Overview

In Right to the Edge, Charley Boorman is back in the saddle for a brand-new, adrenaline-fuelled adventure. Whether he's pushing a bike to its limits in the tangled jungles of Papua New Guinea or navigating the crazy streets of Manila with the 'Mad Dogs' biker gang, Charley approaches each new experience with his trademark humour and enthusiasm.

His journey begins by bike, as he races north from Sydney up the Gold Coast. He canoes through ancient rainforests in Papua New Guinea, attends both an unexpected wedding and an astounding funeral in Indonesia, drives a bamboo tuk-tuk in the Philippines and eats deep-fried crickets in Taiwan, before reaching his final destination in Tokyo.

From active volcanoes to coffee plantations to hilltop monasteries, Charley takes the reader on an incredible journey through some of the most spectacular countries in the world.

Synopsis

Using quad bikes, hovercrafts, wooden scooters, canoes, paragliders, and of course his favorite mode of transportation—motorcycle—Charley travels through some of the most exotic and exciting countries in the world. Along the way he encounters fascinating people and tests his endurance to the limit. Packed with adventure, and written with Charley's trademark humor and enthusiasm, Right to the Edge will delight fans and new readers alike.
