I found out recently that Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman just completed another epic motorcycle road trip from Scotland to South Africa. Their first journey was back in 2004 when they rode around the world in 115 days on two BMW R1150 GS bikes. They filmed the entire experience and made a TV series called Long Way Round. It was a fantastic show, and I’ve watched it all the way through several times. It was funny, poignant, dramatic and suspenseful, and you don’t have to be interested in motorcycles to enjoy it. It’s a DVD box set that’s well worth checking out, and I can’t wait for the next series, slated to come out in October.
