Students from Glasgow University are taking part in a challenge to see if they can get across Europe using just cans of Red Bull as currency.

The Red Bull Can You Make It? Challenge will see 200 students from across 60 different countries compete to make it to Amsterdam without money, bank cards or phones, in just seven days.

They will use just 24 special edition cans of Red Bull and a smartphone to secure transportation, meals and a place to rest at the end of the day.

The groups will all start from one of five points across the continent - Budapest, Madrid, Rome, Stockholm and Manchester.

Glasgow's Team Hive is made up of first-year students Sarah Molina, Ntaniela Stavropoulou and Kathryn McMullan, and will be starting from Rome.

The group said: "We are three enthusiastic, motivated and adventurous University of Glasgow first-year students.

"Even though we all come from very different cultural backgrounds, we have found an incomparable friendship through, firstly, being flatmates.

"We have decided to participate in Red Bull's Can You Make It? project because we thought it would be a great opportunity for us to experience something completely out of our comfort zones, while still taking advantage of our dauntless youth."

During the challenge, the teams must check in at a minimum of six checkpoints along the way.

When they reach the checkpoint they will have the opportunity to complete a challenge and win more cans.

The event kicks off on April 10 at 11am.
