Synopsis

Following the phenomenal success of Long Way Round, Race to Dakar and Long Way Down, adventurer extraordinaire Charley Boorman is back with a brand new voyage. Charley, travelling with his best friend and director, Russ Malkin, is faced with the utmost challenge: to get himself from Wicklow County in Ireland to Sydney, Australia by any means of transportation available. From yaks to Yugos, trucks to trawlers and ferries to fruit boats, no mode of moving transport is overlooked as Charley negotiates his way through 25 countries and over 20,000 miles.

Taking in Eastern Europe and the undiscovered countries of far Western Asia, moving across India and high up into the Himalayas, Charley mixes his passion for travelling with his love of meeting people and appreciating some of the world’s most incredible offerings. This is an exhilarating story uncovering a vast array of exciting vehicles that in turn unleashes the flavour of each nation visited. A must-watch for all.

4.0 out of 5 stars by all means wait till the full version comes out, 14 Oct 2008
By Mr. S. gilbert "cresshead" (melton Mowbray England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
hi
i've been watching this on iplayer and it's a great program the only thing i'd say is w.a.i.t until the full 'extended version' hits the shops the production company have a habit of releasing the product on dvd then re releasing it with more added bonus content just a couple of months later...that's what happened with the long way down and i bought the first version so felt somewhat annoyed at being short changed on extra's by being enthusiastic about the program...would have been nice to be given the option of a download area for those who were first to buy..still learned my lesson and will wait fo the proper dvd version this time.

other than that this is a great journey to watch charlie 'do his thing'

stee

4.0 out of 5 stars Give this a chance, 2 Oct 2008
By Mrs. J. C. Pike - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've really enjoyed this series. Charley gets a bad press and I myslef have grown to like the guy more after reading all the books and watching the DVDs. His enthusiasm is infectious and he doesnt moan like Ewan Mcgregor. Long way Round was super but this series is entertaining and a good watch

5.0 out of 5 stars Charley Boorman Fan, 9 Mar 2009
By Denny "Seri the White Wolf" (Scarborough, N Yorks UK) - See all my reviews
For anybody who is a fan of Charley Boorman, this is a must. I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD, it felt like I was with them on the trip. Very interesting, and educational. It is just as good as Long way down and Long way round, even though Ewan isn't in it. I heartily recommend this DVD. What an adventure!!
