In 2004 Charley Boorman completed his astonishing around-the-world bike trip with his friend Ewan McGregor.  The journey left him exhausted, exhilarated and hungry for a new challenge.

And what greater challenge than the Dakar Rally? Beginning in Lisbon and ending in the Senagalese capital of Dakar, the rally takes competitors through 15000 kilometres of treacherous terrain, and is widely regarded as the most dangerous race on earth.

Charley teamed up with producer Russ Malkin to set about making his dream a reality. But even after months of gruelling practice nothing can really prepare a rider for this ultimate off-road event.  With his team mates Simon Pavey and Matt Hall, Charley faced temperatures that soared from below freezing to more than 54 degrees celcius, rode through shifting sands, rock-strewn roads and stinging winds; and faced breakdowns miles from civilisation.

In this book he recounts his extraordinary adventures, and offers an insight into the history of the race. He also follows the stories of other riders in the rally - an eccentric, dedicated band of professionals and rookies who all dream of one thing: reaching the finish line.

Soft cover, good condition.  The cover shows very minor signs of wear.
