Long Way Down: Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman Complete Africa
The news came in over the weekend: Ewan and Charley have finished their motorcycle trek through Africa. It took them just 85 days to travel over 15,000 miles through 14 countries, from Scotland down to Cape Town, South Africa. And that's including almost a week's time spent at border crossings alone."We feel fantastic, and absolutely brilliant," Charley told BBC Breakfast news. "It's been a long, long ride, which has been the fun part, but getting here and arriving in Cape Town is just fantastic. And the thought of sitting on a motorbike in Scotland, and then arriving here is wonderful."
I for one cannot wait for the television series to begin. Long Way 'Round was -- as Charley would say -- absolutely brilliant. I've seen the entire thing at least a few times, and plan on watching it once more before I head off to Eastern Europe in October.
Thanks goes to Jaunted for the tip.

Charley, What does the upside down trident on your right saddle bag mean? This is on the BMW from Long Way Round. I've watched the DVD twice and feel like I have been on the trip also. It opened my eyes up to the amazing world we live in.
