The Long Way Round The Long Way Round tells the story of an epic journey and an amazing adventure. It follows Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as they try to ride all the way round the world on their motorbikes. Starting in London on 14 April 2004 they spend three and a half months travelling through Europe, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, across the Pacific Ocean to Alaska, and then down through Canada and across the USA all the way to New York. The journey started as a dream when Ewan noticed that it was possible to ride from Europe through Russia all the way to Alaska. Picking up the phone he called his best friend and asked him to come over for dinner. Once Charley arrived, Ewan tried to persuade him to join him in the adventure of a lifetime. It didn’t take much to persuade Charley to go. After months of preparation they set off and rode through Belgium and Germany. In the beginning it was like any other bike ride except that rather than going home for the night they had more than 20,000 miles of road ahead of them. From Ukraine they crossed into Kazakhstan where they travelled across some of the most difficult roads they could imagine. However, worse was to come in Mongolia where the roads simply didn’t exist and then in Siberia where they rode the length of the Road of Bones. The programme captures some of the most interesting moments and gives us a good idea of what the journey was like. It shows Ewan and Charley riding through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world and takes us with them on the adventure of a lifetime.
