Here's the Canadian Game: over distances varying from 17 - 60km, you have 36 hours to elude the trackers to reach the finish point. Winners are rare.
Google: ' Mantracker', starring Terry Grant. Filmed all over Canada, at the very least you get looks at some real wild lands.

would that be allowed in the game: crossing international borders?

It was stated at the start that they could not leave the UK. Which sucks 'cos that is what most highly sort after runners do. ( ie. the teacher that fled with the teenage student to France)

None so far have managed to be the 'Grey Man'.
Dr Allen made the mistake of changing his first plan, should have exited the train in Milton Keynes, so many good routes out of that place...thank all the deities...;)
and plenty of places to hide up or travel on foot away from the hunters who seem to rely on road vehicles. His story was very entertaining though, especially when watching the guys at the Bothy, not sure I would have stayed the night there afterwards though, high risk when you just p'd those guys off.;)

Agree with Dewi, that credibility of the show has been compromised on a few points but it does offer up some interesting points for both those who are hunted and their pursuers, namely their mindsets.
For instance, have you noticed how the hunted get quite aggressive in their manner when caught? or how the hunters get a similar trait when closing in? The hunters are supposedly trained ex (whatever field they are from) but seem to lack the control i'd think necessary for a tv programme.

Great analysis, Fraxinus. I've seen the same in Mantracker. Bravado, cockiness and confidence are sometimes peeled away in short order.
One even broke down when the understanding became clear that they were really "prey" and that they were really being hunted.

Mantracker & local sidekick are on good horses. Just watch the horses' ears swivel to the prey. Not much hope left.
