BBC Two - Charley Boorman: Sydney to Tokyo by Any Means, Episode 2

Charley arrives in Papua New Guinea, where he goes dirt biking with a group of locals.

Charley Boorman travels from Sydney to Tokyo. In Papua New Guinea, he goes dirt biking with some locals, and heads for the remote village of Gapun, only accessible by water.

Charley Boorman embarks on his second series of By Any Means, this time starting his adventure in Sydney and travelling up the Pacific Rim through Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and eventually finishing in Tokyo, Japan.

Charley arrives in Papua New Guinea, where he goes dirt biking with a group of locals on a previously unridden and dangerous route. This country has one of the worst reputations in the southern hemisphere for hostility, so Charley has to have his wits about him. He heads for the remote village of Gapun, home to an isolated tribe and located in the middle of 30 miles of mangrove, but only accessible by water.

Always heading north with Tokyo in sight, Charley really gets under the skin of this beautiful, unexplored country.
