About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ Season 5 journey through Southern Africa, this 22-minute episode centres on the ride to the road leading into the Gambaskloof. The route’s defining feature is Swartberg Pass, described as a mountain pass constructed by South African engineer Thomas Bain. The journey also pauses in Prince Albert, where the rider stocks up on fuel and takes time to admire the town. These stops and crossings shape an episode focused on getting from the pass to the access road for “The Hell.”
The journey
The ride begins with a crossing of Swartberg Pass, followed by a short trip into Prince Albert for fuel. From town, the route heads back toward the pass, this time to reach the road to “The Hell.” The description identifies that road as the only way into and out of the Gambaskloof, making the approach itself central to the journey. Rather than a sequence of unrelated stops, the episode’s route connects the pass, the town and the single access road in a clear out-and-back progression. Its focus is the motorcycle ride through this part of Southern Africa and the road leading toward the valley.
