The Long Way Up - filming 2009

[Tank]

Its nothing more than self promoting dross.
Oh the torture they must endure, all that way with only
3 fully loaded backup trucks, a fixer for every country entered, a guide for each country, a doctor, a mechanic, a couple of cameramen, a sound guy, a couple of armed security guards and enough spares to build a complete bike following just out of shot. Its all bollox.
If you want to follow REAL adventure riders doing it for themselves and not for self promotion under the thin veil of charity work heres a coiple of links.

People seem to be getting confused. You guys know Its just a TV show - right?

FFS - its nothing to get all huffy about or to 'diss'.

The fact that they get to do it and make ton's of $$$$ for what is in effect their job - makes them smarter than us.

OH - and if you listen to what they say - they never said it was about making money for Unicef .... They used the opportunity to raise awareness for their work - totally different.
