In the first series of Extreme Frontiers, Charley Boorman is back on his bike exploring the world’s second largest country – home to some of the most stunning and challenging terrain known to man. Charley and Russ Malkin embarked on a 10,300-mile journey across Canada. Mainly on motorbikes, the pair visited all of the ten Canadian Provinces, two frontiers, three oceans and four extreme frontiers from East to West.

Canada is a country of extremes, each episode saw them attempt a series of hair-raising tasks and Charley knows all about pushing the limits. He goes dirt biking in New Brunswick, dives through old shipwrecks in Tobermory and rides along Butch Cassidy’s old Outlaw Trail. He also meets a fascinating mix of people on his journey. As he heads across Canada, he plays ice hockey with a legend of the game; spends a day as a Mountie cadet and nearly meets a ghost in Winnipeg . . .
