About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ Southern Africa series, this episode centres on a motorcycle journey through Zimbabwe’s mountains. Its story is shaped by a straightforward but consequential choice: begin riding after heavy rain, while visibility remains poor, and deal with the challenging conditions along the way. The focus is on the ride itself and the weather confronting it, rather than on a review or workshop topic.
The journey
The episode opens with a decision to ride following torrential downpour in the mountains. The route is described as taking place in the Zimbabwean mountains, where visibility is low enough to make riding difficult. The description establishes the weather as the defining condition of this leg of the journey; the account stays with that immediate challenge rather than offering a wider itinerary. As an episode in an ongoing Southern Africa motorcycle journey, it presents a travel day shaped by the choice to continue despite the rain.
