post Long Way Down

Filed under: Travel — Rob

I didn’t know about this, but it seems Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman are at it again. This time they’re motorcycling from Scotland to South Africa, covering 15,000 miles and 14 countries, in a new BBC series Long Way Down.

I loved their around the world trip in Long Way Round. I watched every episode of the series, multiple times, and tore through their fantastic book. Both, the series and the book, were amazing and really made it easy to imagine yourself struggling down the dirt roads of the Mongolian countryside on your own BMW GS.

The new series airs this fall, and Amazon has their book listed, so we’ll soon have a new adventure with which to follow along. Can’t wait!

  1. Is it shallow that you had me at Ewan McGregor?

  3. Ewan McGregor in South Africa? Where? When? Where? Ho hum, probably missed all the excitement, as usual. Sigh.

  4. They apparently just finished the trip this week, so you just missed him I’m afraid.
