About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ Southern Africa series, the film follows a leg of an ongoing motorcycle journey rather than focusing on equipment or riding instruction. Its central thread is the move away from Bulungula and the progress towards Hogsback. The description frames the episode around both the solo ride and an unplanned event on the way, bringing a human encounter into the travel story. At 21 minutes and 49 seconds, it presents one distinct stage of the larger journey through South Africa.
The journey
The departure point is Bulungula, on South Africa’s Wild Coast, and the intended destination is Hogsback, described as a tiny place in the misty mountains.

That moment provides a second strand to the ride, alongside the progress between the coast and the mountain destination. The film’s focus remains on this particular passage through South Africa and the encounter along the way.
