Gordon Buchanan: My Epic Camel Adventure on BBC2 sees Scots adventurer Gordon Buchanan ride on camelback for miles across the vast arid wilderness of the Gobi Desert in the style of the three wise men from the nativity story!
Starting in the west of Mongolia he spends two weeks crossing epic sand dunes, rocky plains and the treacherous Bumbat Mountain with only his camels for company. The solo mission is fraught with danger as Gordon has to earn the camels’ respect and trust, survive icy conditions and navigate vertical rock faces. But he also brings us an extraordinary insight into the lives of camels and how they’ve adapted to survive – and even thrive – in on of the most inhospitable places on the planet.
