In 2004 Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor rode around the world on two motorbikes. Their journey was
filmed and turned into a TV travel documentary called Long Way Round. A few years later the two friends set off
on their motorbikes again, this time riding from the northern most tip of Scotland to Cape Town in South Africa.
This trip was made into another documentary called Long Way Down.
Charley Boormans latest travel adventure sees him travel from Ireland to Sydney, Australia, trying to use as
many different forms of transport as possible, except flying. He begins the journey at his fathers house in Ireland.
From there he rides by motorbike up to Dublin. He crosses the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man on a fishing trawler.
England sees a variety of modes including driving a double-decker bus and sailing a small yacht across the
Channel to France. In all, he uses more than one hundred forms of transport including container ships, dugout
canoes, elephants, a solar car, wakeboarding and even a Yak! Accompanied by Russ Malkin and cameraman
Paul Mungo Mungeam, Charley travels through twenty-five countries and over 20,000 miles. The entire
experience was filmed and made into a documentary, Ireland to Sydney: by any means. So, what next for Charley
Boorman? Hes already done the Dakar Rally as well as his two trips with Ewan McGregor so whats left?!
