Summary

Winner of the British Book Awards, Popular Non-Fiction Award, 2008.

Eighteen countries. Five shock absorbers. Two bikers. One amazing adventure.

After their fantastic trip round the world in 2004, fellow actors and bike fanatics Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman couldn't shake the travel bug. Inspired by their UNICEF visits to Africa, they knew they had to go back and experience this extraordinary continent in more depth.

Joining up once more with producer/directors Russ Malkin and David Alexanian and the Long Way Round team, and with two new BMWs loaded up for the trip, their route took them from John O'Groats at the northernmost tip of Scotland to Cape Agulhas on the southernmost tip of South Africa.

Riding though spectacular scenery, often in extreme temperatures, Ewan and Charley faced their hardest challenges yet. With their trademark humour and honesty, they tell their story: the drama, the dangers, and the sheer exhilaration of riding together again, though a continent filled with magic and wonder.

After The Long Way Round my expectations were high but this was a bit of a flop for me.

I expected better.

A bit of a letdown

it managed to condense Africa into about 2 hours . having seen the long way down and long way round I feel both books are far too short however the content within is enjoyable

Too short!
