For the Long Way Down Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman have travelled from John O'Groats, Scotland, down through Africa to the most southern point of South Africa -- Cape Agulhas. As with the Long Way Round, they stopped off along the way to visit UNICEF projects to raise awareness and funds for children.
In Ethiopia, Ewan and Charley visited mine awareness projects supported by UNICEF. They met with children who have lost limbs in mine accidents and have witnessed for themselves how important it is that children are aware of the dangers from mines.
Ewan and Charley also met a girl who is one of the first to receive a UNICEF mobility cycle, these help disabled children to lead normal lives, such as enabling them to get to school and continue their education.

Iran and Saudit Arabia.
