of people
who know a bit more about the car, than himself,
and all helping to establish what the problem is.
But he is being, actually, extremely calm, indeed,
I mean, one expects to have certain problems
over the 30 odd, 35 days that we're going to be traveling,
but perhaps we didn't expect it quite so soon,
as we've only done seven, or thereabouts, days.
- [David] You know Alan better than anyone,
will this stop him,
will he give up? - He's been fairly calm,
no he's not giving up, good grief, no.
No, I mean this is just par for the course, okay?
And we'll get it sorted and we'll be off again.
Lorry coming.
(horn toots)
I was surprised,
I came down to breakfast thinking, oh dear,
we've got a lot of things to plan and sort out.
Then went up to our room and then came back down again,
and found Peter and David talking to Alan,
and they've changed the world, it seems.
No, they've got everything organized, it seems,
to take the car up on a carrier,
they were phoning various people
who said they could do the job,
they could actually work on the car.
And I thought, this is amazing,
what a wonderful team we have working with us.
- So we're waiting for this conical drive transfer unit
to be shipped,
gotta make all the arrangements
and find somebody in Calcutta to do the work,
'cause we've got a couple of days there,
so we can fit that in,
and that should be practical.
Then we can set off again.
So, bit of a setback,
Queen Bee's not gonna do, quite, the 5,600 kilometers
that we thought,
'cause we're gonna miss about 400, I think, about that,
and what a shame, but unusual for it to go
in with the mileage that's on the car.
But I suspect that the battering it took, the day before,
put undue stress on the transmission,
I think that's where we're at.
Morgan have been fantastic,
we were speaking to them on the phone,
they've sent the parts, assembly, break down,
and all the rest of it,
and primed and ready to ship,
and with the three day interval,
that will be time for it to be couriered
and Calcutta'll be a much better place
than Gopalpur
which is a few hundred K down the coast.
So I think that's gonna be a good scheme,
so that's where we are.
- [Pat] With the car out of action
and nothing further we could do,
we decided to enjoy the beach on our day off.
And although I think Alan struggled a bit with the sand,
two legs obviously less familiar to him than three wheels.
(playful music)
- Well, we connected with some excellent local fixers
to start to try and address the problem,
a man called Uday Bhatia
from the Western India Automobile Association
helped us to track down
a Harley Davidson dealership in Calcutta,
who said they could help,
since the Morgan's Harley-type engine
is something they'd be familiar with.
So, we put Queen Bee into a car transporter
and that headed off to Calcutta,
and we took to our support cars for a couple of days
to visit Puri and Belasore,
and spent two days visiting Goonj projects.
Those Goonj projects were absolute priority for our visit,
so we weren't gonna miss them.
(rhythmic drumming)
Visiting the Goonj projects in Puri and Belasore
and the area,
was an absolute revelation.
We'd only visited one field location up until then,
and that was the school in Solapur,
but this was taking us right into the countryside
to see Goonj's work with the rural communities,
and also how they're working in a very disaster prone zone,
where the Bay of Bengal is very susceptible to cyclones.
(cheering) (tongue trilling)
Thank you so much for a fantastic welcome.
(clapping)
We adore India
and this is our journey of discovery of rural India,
we adore you.
- I'm absolutely overwhelmed, I really was, I am still.
All the love they've given us and all these lovely flowers
and garlands.
- I'm so sorry the car couldn't be here,
but, actually, it might've been a distraction.
(rhythmic drumming) (tongue trilling)
(car horn blaring)
We saw the whole range of projects
that Goonj gets involved in,
from clearing ponds,
to constructing facilities for villages,
to supporting the local shop,
to providing tools or educational kit for schools,
which had had to be displaced into cyclone shelters.
And then right out into the tribal areas,
the extraordinary work they're doing
to help those areas become tourist areas,
to develop their economies with dance and music and art.
So, extraordinary range,
that was the thing that really came across,
the range of stuff that they do
and the way in which they engage.
And it was really a formative part of the entire trip,
that we could see Goonj working in a sustained way
with these communities.
The people really trusted them
and we got the most extraordinary welcomes,
garlands and dancing and sword fights,
and the whole business.
