Long Way Round

... I can safely say that during the first three months the only thing we made a point of watching was "Long Way Round", which had already been screened on Sky One. My feelings about the book more or less mirror what I thought about the television series but I bought the book on impulse when ... Read review

20, 000 Miles too long!

Advantages: Features some places we rarely hear about
Disadvantages: Moaning, over-privileged pseudo-heroes

...travel books. But I have long moaned about the fact that there are few travel programmes these days devoted to independent or adventure travellers. Why would some one suddenly commission one now?

The answer must, surely, be that this expedition was carried pout by Scottish actor Ewan McGregor and his friend and fellow-thespian Charley Boorman. I wonder if two nobodies proposing this trip would have been quite so lucky in landing a ...
...a short while, it's not long before they are grumbling again, often at the slightest setback and all this with the best support team they could possibly have.

In it's favour the book is well written and anyone who has not seen the television show will probably find some of it fairly gripping. There is adventure a-plenty in terms of the cycling - falls, injuries, roads that vanish altogether, being carried on lorries across fast-flowing ... more

Chasing Shadows Across The World

Advantages: Details a great journey, honestly written
Disadvantages: Slow to start, occasionally dull, hard to empathise with the journey

...and Friend take a rather long trip ~ Last year, setting off in April from London, best friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman set off on a wildly ambitious journey - by motorcycle to New York, via Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Siberia amongst other places (i.e. "the long way round"). To fund the expedition, the pair sold the rights to a TV show, to which this book is the sister. Those responsible for the funding and management followed behind in support ...
...lengthy chapter takes an awful long time in establishing: a)We like bikes, b)We have done for a while, c)Bikes are dangerous, but fun. This collection of reflections on youth and biking anecdotes is fine, but when all grouped into the first chapter, becomes monotonous and provides a tedious introduction to the book. Better, I feel, would have been to scrap, or at least substantially reduce this section, and re-distribute the little stories more evenly ...

Chasing Shadows

Advantages: Lots of interesting snippets
Disadvantages: Not for everyone

Long Way Round – Chasing Shadows Across the World by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman is the companion book to the TV series of the same name, which saw Charley and Ewan journey 20,000 miles in increasingly tough terrain from London to New York, crossing the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia along the way. I absolutely adored both the Long Way Round and the Long Way Down when they were on the television and after reading the Long Way Down ...
...I read this one. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed every single page of this book and the true spirit of the boys that travelled it and the journey itself really shines through. The book’s blurb in my opinion really epitomises the whole journey and therefore the book. It explains how what started as a daydream became true and how two friends could against the odds realise their dream. “It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at ...

The Long Way Round!

What makes 'Long Way Round' such an interesting read? 'Long Way Round' by Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman is an interesting read because we learn that we are all just people, regardless of our race, location or occupation. In this essay I am going to explain why this book ...
...London to New York the long way round. Along the way they encounter many difficulties and meet a lot of people form different cultures. Going through, places like, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Alaska. To start of with, we are all just people, regardless of our race. Well in the book, Charlie and Ewan meet lots of people of different race to them. People from all over the world. Like meeting trafitional women in Mongolia. Ewan managed to have convocation ...

Easy Ride?

Advantages: Funny and sometimes moving
Disadvantages: bit complicated if you have no knowledge of bikes

In 2003, in between films one Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor noticed that it was possible to ride a motorbike all the way across the world. Not able to face this mammoth journey alone, he called his best friend Charley Boorman, While Charley thought it a brilliant idea, he believed it to be a pipedream. Until in April 2003, Ewan phoned Charley to tell him that he was taking eight months of work next year. Across 20,000 miles on what sometimes ...
...through Europe, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, across the pacific into Alaska and then onto to Canada and America. I am not a biker person, so at the beginning of the book when both Ewan and Charley were talking about where their love of bikes came from and what bikes they owned, I had no idea of what they were talking about. But it didn't matter. The story is not all about bikes, and you don't need to understand the machines to understand ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Long Way Round"

By any means read this book!

Advantages: can really visualise text. More information than what was on the tv series.
Disadvantages: leaves you wanting more

If you loved the programme you will love this book. Or if you did not see the programme then read this book! Charley Boorman travels from his home in Ireland to Australia 'by any means' which means by transport that is used in the countries he travels through. It is a really interesting read and Charley does a really good job of describing his journey and surroundings. You can almost believe that you are there with him! It details transport you never knew exisited which is probably the most exciting thing (I am not usually a fan of different types of transport!). There are also a few photos in the book which help you visually some of his travels. If you liked long way round and long way down I would very highly recommend this book. ...

Review of By Any Means: His Brand New Adventure from Wicklow to Wollongong - Charley Boorman

Must Read.

Advantages: Very interesting
Disadvantages: There is none

After watching the TV programme of By Any Means by Charlie Boorman i thought i just had to read his book. I am interested in travelling so the book seemed right up my street. Once i started reading it i couldn't put it down. It was so interesting reading about all the different countries that Charlie, Russ and Mungo travelled through. Also, because they were travelling "by any means" the book was even more absorbing as you get a true picture of each country and how it functions. Not only that, but you also get comedy in the book as Charlie writes about funny things that happened on the way. Some of which you didnt get to see on the TV. I loved the book so much that i went to see Charlie Boorman talk about his journey, such a nice guy! If you liked Long Way Round and Long Way Down with both Charlie Boorman and Ewan Mc ...

Review of By Any Means: His Brand New Adventure from Wicklow to Wollongong - Charley Boorman

What next - Long Way Up?!

Advantages: Enjoyable adventure
Disadvantages: Made me want to learn to ride a motorbike!

This was a book I bought my husband for christmas, which he really wanted to read after seeing the TV series. It is written by actors Ewan McGregor (Star wars, Miss Potter, Moulin Rouge....) and his best friend, Charley Boorman (Hope and Glory, The Bunker...), who met on a film set and discovered a shared love of motorbikes. In 2004, the two set off on their first motorbike adventure, Long Way Round, where they traveled east around the globe. After the success of that journey, thy soon decided to start planning their next adventure, and that is where Long Way Down fits in. A three month journey from the northerly tip of Scotland to the very south of Africa, covering nearly 15, 000 miles on the bikes and nearly 20, 000 miles all together. The journey was intended to raise funds and awareness for several charities which the two are ...
