5Long Way Round  Sep 07, 2010
Hi, A friend told me about this DVD & the book & said I would like it. He was right, I loved it! I love adventure & the DVD had lots of that.

5Best Two Wheel Travel Inspiration on DVD  Jul 12, 2010
Ewan and Charlie travel across Europe, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, Russia and the US. Much of the terrain is off-road or no road. Their trials are so challenging that a good piece of the path, The Road of Bones, is impassible, but not impossible, they push through and even the crew are forced on camera. Riveting. Ewan and Charlie are heart-warming, authentic and charming.

5Great documentary of an epic adventure  Mar 30, 2010
If you have a sense of adventure then Long Way Round is a must have DVD. Inspired by Jupiter's Travels this documentary follows Charley and Ewan (and their cameraman Claudio) as they travel around the globe on BMW motorbikes, passing through Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Canada and America.

Their trip is jam packed with adventures of all kinds from gun toting mafia in Ukraine, raging rivers on the Road of Bones in far east Russia, to bike accidents on the roads of America. It's a test of character, endurance and machine as they cross every terrain imaginable.

There are many reasons to love Long Way Round including the chemistry between Ewan and Charley, seeing heavy duty motorbikes in action or the idea of an epic adventure. I personally enjoyed seeing the project from inception to completion, watching as they pulled together their team, drew up their route and set off on a task they were unsure of completing. There's an innocence to this trip that their later adventures perhaps missed.

Easily the best version of Long Way Down is the Special Edition and is worth the additional cost. The extra footage pads out the show to give it a more complete, less rushed feel. You can also get Long Way Round the book in multiple formats including a beautifully illustrated edition.

If you enjoyed this you may also enjoy their other adventures including Long Way Down, Race To Dakar, By Any Means or By Any Means: Sydney to Tokyo.

5Greatest motorcycle adventure caught on tape  Mar 14, 2010
Any one who truly loves to ride can appreciate this amazing adventure Ewan and Charlie go on. One part of riding that has always appealed to me is the unknown & exploration that you can only get from riding on a motorcycle. Watch the people they meet, the landscapes they see, the obstalces they undure and the dangers that they face. Roads have new meanings as they trek further east, across Russia. Be a part of there adventure and bet you will be thinking about planning your own by the end of the series

5Great! Fast service  Feb 06, 2010
