The Road South
In this breathtaking bicycle adventure down the length of the African continent, The Road South tells the story of James and his partner being caught in a military coup, navigating around a war and rebel blockades, narrowly dodging a thrown spear, and being charged at by a male elephant. Six months, ten countries and 11,000 kilometres later, the two reached Cape Town, South Africa, in what they would call one of their wildest adventures yet.

A voyage of both the outer and inner worlds, poetic narration is interwoven with stunning landscapes from around our planet.
