Gorge Riders 
PAL** ~ 81 mins £14.99
In between updating the AM Handbook, I also cover the remoter corners of Australia for Rough Guides - and the ironstone gorges of the Hamersley Ranges in northwestern Australia are the setting for this latest film.
Staying behind the camera this time, I follow Jeff aboard his ratty ex-African HPN Boxer, and Bob & Danielle - halfway through an RTW honeymoon on their fully-kitted R1150GS.
When flooded tracks nearly drown the 1150, Bob and Jeff continue on the HPN. Then that too is left behind as the duo undertake a thrilling and irreversible descent into the freezing gorges of Karajini where the duo find themselves inside a rarely seen wonderland of shoulder-wide chasms, hidden waterfalls and flooded canyons bounded by towering red cliffs.
