Calling all serious explorers!

Have you got what it takes to be a Serious Explorer? The multi-award winning Serious.. adventure series returns with a ground-breaking new expedition.
The BBC are looking for 8 explorers between the ages of 12-15.
What is on offer?

Serious Explorers will follow in the extreme footsteps of the great 13th Century explorer Marco Polo as he travelled the legendary Silk Road in search of far-eastern treasures such as silk, gold and spices.

Camels

Among many challenges, you'll join a camel train to take on the mighty Taklamakan Desert, called the 'desert of ghosts' by Marco Polo, and climb to the 'roof of the world' in the huge mountains which he had to cross as he travelled the challenging route from Europe to China. And just like Marco Polo, you'll also spend time with local tribes-peoples.

The Serious Explorers expedition will feature in a ten part documentary series for CBBC, due for broadcast early in 2010.
