Totally looks like they are ripping into mordor at Mach-ringwraith speed.

One does not simply ride into Mordor... except this time. This time it's allowed

It's always cool to see new places ! In this case I never thought that Ethiopia has a such beautiful landscape !

Hey Dan, great photo. Crazy looking hills. Is this another secret compass adventure?

DanMilner (Dec 1, 2015 at 21:28)

Yep secretcompass.com sorted the logistics for this one just like our afghan trip with Matt Hunter 2 years ago. Great company to go with - they live and breathe adventure.

The song "Radioactive" pops into my head with this sweet pic. certainly not the first place i'd think to go ride but looks awesome!

Now that is scenery. I agree with gladiax87, I never knew Ethiopia had such topography. Truly epic looking.

Wow I hope there's a video for this.