Wonderful celebration of our visit,
which was completely unexpected,
we hadn't expected to be welcomed in that way,
but that reflected the trust that the people have in Goonj,
that Goonj is a partner for the long term.
The big idea that came from the economics work
of Banerjee and Duflo, the Nobel Prize winners,
and I've been reading their book as we've been traveling,
which demonstrated, so clearly,
the huge value of, what I call, micro interventions,
lots of small things
which improve the economy for that locality,
but also improve the sense of wellbeing of those people.
And we were just overwhelmed by the happiness,
the greeting, the trust,
these people may be poor in a conventional economic sense,
but they're absolutely not poor socially, culturally.
And so by working with them, they can help themselves,
and that sustains their dignity and their identity.
And this is something that you see so seldom
in conventional economic and social development
in the international field.
- [Pat] Finally, we arrived at Calcutta
and were reunited with Queen Bee,
but could the Harley Davidson guys fix her?
And where on earth were the parts?
- The flywheel is moving, but the engine does not move
due to this one, the compensator.
This compensator may be the initial problem,
so we need to, first, open the engine,
open the engine means
- Complete. - Complete,
complete unit, take it out from the bike, the car
and then we have to see what happen with this one.
- Okay. - Okay?
- Good news about the parts. Cleared in Delhi.
- [Peter] Oh good, okay.
I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it yet,
I've been doing other things.
- It's okay, so the parts cleared Delhi
at six minutes past one this morning.
- [Peter] Brilliant.
- Here in Calcutta, late afternoon.
- [Peter] Oh fantastic.
Sykat, Alan, Alan, Sykat.
- Hello, how are you?
- They've looked at the car.
- Yes?
- Looking good, they've got all the equipment,
happy with what needs to be done.
Should have the parts this afternoon.
- Hello, Queen Bee.
- Yeah, she's looking good. - How do you go?
- [Pat] She looks good, doesn't she?
- [Peter] She's needs a bit of a dust down,
she needs a bit of cleaning, yeah?
- [Pat] Just a tiny bit.
- [Alan] Keys are in it?
- [David] Feeling a little bit more optimistic now, are we?
Tell me what's happening?
- I don't think I was ever pessimistic,
I mean, I think that the solution that we came up with
was the right solution.
I'm thrilled to know the parts are in the country,
I'm praying that they are the right parts,
but that's the basic conclusion, that's what it is.
And so yeah,
if we can take it apart today
should be able to put it back together again
tonight or tomorrow, depends how these guys operate.
Queen Bee has made her way to Calcutta
in the back of a truck,
and then from the edge of Calcutta on a flatbed,
to the Harley Davidson dealer,
where it has now been dismantled.
The parts were shipped from, excuse me,
the parts were shipped from the UK last Monday,
some in the morning, some in the afternoon.
We have two consignments on their way,
both of them are languishing in our dreaded friends,
the Indian customs, this time in Delhi.
And we got Pramod on the case,
but until we can get the parts out, we can't do the repair.
Now we know that our diagnosis was right,
we know that it was the rubber couplings
in the bell housing,
which had gone.
We can be pretty sure that they took one hell of a pasting
on that road between Khammam and Rajahmundry,
we're gonna have to be massively more careful on potholes,
we're gonna be right down on speeds,
if we think we're exposed.
We're gonna have to make the best of it as we can
and Peter is on the case,
figuring out the schedule
and where we need to change up our route a bit,
and so on and so forth.
We just pray to God that we can get the car fixed on Monday
'cause then we can set off.
- So while we are now sat here on a Saturday
with the possibility of getting the parts out of customs,
we then are faced with Sunday,
where DHL don't work,
and Monday where, unfortunately,
Harley Davidson have got a day off.
What we're trying very hard to do is race against time
to get these parts from Delhi to Calcutta today
and get them, at least, in our sticky little hands.
Once we've achieved that
we can then look at potential scenarios
of what happens next.
My job now is gonna be working with a couple of people,
in particularly, Uday, who has been incredible,
he's been amazing in helping us
to facilitate the liaison between DHL and Harley Davidson.
He's now working out the logistics of what happens next.
We know we're gonna get it fixed,
we're confident we can get it fixed,
the big issue is once we've got it fixed,
what damage that does to our schedule.
We got 'em, we got 'em, we got 'em.
