Facing a brand new set of challenges the intrepid pair discover spectacular but unforgiving terrain, rich cultures and unforgettable local characters. They travel from John O'Groats to Cape Town descending through Western Europe and Africa before arriving at the southern most tip of the continent. On their incredible journey their endurance, biking skills, and friendship are tested to the limit. They are partnered along the way by friends and director/producers David Alexanian and Russ Malkin who were responsible for organizing the expedition and filming the documentary. This 3 disc special edition contains the entire extended 10 part TV series of Long Way Down with an additional 2 hours of episode footage. It also features one hour of new extras, including Ewan and Charley's "The Missing Face" documentary - the story of the pair's first trip to Africa, unseen and extended footage, enchanced photo gallery and interactive route maps. |  |

Enjoyed the Trip Jul 24, 2010 What could be more enjoyable than another road trip with Ewan and Charley? Although this trip did not really suck me into the experience as much as Long Way Round, it was an exciting trip to watch. There was definitely more of the support crew here as opposed to the first trip. This both hindered and helped them. I love the whole ambiance of the three (can't forget Claudio, the cameraman) of them going off on their own and exploring the continent and its people. Yet on the other hand, I did enjoy having the chance to see how the support crew handled things also. Eve joined them for a bit of the journey and subtly changed the dynamics while she was there. However I did not find her to be too intrusive. When she did leave, I found myself enjoying the byplay between the two boys even more. The scenery and people were so rich in color and life. It made me long for a chance to take an adventure like this. I would recommend this for anyone who likes adventure but just cannot afford the trip. Very enjoyable.
Educative Doco Apr 06, 2010 I learn much of Africa from this doco-of beautiful places Rwanda and Uganda present especially.
Highly recommended.
An enjoyable and engaging video with amazing scenery and storyline Mar 18, 2010 My wife and I love to travel and so this DVD was too tempting to pass up. It is not formatted for North America and so our DVD player would not play it, but I set it up on my laptop, added some good speakers and we settled in for a great visual and narrative journey from London to South Africa.
Much of the dialog and visuals are recorded conversations and comments from helmet mounted cameras and microphones and so are at times muffled, but the gist of what they are saying and the accompanying images are more than explanatory. Their well recorded encounters with Rawandan holocaust survivors and other nationals as they travel are moving and powerful in many cases.
I recommend this series if you love travel, especially motocycle travel, as well as their Long Way Around Series(even better!). WARNING - there is a fair amount of coarse language and so this is probably not appropriate for younger children.
AMAZING! Feb 11, 2010 Loved this series from beginning to end.
My husband and I actually caught a special showing of this series at our local theater and loved it! We're shared it with many motorcycle enthusiasts as well as folks who love to travel- whether or not they get to do much traveling. I'm sure you'll dig it and the great adventure you'll share in from the comfort of your living room.
Enjoy!
Even better than LWR! Feb 06, 2010 Lots of fun, cool scenery, and good "plot", with Ewen's wife's involvement. Can't imagine where they would go now, although we'd love to see wherever they went!
