    Watched it a week or so back.
    The first few eps seems rushed, with them trying to get to some boat on time.

    The rest of the trip was good, except for the wife joining them.
    Over all very good, but not as good as "Long Way Round".
    I finally got my knee down! …and my shoulder …and my pillion’s head.

    All of which is sort of Academic as out here in the rural rump we don't have a Borders. I might visit The Warehouse to see what they are asking.

    Then again I might ask Blockbuster to buy it

    I enjoyed them both tho I felt the long way round was better.

    Now this guy is a real legend.

    http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...?t=41699&pp=15

    Sold everything he owned to ride around the world solo and wrote a book about it as he went called "Two wheels through terror"

    He did some very serious hard yards on a tight budget.

    It's a long thread but is an awesome read.

    Just finished the LWD dvd. I enjoyed it but still think long way round was better.

    As has been said bringing Eve (?) was a mistake IMHO. The whole feel changed when she rocked up. Some of the riding was fairly advanced and how could someone who just passed their test cope with that? Good on her for getting up after dropping the bike so many times! When she left the feel of it changed again.

    yeah your right, i enjoyed the LWR better. LWD felt rushed, the 1st 1/2 of the trip was like a race! too many deadlines.

    Cheers Crazybigal, I got my copy yesterday and watched the frist two parts last night. Much more entertaining than the crap on TV.

    I got LWD for x-mas from family in UK. LWR was better. More challenging. This time they almost seemed over prepared. Also they were far too rushed.

    Ewan does nothing but bitch about the sand and gravel roads.

    Over all it's worth a watch, and as you say, it's certainly better than the crap on TV.
