I can't wait for this

I watched the Long Way Round avidly when it was on, I have since got the dvd and the book (book is an excellent read esp if you watched it first)

The bbc link has a logs page which will keep me quiet for a little while too

Sheesh.. talk about taking a long route through africa.. mind you, some of those nations (Niger, Chad, CAR) they're avoiding are definitely too risky, so I can't really blame them.

Excellent

I loved the series, watched it at a friend's and got hooked so I bought the DVD as well as the book.
Can't wait

The Long Way Around is one of those shows that was sadly missed by too many, it was bloody brilliant. I will definitely be watching this though, but I might wait for the DVD around Christmas as I horde TV shows on DVD, I really don't like the weekly breaks.

What are the odds of Ewan getting petrol in his eye again?

There is also another biking journey DVD out which is only Charley Boorman which I might pick up, sadly Ewan isn't a part of it.

I think I know the one, I caught a bit of Charley Boorman doing something on Sky 2 ages ago. Was it the Dakar Rally? Meant to watch more of it but it was on at some silly time.

I can't remember, I saw it on a shelf in WH Smith a while back. It's probably quite cheap online.

Yeah, you were right, it's the Dakar one.

Might have to buy that sometime, it looked quite good.
