Long Way Down - 4 - 1

Long Way Down is a television series, book and DVD documenting a motorcycle journey undertaken by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, on which they rode south through 18 countries from John o' Groats in Scotland to Cape Agulhas in South Africa via Europe and Africa in 2007. It is a follow-up to the Long Way Round trip of 2004, when the pair rode east from London to New York via Eurasia and North America.

I dunno, got to say I liked 'Long Way Round' better than this one.

@WahKeetcha0 I think it's the difficulty of crossing a war zone. It shows.

I don't want to go through this Eve-Issue again but I think that's where the problems with honesty started, because Charly couldn't and wouldn't say the truth about how he felt about her joining...

[plstrom]

well Africa does not have a feeling , it has a lot of feelings.. there are a lot of "nations" original tribes & nations. so there's very hard to have a feeling of Africa, Ewan...

[aaronmcgill]

same...this one seems like it's posing as long way round... they're not letting it in the same way they did. can't really blame em though... ideas are hard things to let in.

It does not matter where you go, be it an airport, park or a hotel lobby and for that matter Ewans hotel suite, there is always a bloody hippy who has to sit on the floor. Even when there are seats provided. I have stayed in some real shit holes but I have always gone for the chair as I have never come across a comfortable floor.

@dovestones :I agree, Why in hells name did Ewan invite his wife when she cant ride?.. There was no reason for it.(hmm). its very dangerous, very selfish and ruins the dynamics of the team. Im not sexist and dont take me the wrong way, but putting novice female in between these guys, in this terrain was just wrong. Open and honest ?, Charlie you should have put your foot down, Eve should NOT have been there. Ewan - listen to yr mate! .That aside. great film/Adventure well done all of you !

[Silentstar101]

What I find interesting is that when they are filmed in the lobby all sat together, presumably trying to talk it through, there is a woman knelt on the floor in front of them. That's not a joke, but just wondering if she wasn't someone brought in (like corporate negotiation maybe). She definitely wasn't part of the travel group.

[dovestones]

Ewan lists a lot of reasons behind the tension between him and Charlie but fails to mention Charlie is still probably pissed off that Ewan's wife is coming on the trip.

[lotsooo]

its nice that Ewan wanted his wife on the trip but, she is a learner and , without even seeing her ride, surely would be incompetent for anything but learner riding?? Me thinks Ewan/Eve got their way purely because he is a movie star. Oh well just goes to show we're all human, and human do dumb things.
