Was it a MISTAKE trying to get up this volcano in CAMEROON? [S7-E69]
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This Season 7 motorcycle-travel episode follows a ride in Cameroon from Foumban to Melong, with visits to Ekom Falls and Man And Woman Lake. Rain makes the journey difficult, including the ride up to the lake on top of a volcano.
About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ “Return to Africa” season, this episode combines travel between Foumban and Melong with stops at two natural attractions around Melong. The route’s destination is not only the famous Ekom Falls: the film also follows a ride up to Man And Woman Lake, described as being on top of a volcano. Persistent rain is the main challenge identified in the description, shaping the day’s travel and making the journey hard. The episode therefore centres on both reaching these places and the difficulty of getting there in wet conditions.
The journey
The stated ride is from Foumban to Melong, in Cameroon. Around Melong, the journey branches into visits to Ekom Falls and Man And Woman Lake. The description singles out the ascent to the lake as a demanding part of the day, with rain repeatedly making travel difficult. It does not specify the road surface, distance, exact route between stops or the conditions at the falls, so the film’s travel interest rests on the documented progression from the inter-town ride to these nearby destinations and the weather-related challenge along the way.
People, places and moments
The places named give the episode a clear geographical focus: Foumban and Melong frame the ride, while Ekom Falls and Man And Woman Lake provide its principal stops. The lake’s position on a volcano makes the ride up to it a central moment, and the rain supplies the day’s recurring obstacle. The available description does not identify other travellers or local encounters, or provide further detail about the volcano, so this is best approached as a focused motorcycle journey through Cameroon rather than a broader account of the region.
What to expect
- A motorcycle ride from Foumban to Melong, Cameroon
- Visits to Ekom Falls and Man And Woman Lake
- Rain complicating the journey, especially the ride up to the lake
