The Friday Review: Long Way Round

Some of you may or may not have seen this DVD, released in 2004. For wannabe travellers and travel enthusiasts  it’s a must see. The idea for the show is Ewan Mcgregor and Charley Boorman travelling around the world from London to New York using their motorbikes. All in all they travelled 18,887 miles (30,396 km) visiting twelve contries , They started in April 2004 and ended their journey in July of the same year. I had a great time watching the programme, you feel as though you are with them on the journey and it will give you the want to go travelling for sure!
