Long Way Down - Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman (2007)
Nothing starts the year off, like a bit of adventure. Grey and wet days seem to be the theme of the summer here in Wellington, this year, so it has been easy to curl up on the couch or bed with my book and ignore what is going on outside the windows.
Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, travel on their bikes once again, this time from John O'Groats in Scotland, through to Capetown in South Africa. Although there is a lot of biking talk throughout the book, it is the personal encounters with everybody they meet along the way, and the places that they pass through that make the book interesting. I enjoyed their way of writing the book , with each taking several paragraphs and seeing things from alternate points of view.
It does make me want to get the dvd out, but not to take up adventure motorbike travelling, 3/5.
