Just the other day I was talking to my girlfriend about “The Long Way Round”, the first great motorbike documentary from Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman. I was saying how much we need to see it….. then I was given this opportunity from Social Spark to talk about a brand new crazy road trip from this pair.

Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Down is a brand new journey charting their journey from the tip of Scotland to Cape Town, South Africa on their trusty BMW motorcycles.

I loved the idea of traveling across the world after watching the first one and I am sure that will be more than reignited watching this one.

The closest I have done to this is a road trip me and a few friends embarked on a few years ago. We started in South Easy England and drove into France and 500 miles down the West Coast to our destination…. a small town called Condom. It was a pretty quick trip but we saw some magical places including Dune Du Pyla, Europe’s biggest sand dunes. Hardly Egypt but impressive none the less!

A great thing about The Long Way Down is that they are releasing a theatrical version of the film on July 31st, which will be broadcast to theaters nationwide on that date, and only that date. If I find it in a local cinema I will definitely try and catch it in this form.
