SEASON 1 | 2 | 3

Episode 1

For the last three weeks, Barry and his brother-in-law Joe have been preparing non-stop for The Ride. They have had to get themselves and their horses into prime condition.

With all the training done and all the logistics in place, they seem ready for the starting line, but are they really prepared for what lies ahead?

Episode 2

Barry Armitage and Joe Dawson have started the epic ten-day ride from Durban on the South East coast of South Africa to Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape.

Watch as they battle gated communities, unsympathetic drivers, tar roads and industrial areas, persistent rainfall and rides far into the night.

Episode 3

After making it through the sprawling suburbia south of Durban, the guys battle it through the rough terrain of the Wild Coast.

An uphill slog on the R61, in 36 degree heat, drains their energy and when they make a wrong turn that evening, they question whether they will make it to the Old Bunting Mission Station.

Episode 4

Barry and Joe are more than halfway through their epic ten-day horseback adventure from Durban to Grahamstown but they are facing an uphill battle. After they take a wrong turn, they fall way behind schedule.

Will they get to Butterworth in time?

Episode 5

It's Day 7 of The Ride. The horses have been working hard and Barry and Joe's bodies are well and truly battered after a total of 77 hours in the saddle.

The guys will be driven back to their pick up point 40kms outside of Butterworth and their mission is to not only make up for lost time but also do it fast enough to get a good night's sleep - a must for the exhausted team.

Episode 6

Eight grueling days have passed since Barry Armitage and Joe Dawson set out to relive Dick King's ten-day historical journey from Durban to Grahamstown. Now they face their final test and they have no time for anything to go wrong.

Will they have the mental strength after only three hours sleep to see them through to their final destination of Grahamstown?
