About this product

Product Information

It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor - actor and self-confessed bike nut - noticed that it was possible to ride all the way round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait from Russia to Alaska. It was a revelation he couldn't get out of his head. So he picked up the phone and called Charley Boorman, his best friend, fellow actor and bike enthusiast. 'Charley,' he said. 'I think you ought to come over for dinner...'From London to New York, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America. But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres of their big BMWs, their troubles started. Exhaustion, injury and accidents tested their strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather and turbulent politics challenged their stamina. They were chased by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with very large guns in the Ukraine, hassled by the police, and given bulls' testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads. And yet despite all these obstacles they managed to ride over 20,000 miles in four months, changing their lives forever in the process. As they travelled they documented their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures - a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book about two friends riding round the world together and, against all the odds, realising their dream.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

  • Great companion to the DVD

    We watched both series on Netflix and loved them, so I got the books and DVDs!

  • I didn't understand it at first!

    I enjoyed reading "Round" very much. Perhaps I'm one of the few who didn't realize that both were movie stars. We have the DVD and both my wife and daughter have watched it...both more than twice! What I enjoyed very much about both the DVD and book was the very human aspect they brought to the ride. Their interaction with UNICEF and comments about the people they met I found very touching. The constant theme of ..."we all are not that much different...we all get up each morning try to get through the day and go home to our families at night" seems to stay with me each night when I watch the World News. I can't help but wonder if we had more compassion in the world how much better we all would be.

  • Great Travellog

    it is great to read about people traveling

  • Long Way Round

    I had watched the DVD and loved it so I thought I would read the book. The book was a great read and gave much more insight as to what was going on in their heads on this awsome adventure. I like the way these two would take turns describing the trip and getting the two prepectives. You come away wishing you could be friends with these guys and go with them on their next ride. So Ewan, Charley, if you read this I'm in! (I wish!)

  • roud the world on a bimmer

    Fantastic adventure story, proof that huge egos and corporate sponsers can get anyone around the world on a top heavy Bimmer.