- Why is one smaller than the others?
- Just 'cause they're in different boxes,
got all these provided, that one has got a manual in it,
the whole fuss was about that, that's it.
It's crazy isn't it?
- A manual.
- That one's got a manual, the other one hasn't,
so that's fine.
- [Pat] Okay, do you wanna have a look at what it is?
Looks like, here we are.
- [Peter] Actually, there's one whole one,
there's an open one in here.
- Oh look it says, this way up. (chuckling)
Really, the 2,040 engine. - That's it.
- Build up issue. - That's all?
- [Peter] That's what all the fuss was about, was that,
four of those.
- Amazing, isn't it?
Absolutely amazing, well done.
I suppose they do look like something.
Jubilation!
All the guys had to do was to put Queen Bee back together.
If only it was that straightforward.
- This gear drum, thread and line behind.
- Yeah?
- Line off center.
- Yeah.
- The line out.
- What do you mean it doesn't match?
(mumbling)
Well, sorry, it came apart,
so it has to go back together again.
- Gets up.
- Yeah.
- Inside. - Yeah.
- On this side. - Yeah.
- Hole.
- Yeah.
- Not match,
(mumbling) line out.
- It's out of line?
- Up, down, up, down, left, right, push.
- So that's what we have to do this morning?
That's what you're saying,
we have to get it lined up and pushed in?
And you need help to do that, is that what you're saying?
(mid tempo music)
(speaking foreign language)
- [David] So Alan, we've had our ups and downs
over the last couple of days,
how are you feeling now, what's happening?
- Bit frustrated, but this is India,
so I'm getting used to it,
and you just ride with the punches, I think.
They are just fabulously good natured,
they are so gentle and enthusiastic and decent,
it's just overwhelming.
And even when it's problematic, they stay with you,
and the huge issue of communication and understanding,
you sort of, somehow, get through it.
You just cannot accept, we can't deal with it,
sorry, that's the right way of putting it,
can't deal with it in conventional terms,
as we would do so in the West.
It does raise the question,
why do we treat each other as we do?
It's just,
it's verging on the criminal, sorry,
it's an emotional response, 'cause I'm quite emotional.
Let's pray to God it all goes back together again
and it starts,
I don't know, it's a very strange world.
(mid tempo music)
- A phone call to Morgan and the arrival of two mechanics
from the local Jeep dealership came to help,
and suddenly everything fell into place.
The Harley guys were motorbike mechanics
and didn't realize you needed a clutch alignment tool
to get the bike engine onto a car gearbox.
With the proper tools, and a little helping hand,
the engine slipped easily back into place.
You got the keys?
Make sure it's out of gear.
(engine roars to life) (cheering)
- [David] How do you feel?
- I nearly cried, I don't know.
Effort these people have put in, just extraordinary,
and I know it's completely new to them.
We should be able to get going
and hopefully we've learnt our lessons,
and we can keep the car safe
for the rest of the challenge.
Got about another 2,000 miles to go.
If we can catch up a bit, that'd be good.
I can't say what I feel about these guys,
they're extraordinary.
Yeah.
(cheering)
- [Pat] At last, we were back on the road
and Queen Bee was heading north from Calcutta,
and, hopefully, cooler climes.
The world looked a better place.
(atmospheric music) (horns blaring)
- [David] So first day back on the road, Alan, how was that?
- Well, the start was brilliant,
with a hugely exciting excursion through Howrah,
past the station, and then through the market.
And then, eventually, we got on the highway,
that all took a while, we got on the highway,
highway was superb, supreme,
and some of the driving was more interesting,
but the highway was beautiful,
and then it's deteriorated a bit, just recently.
- [Pat] We weren't sorry
to escape the grim coal mining city of Dhanbad
and the smell of coal dust,
and head out into the sunshine on our way to Bodh Gaya,
the blessed site where Buddha first gained enlightenment.
As we bowled along, in our fresh little Bee,
I couldn't help noticing
that many of the buildings lining the road
seemed to be partly demolished,
yet people still living them.
We later discovered that the houses had encroached
too close to the highway,
and officials
had simply bull dozed the the front of the buildings
to bring them back into line.
The families just went on living in what remained
and life went on as normal.
