Version 1.1

The quality of the video and camera work is excellent, a definite step above the typical adventure touring DVD... an all-around great travel adventure to an audience [for] motorcyclists and non-motorcyclists alike.

 

Twenty two years after my first two-wheel venture into the Sahara, I cooked up the Desert Riders Project, a hardcore expedition to explore the limits of motorcycling in the Sahara. Vital fuel and food drops were buried months in advance and, with Jon Escombe and Andy Bell who'd come on my previous desert biking tours, the three Desert Riders set off on a radical 6000-kilometre adventure to the desolate heart of the Sahara.

Not for the first time we soon found ourselves up against it; on one day we covered just 4km. But a few days later, out on the plains along the Niger borderlands we located the primary fuel cache buried in the dunes and by traversing the covert trails of les contrabandiers, we made an illicit excursion to Niger's Ténéré Desert's and the famous Lost Tree. Then, heading west towards the barren lava fields of the Hoggar Mountains the Project began to unravel...

Filmed in broadcast-quality digital video, this 2005 version includes 23 minutes of additional material, including the TV version of Desert Riders as seen on National Geographic Channel, Call of the Wild (6 min TV version) and a preview of my other 2005 release, Gorge Riders.
