About this film
Part of OnHerBike’s Africa, Round The World series, the film is an episode from a journey that began in Australia in April 2017. The rider set out on a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS, calling the journey “Are We There Yet”. For this Cape Peninsula ride, Greg and Mel accompany her. The episode was recorded in March 2022 and runs for 19 minutes. Its focus is the ride and the changing views between the named stops, rather than a technical look at the motorcycle or a review of equipment.
The journey
The route takes in several of the Cape Peninsula’s best-known destinations: Boulders Beach, the Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak and Cape Town. The description presents the ride as a succession of scenic stretches, with the riders taking in the views as they travel from one place to the next. A quick visit to a local brewery adds a short break to the day. Together, these details make the episode a compact account of motorcycle travel in the Cape Town area, shared by three riders and centred on the landscape along the way.