(mid tempo music)
(horns tooting)
- Well, for very little mileage,
yeah, probably the second hardest day,
or first hardest day we've ever had,
it was because of the road,
the road was broadly okay to begin with,
but after that, it was complete shit.
And, yeah, obviously we're worried about Queen Bee
and whether she'll cope with this sort of stuff,
and what the implications are,
and overheating, and bumps, and stuff.
Thought she rode the bumps brilliantly,
think it's a question
of whether we're putting too much heat on the unit
and she's, you know,
we're brewing for a failure, at some other point.
That's the concern.
I think we've got another really bad day tomorrow,
so we're just gonna have to ask the question.
It's even less mileage tomorrow than it was today,
if it's gonna be like that, then it'll be a headache.
Sorry, what?
- [David] You wanna cut and run, maybe?
Or are you guys gonna think about it?
- We'll take the best advice we can get,
and I'm gonna get a shower, see my shirt, it's all wet.
(laughing)
- [Pat] We had a lovely evening,
sampling the late night shopping in Bodh Gaya,
but David was a little upset when he was told
he couldn't film
inside the ancient Mahabodhi temple complex.
I don't think it was a particularly Zen experience for him.
(jaunty music)
(slow music) (horns blaring)
The next day, we were off again,
this time to Patna, in the north of Bihar State.
The roads were chaotic with constant traffic jams
and every time we stopped,
we were swamped by people who wanted to look at the car,
take photos and selfies, of course, and greet us.
Everyone was lovely and very polite,
but, at times, we felt it just a little intimidating
to be swallowed by such crowds.
And, of course, there was always a worry
that someone would burn themselves
on the hot exhaust pipes or engine,
thank goodness, no one was hurt.
(speaking in foreign language)
We had the most wonderful welcome in Patna,
it was quite overwhelming,
and was presented with so many garlands
that my head almost disappeared under a sea of marigolds,
I could hardly breathe!
It was so very kind of the ladies to honor us in such a way,
but I must admit
to silently praying that no more would be produced.
(mid tempo music)
- [Alan] That was a remarkable experience because, again,
the welcome that we had was extraordinary,
but we were visiting, effectively, a city slum,
even though it had some fields and stuff around it,
and this was a new experience for us.
And the discovery there
was that Goonj had only been working with them
for a few months,
but, already, they had created a sense of hope.
And that was the thing that came out
from that visit, particularly.
So Goonj had helped them with community facilities,
they'd helped them to install decent washing for the women,
so there was a dignified washing area,
a little bit of pumping/piping of water.
There was a fabulous Indian jugaad
to tap in, frankly, illegally,
into the electrical system there.
But the welcome we got and the response that we had
showed that Goonj had given these people
the chance to dare, to hope.
The road conditions changed,
they became relatively clear and fast,
and the discovery there
was that, actually, they became more dangerous
because of the faster closing speeds
and the, literally, quite suicidal, overtaking
that some Indians partake in.
The speed bumps that have plagued us for much of the trip
seemed to have disappeared
and I began to feel really uncomfortable,
it was a really sweaty back,
by the time we'd done a couple of hours in the car
because I was just genuinely anxious.
And, sure enough, we were going along really well
and then we were stopped in our tracks
in a huge traffic queue.
We discovered that was the aftermath of a serious accident,
only that morning,
where two people had been killed by a speeding truck,
and the villagers had simply closed the road in protest
to go off and demand, as a result of this accident,
that they did get speed bumps installed in their village.
And we were there, I should think,
for a good hour,
before we managed to negotiate special passage
through the queue.
(upbeat Indian music)
- [Pat] Varanasi, the holy city of Shiva,
one of the main great gods of Hinduism.
We'd just missed a big Hindu pilgrimage and festival,
so all the crowd control barriers were being removed
while we were there.
- The place is profoundly spiritual
and people have this great faith and belief,
and I don't think it's superstitious,
I think it's genuine,
it's not in any way primitive, it's quite sophisticated.
And you've only gotta look at
the way in which people are living their lives
and the bathing, and everything else,
is hugely important rituals, for them.
And I wish to goodness,
we had more of that, in the, so-called, developed West,
We seem to have lost that spirituality
and kindness and friendship.
I mean, we haven't got the Morgan
and we're still being waved at.
