For anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to cast aside their cares, gas up their motorcycle, and hit the road for the adventure of a lifetime, this series allows them to experience the thrill of just such a vacation as experienced from the perspective of travelers and long-time best-friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. Beginning in London, England, McGregor and Boorman set for a 20,000 mile trip that will ultimately lead them straight into New York City. Along the way the pair attempt to keep their BMW R 1150 GS motorcycles running smoothly while encountering an endless collection of colorful characters. Four short years later McGregor and Boorman would set out for adventure once again, this time traveling from John O'Groats, Scotland to the southernmost point of Africa in The Long Way Down. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In 2004, adventurers Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman mounted their BMW R 1150 GS motorcycles and rode from London to New York in Long Way Round; four years later, they were back on their bikes and ready to chase adventure from John O'Groats, Scotland, to the southernmost point of Africa in Long Way Down, cameras loaded and rolling every kilometer of the way. As the two fearless travelers venture across Libya, over the sun-scorched sands of Sudan, through the barren tribal landscapes of Ethiopia, and down into Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Botswana, they encounter a fascinating array of people while experiencing the kind of thrills that one only gets when traveling by motorcycle. Covering a total of 15,000 miles over the course of three months, the pair is accompanied on their travels by executive producers/directors Russ Malkin and David Alexanian. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
