I've watched/rewatched some recently including:

Mondo Enduro
Terra Circa
LWR
LWD
Race to Dakar

Anyone know of any other decent DVDs, biking or 4x4 overlanding ones?

What about 'by any means' with Charlie Boorman - he uses a bike a lot in both series.

There is a young Scottish guy called Mark *somebody* that cycles everywhere. Think he has just finished an exploration recently. I will go and find more details.

He just recently cycled down the spine of the Americas, has previously cycled round the world.

I have watched both series of By Any Means, but I'd heard nothing about this Mark Beaumont documentary, it starts on BBC1 next week so I'll definitely watch that, cheers Thumbs Up .

Try Dave Gorman: America Unchained

He travels across America from West to East with the goal to not give any money to 'The Man'. It's very good.

Clicky

Went to see this at a local small cinema last night. I enjoyed it, although they didn't spend all that much time in Morocco, and there wasn't that much video footage of Morocco. They seemed to really like Gibraltar, although it didn't look all that impressive to me.

My parents had previously seen this and it was the same people from the Casablanca trip above. Their not in so can't ask what they thought, but they did say they enjoyed it, and they went back yesterday to see the previous trip at the cinema, so it can't have been so bad!