(laughing)
(mid tempo music)
- [Pat] The car was behaving almost perfectly,
apart from an intermittent engine warning light
that we had learnt to ignore,
as we headed off to Agra,
via Lucknow, for two days of driving.
The road was fantastic, with lovely country lanes,
small villages, and no holdups.
(upbeat music)
We set off very early in the morning from Lucknow,
because we wanted to reach Agra
before American president, Donald Trump,
arrived for a state visit with his wife, Melania.
They would be closing the roads
and we hoped to get to our hotel before a citywide lockdown,
but the best laid plans, as they say.
- [David] What's up?
- Suddenly started to misbehave,
been running sweet as a nut.
- [David] It's just started to misfire?
- Didn't seem to misfire,
it just seemed to lose power,
we could try starting it again to see if it starts.
(engine sputtering)
Well it was going brilliantly, wonderful expressway,
quite unlike
anything that we'd experienced anywhere in India,
including driving for at least two and a half miles
on an emergency runway,
which is part of the motorway,
creaming along 100K, 110K,
and then with about 50K to go, Queen Bee died.
And so that was our second failure,
but we got lucky
because we'd been talking to a guy at the service station
where we'd stopped briefly, some Ks before,
who was in a German bus, trained mechanic.
Peter flagged him down, he spotted him,
it's just brilliant,
and this guy pulled in and everybody took the car apart,
traced the problem back to the fuel,
we went all the way through the electrics,
replaced the voltage regulator,
found some other issues, checked the plugs,
found it was running very lean.
Eventually traced the problem back to the fuel pump
and the diagnosis was the fuel pump was broken.
So I was back into tow mode,
tow mode into Agra with the roads in lockdown
because of Trump arriving.
So we got to within about three or four K of our hotel
and we went round and round in small circles,
with me getting hotter and hotter
on the end of a six foot rope.
I nearly took out the back of the tow car, at one point.
Eventually did manage to get into the hotel
with a lot of local influencing,
and took the car apart, established it was the fuel pump.
And then this morning we've, again,
had another look at the fuel pump, blew it through,
got it to work briefly,
but actually it was a dead piece of kit.
But we identified the replacement part, and guess what?
The team have gone off and found the part, fitted it,
and that's allowed us to go and visit the Taj,
which, hopefully, you can see behind me,
and that's been a wonderful morning's experience.
We're about to go and try
and do a drive by of the Red Fort,
it's gonna be wildly exciting.
(uptempo Indian music)
(horns blaring)
(engine revving)
Well I started up this morning
on getting ready to go to Delhi,
started perfectly, backed it out, suddenly it went lumpy,
and somebody said, whoa, there's a fuel leak.
So there was fuel leaking out the front,
you can still see residue on the floor.
And so we whipped the cover off, black cover front, and,
found a split pipe,
which had been off yesterday
and that was where the obvious source of the leak was.
- [Pat] Well after the early morning problems,
we set off anyway,
but it wasn't long before it all went pear shaped, again,
our optimism was ill judged.
Are you going to get out?
- Okay, so it looks
as though all the repairs that we did yesterday
with the pump,
jury-rigged into the pump fuel tank at the back,
which then subsequently burst some tires,
and so on, sorry, some pipes, burst some pipes.
And we've been chasing burst pipes around the system
as a result,
because it's been putting too much pressure into the system.
So we got on the motorway, I started to smell fuel,
thought that's not good, so we pulled in
and we've gone through it and found
a pipe bulging at the front.
And David's now spoken to Morgan
and the verdict is,
it's probably driving too much pressure into the system,
so we're now looking
to see whether we can get a flat bed, or we're gonna tow.
It's 100 miles of tow, which is hard work,
but if we have to do that, we'll have to do it.
- [Pat] But the truck couldn't reach us,
so we had to tow the car for 100 miles on a very short rope,
to meet the rescue vehicle on the outskirts of the city.
(horns blaring)
- You lads push her,
are we putting the big cover over it as well?
Well we're causing a traffic jam.
- [Pat] It turned out the fuel pump was fine,
but the pipes had been connected the wrong way round.
So after a conversation, again, with Morgan
and with the help of a local garage,
we were on our way again,
for a very important meeting with Goonj
at their head office.
