i think its gr8 him and his m8, just doin wat they love and ur totally right about Ewan McGregor, i interviewed in london to discuss LWD and he is a gr8 guy.
Met CB twice at UK shows, nice bloke. loved L/W/Round got book, DVD's (signed), race 2 dakar etc: lets face it.. who wou;dn't do it given the opp' and the backing.
This one is the long way down,,from Scotland (UK) to South Africa! Usually it is aired on TV about 6 months after the DVD has been released!
The other journey is called the Long Way Round in which they travelled from London (UK) to New York via Europe, Russia and Alaska. This was brilliant to watch,,i am hoping the Long Way Down is gonna be just as good to watch!

To bedrocker83 you know nothing about me so shut the **** up, some of the stuff i've endured would make you eat your own words, how do you think he travels round the world on a push bike?? this is self promotion pure and simple. African charitys just fund civil wars get real!.
Your Pathetic Using Your Past Too TRY *Note The Try* Too Support Your Point Get Real Corse Its For Real Did You Watch The Long Way Round You Stupid AssHole!
Bugger goin accross africa in full bike gear.... theres nothing around for miles.... You know one of the top 100 things to do before u die is ride a bike nakid :P... any1 tried it?
If you read what Ive put I never said it was the long way round. I KNOW its the long way DOWN. It was everyone else that was telling me it was 'round' and its on DVD
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
he is raising awareness for uniceff and everytime they stop at a large city they meet up with children from unicef ewan mcgregor does amazing charity work this trip has everything to do with charity, (aimed at innit27)
Wonder how much of his vast wealth he's given to charity?? - bit of a catch 22, pointlessly using up fossil fuels to make a TV show increasing global warming, making the African problem even worse??
ewan mcgregor is a national tresure and a valuable asset to scotland i salute the man and the work he is doing for unicef all you on here dissing him are uneducated fools.
I Think some people are thinking about a PREVIOUS trip they filmed ie. 'The Long Way Round'. These two are STILL on this trip and this is 'on the fly' footage of this 'downwards' trip. See the BBC link for current location etc.
There is no DVD for 'Long way Down' yet since its currently in production... as is the TV show!
To get an idea for it do an IMDB search for 'Long Way Round'!!
Ewan doesn't try to seek fame its just a hobby he loves motorbikes he is more hidden from the cameras lets face it hes never is those now magazines and that is he? A lot of people enjoy this aswell as him he is providing it for the viewers and an amazing experience and being recognized for doing this tough trip is a benefit
Its not exactly an original concept. Celebs passing through dirt poor countries moaning about how hot it is. My god we even have ITV showing 3 z-list celebs going on a road trip on route 66 and trying to make out they are working their way on the trip, when you know they are getting a big fat fee for doing the show in the first place.
err...I thought that they do these things for charity organisations, and even if they don't this is way better than any other shite that the tax payers money is wasted on!!
The ride had nothing to do with charity. The two of them are mates and love motorbikes that's all. They brought out a book and the TV documentary off the back of it.
Lets face it if MacGregor wasn't a well known actor it wouldn't have been screened. There is too much celeb driven TV as it is. Its good that they went on such a trip, but I dont find them interesting or endearing travel narrators at all. In fact, they actually put me off watching what should be an interesting program.
Couldn't have put it better myself! I think Ewan McGregor is a self-appreciating arrogant tw*t, who was awful as Obi-Wan, worst bit of casting in the history of Cinema!! (I know it's not related but I can never say McGregor's name without saying something to that effect as well..lol)
True, but bottled water is just as available now as soft drinks. Pepsi is still one of the worst soft drinks as full of caffeine. I'm sure they have loads of bottled water with them. Just makiing the point about dehydration.
Pepsi, coffee, tea, etc do not dehydrate you. They are all useful ways of rehydrating. Whilst caffeine has a mild diuretic effect, the net gain of fluid to the body is overwhemingly positive.
Is that for real? Don't really want to doubt you but I've always been told the exact opposite by a great number of people and would be really interested to know if this statement is true?
Yep. As long as it isn't salt water. That will kill you. You might still feel thirsty after a cup of coffee (etc), but you'll be considerably rehydrated.
Riding on a motorbike you need to wear some protection. It also keeps the sand and dust out thrown up by other vehicles. Also if you are out in the baking sun for hours on end you need to be covered up. Bare flesh catching on the heated metal of the bike would not be pleasant either.
i think its gr8 him and his m8, just doin wat they love and ur totally right about Ewan McGregor, i interviewed in london to discuss LWD and he is a gr8 guy.

Yep, must be really tough getting paid to motorcycle among poor people with full support crew at licence payers expense.
Pepsi is probably the worst thing you can drink in such heat as it dehydrates you further.

Soft drinks are easier to come by than clean water.
