After their fantastic trip round the world in 2004, fellow
actors and bike fanatics Ewan Mc Gregor and Charley Boorman
couldn''t shake the travel bug. And after an inspirational UNICEF
visit to Africa, they knew they had to go back and experience this
extraordinary continent in more depth. And so they set off on their
15,000-mile journey with two new BMWs loaded up for the trip.
Joining up with producerdirectors Russ Malkin and David Alexanian
and the Long Way Round team, their route took them from John
O''Groats at the northernmost tip of Scotland to Cape Agulhas on the
southernmost tip of South Africa. Riding through spectacular
scenery, often in extreme temperatures, Ewan and Charley faced
their hardest challenges yet. With their trademark humour and
honesty they tell their story - the drama, the dangers and the
sheer exhilaration of riding together again, through a continent
filled with magic and wonder.