(atmospheric music)
- [Alan] So we had an amazing welcome
from the Goonj team in Delhi for our visit,
all the staff turned out to see the car,
and they were hugely entertained,
massive smiles, crowds all round it.
And then we went into the Goonj facility
and we met with some of Goonj's partners,
we saw around the processing plant,
and heard how they remanufacture
their Green for Goonj range.
We saw them making the, MY Pads
for the Not Just a Piece of Cloth program,
and also packing the family kits for the rural villages.
So we got a really good sense
of a very sophisticated manufacturing operation
in this building.
And then we spent the most wonderful two hours
sitting on a mat in this big meeting room,
talking about their work, hearing from them,
what they felt was important.
It was really uplifting to sit and talk
with so many of their young people,
extraordinary young and enthusiastic team,
very highly educated and hugely motivated.
And that was probably the pervading sense of Goonj
as an organization,
is this very, very strong vision and value set
that is held by everybody that works in the organization.
- [Pat] After the visit to Goonj,
our guide, Pramod,
managed to organize a very special surprise for Alan,
one that would be the highlight of the trip.
- It's just fantastic, thank you Pramod.
So special, just fantastic.
Thank you.
I wanna get out, it's not very elegant, there we go.
We visited 24 Akbar Road,
which is where my grandfather lived
when he was a Home Minister in the Indian government,
and it's another headquarters of the Congress Party.
And dear Pramod managed to persuade them
to let us in with the car
and see the house where Grandpa lived,
we think, between '39 and '43, and a wonderful garden.
And my memories is, from when I was a boy,
seeing this movie
of my brother playing with my mother and father,
my mother and grandfather, I should say.
And then, later, my father, on the lawn
at 24 Akbar Road.
And so it was a very, very emotional experience
to be able to connect that part of the family history,
and actually be able to see, feel, and touch it.
What my mother would have said, had she been alive
and I'd been able to say we'd done this,
she would have been so, so thrilled.
She would have thought the Trans-India Challenge
was completely bonkers,
but she would have just been thrilled that we came in here
and saw the lawn, where those pictures were taken.
- Alan was so sentimentally attached to that place
and it was big task
for me to get the permission to enter in there.
I was very excited,
I was watching the movement of Alan, how he was so happy,
he was crying just like a child, that's like a baby.
- [Pat] Before we left Delhi,
Alan wanted to drive Queen Bee up the Rajpath
to the Parliament Buildings.
Then off we went again,
heading south to Mumbai via Rajasthan,
another complete change of scenery.
On the way, we found the most glorious road,
which started and stopped basically nowhere.
It turned out, an influential local
had convinced the authorities to build it
so that he could increase the value of his land.
In Jaipur we visited a project
that Goonj is not actively involved with,
but is very aware of, Shaping Lives.
Which rescues street children, orphans,
and abandoned and abused kids,
often from the most Dickensian conditions.
Many are found in sweatshops and never see daylight,
they get food and shelter and education,
and when older, get the opportunity to start businesses,
or, like the one we saw upstairs from the school,
making designer dresses.
- In Jaipur, we have more than 200,000 children
and our charity
actually works with over 4,000 children every day.
And these 4,000 children, two different projects,
like we are running six shelter homes,
where about 300 homeless and orphan children
are living with us.
These are the children who are basically rescued
from street and railway station,
we believe that the problem,
the landscape of problem, is so huge,
and I always say that the problem
is like a fire broke in a big and dense forest,
and we are basically small birds,
and we are trying to collect some water from nearby pond
in our beak
and trying to dissolve all that fire
by our small drop of effort.
So with small drops, I think, one day,
we will make an ocean
and we basically try to help more and more children.
And we wish that our place and our regions
will be free of such problems,
and there should be no need of organization like us
further.
(birds chirping)
- The next day, we got up early
to drive round the Pink City in Queen Bee,
while it was relatively quiet.
We drove past the Wind Palace and the Amber Fort,
and I got horribly frightened by a snake charmer
and his cobra.
(mid tempo music)
(man plays pungi)
- Welcome to Udaipur. - Welcome!
(speaking in foreign language)
- Okay, in reverse.
- What do you think, David?
I'd pass the test?
- [David] Not a look I'd recommend back at home,
but you look okay here, in context, in context.
