Actor Ewan Mcgregor (Moulin Rouge) and his best friend Charley Boorman (son of director John Boorman) present this chronicle of their endeavor to circumnavigate the World on motorbikes, traveling for three months through some of the harshest terrain imaginable.
Featuring original diary entries, travel maps, mileage charts, and dozens of photographs, this is a freewheeling, fully charged, and uproariously entertaining book about two world-famous individuals who chose the road not taken...and made the journey worthwhile..
Long Way Round is the result of their four-month, 20,000-mile joyride.
Long Way Round Beginning in London, Ewan and Charley chased their Shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia; Across the Pacific to Alaska; then down through Canada all the way to New York.
So he picked up the phone and called his fellow actor-slash-biker friend Charley Boorman and told him it was time to hit the road....
It was a revelation he couldn\'t get out of his head.
Poring over a map of the World at home one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan Mcgregor -- acclaimed 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 started as a daydream.
