To make things even less exciting, Ewanâ€™s wife joins in on the last leg of the trip and then they changed the trip route to make it more comfortable for her.

I mean who walks along side their motorcycle on encountering little mud on the road? Heck even my fully loaded Pulsar 180 can do that stretch with me on board without breaking a sweat, I like to believe those BMW R 1200 were more than capable of tackling it and more! The duo and rest of the camera crew did try to spice things up by showing danger, excitement, hardship and what not, but at the end of it all, it appeared more fake than real. In fact it doesnâ€™t do any justice to Africa, there is just so much to see and do there, yet it just seemed like a road trip between Delhi – Mumbai! However Long way Down failed to live up to the expectation set by Long way around.įirst off the whole documentary and trip seems to have been done in haste and just to make some more money, rather than for actual sense of adventure and travel. This acting duo had previously made Long way around, another motorcycle travel documentary which I had liked and appreciated. This year it has collaborated with VOGUE.COM to offer all the latest fashion news throughout the year.Just finished watching the sixth and final episode of Long Way Down, a motorcycle travel documentary by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. Less limited-edition but equally coveted are Smythson's Fashion Diaries: last year, for the tenth anniversary of the Fashion Diary, Smythson asked the likes of Alexander McQueen and Giambattista Valli to design an exclusive diary. Guests also took part in a raffle to raise money for UNICEF, prizes including one of the company's Nancy bags and a limited-edition Smythson, handmade, leather bound set of Long Way Down, signed by both McGregor and Boorman. The book celebrates McGregor and Boorman's journey from John O'Groats to South Africa by motorcycle, the journey of which is now part of a documentary on BBC2. Arriving on their motorcycles, they were met by Smythson CEO Paddy Byng and a host of guests, including Helena Bonham-Carter, Tim Burton and Jamie Dornan, who sipped Veuve Clicquot and Belvedere cocktails. EWAN McGregor and Charley Boorman made a special appearance at the Smythson store on Bond Street this week to celebrate the launch of their new book, Long Way Down.
