Long Way Round

I acquired Long Way Round the other day and just finished watching all 10 episodes. A great series that is. I've always been fascinated by long and demanding journeys that people take on. In this mates Ewan and Charlie decide to ride into the sunset heading east, going around the whole world in 3 months. Starting out in London and ending in New York some 115 days later they crossed countries like Slovakia, Mongolia and parts of Russia. They rode the Road of Bones, visited kids affected by the Chernobyl disaster and spoke to a crazy woodsman who fought his own forest fire in Alaska. An amazing story told by two guys on BMW bikes on the dirt roads less traveled. Highly recommended. Next up, second series, Long Way Down - John o' Groats to Cape Town.
