Kilkenny man’s experience in Bear Grylls’ latest test can be seen from today

“It was like walking on a mixture of hot coals and broken glass” – so says the Kilkenny man who led Team Ireland in Bear Grylls’ latest offering ‘World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji’.

The competition saw groups from across the globe navigate 671km of tough terrain in the South Pacific for 11 days last September.

A camera crew tagged along capturing it all and today the series starts to play out on Amazon Prime.