- It will be used. - Here, you're fine.
- [Peter] Go and stand next.
- [Pat] We visited our final Goonj site at Udaipur,
and we're delighted to see a graphic of Queen Bee
on the wall!
We chatted to the Goonj staff and volunteers,
before heading off for a night's rest.
It really was beginning to feel
like the end of the trip.
(emotive piano music)
Any thoughts of calm and mindfulness were soon lost
when we reached the expressway to Surat,
and were refused entry, Alan was not happy.
- They are telling that three wheelers it's not permitted,
but they don't understand the importance of our challenge,
and they don't understand the importance of this program.
They will, after showing the paper and all those,
one is telling that it goes to another/our boss
while screaming after 15/20 minutes
and he's confirming that another boss
and another boss and another boss, like this.
- [Pat] So it's passing the buck?
- Passing the buck.
- At the moment, he's not prepared to do it,
he's gonna get the director to call and explain.
I've told him the situation,
I told him it's a unique vehicle,
he's seen the photograph of the car,
at the moment, they're not prepared to do it.
- [Pat] Eventually, Pramod and Peter
managed to negotiate a settlement
and we were allowed through.
- We've got special permission, it's a one off,
we've convinced them that it's a very important
and a very special mission,
and they've given us agreement,
and their sign off was,
please drive carefully on our expressways,
so that's what we're gonna do.
- [David] Can you drive carefully?
- 'Course I will,
what do you think I've been doing
for the last 5,000 kilometers?
God's sake!
(laughing)
(engine purring)
- [Pat] After all the unpleasantness
at the start of the expressway,
it was a pleasant surprise
to be greeted with tea and biscuits at the last toll booth,
they even refused to charge us, only in India.
(car horns blaring) (atmospheric music)
- [Driver] Stop, stop!
(clapping) (engine purring)
- Bless you. - Have we not had fun?
- You've done it. - We've done it, it's amazing,
I can't believe it.
- [Pat] Well done.
- Sweetheart, thank you.
Hello! - Right, here we are!
- Alan, how are you? - How are you?
- I'm good, I'm good. - Oh careful, it's hot,
don't burn yourself.
- Hot, hot, hot.
Lovely to see you.
- Hello Pat, congratulations.
- [David] So how do you feel, Alan?
Do you feel like you've achieved something?
- Elated, I think, don't you?
- Yeah, amazing, it's the end of the challenge
and we achieved it, which is fantastic.
And, actually, the real work starts now,
'cause of these wonderful people.
- [Anshu] What is the real work?
- [Alan] Working with you.
- I really appreciate the courage of you
and, of course, the team who helped you.
- So, yeah, it's been an amazing experience,
thank you guys.
- Couldn't have done it without you, we really couldn't.
- Pramod, where's Pramod?
I don't know where Pramod is.
- Our fixer, our drivers. - There's Pramod.
- Our bodyguards front and back
and you two guys,
all our directors, filming.
- Just extraordinary experience.
- Yeah.
- [David] Pat, are you two still talking?
- Sorry?
- [David] Are you two still talking?
- Of course we are!
- More or less.
- Of course we are, we always talk!
Yes, yes, he might shout on occasion.
Over the noise, over the noise of the car,
of course. - There we go.
- [David] Do you feel relieved or elated, how do you feel?
- It's an extraordinary feeling actually,
I'm thrilled that we've done it
and the car has managed to make it right the way round,
which is absolutely brilliant.
And also, you know, I want to go on.
- Yeah, she wants to do it again.
- Oh dear.
- Think we probably need to go home
and worry about the family,
but India's.
- Been absolutely amazing. - We're just looking forward
to carrying on our cooperation with Goonj.
- [David] Do you feel you've reconnected with India?
- Yes. - Oh gosh, yes.
- Hugely, we really got it under our fingernails,
every day my fingernails are slightly dirty,
today they're relatively clean.
I have to wash my hair every day
and we discovered we got quite a lot of dirt in our ears,
but that's the real India, and we've given so many smiles.
- Oh, absolutely, wonderful.
- So I think one of the things that's been overwhelming
has been just how much the Goonj people
have appreciated what we've done.
It's been a real, it's made a difference to them,
which wasn't something I expected.
