Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman travel down through Africa in a gripping and wildly entertaining new biking adventure.
“After their fantastic trip around the world in 2004, fellow actors and bike fanatics Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman couldn’t shake the travel bug. And after an inspirational UNICEF visit to Africa, they knew they had to go back and experience this continent in more depth. Riding from John O’Groats right down to Cape Town, they will discover spectacular but unforgiving terrain, rich cultures and unforgettable local characters. LONG WAY DOWN tells their story – the dramas, the dangers and the sheer exhilaration of riding together again.
With their trademark humour and honesty, Ewan and Charley embark on their incredible journey, testing their endurance, biking skills and friendship to the limits – on the LONG WAY DOWN.”
BBC 2 Long Way Down series starts 28th October at 9pm for six weeks.
