It isn't a Travel program, it's a 'boys jolly' with an American that whips them to go faster & save time (maybe that's why the fire wasn't put out? David told them they wouldn't have time??)

As far as I can see they've spent 4 days in Kenya, 3 in Rwanda & maybe 2 in Tanzania

I hope to god that none of the tourist boards have paid them any money - I would prefer it if the LWD crew had paid the respective tourists boards.

They went to Lewa for gods sakes, it needs publicity & the place got a 2 second snip (some guy talking and his name & Lewa coming up on the screen)

This is more like an Annika's challenge except those two idiots don't have blond hair! In Japan honeymooners usually book to go to Europe for their trip, London, Paris & Rome in 6 days, we used to joke & call it a 'packing trip' as they must spend half their time packing and not seeing anything!!!

Imagine ??
 

If they do WrongWayUp, we could actually contact the Columbian Rebels and give then their route and what dates they will be where. Just to make sure that they got kidnapped, raped and beaten, Imagine the headlines in all the daily’s




Sorry that's the smallest font I could get to work here. :thumbup1:

I don't really care if they stay in a 5 star hotel every night and have someone to ride their bikes when the camera's are off, if they have made just 1 person think that maybe they could do something to help some of the projects in Africa then it's been worthwhile. (ok maybe more than one would be nice.)

Until last weekend I would have probably never thought of spending time in Rwanda or helping to support some projects there.

It's also good to have bikes on TV being shown in a relatively positive manner to counter balance the Clarkson anti biker crap that is spouted in top gear. I am old enough to remember "NO Bikers" signs on pub and restaurant doors. The attitude to motorcyclists in the UK is still 20 years behind that of the rest of europe hopefully programs like this will help to move it on a few years.

Now wheres that GS catalogue :-)

Like has been said there are positives and negatives to adventure travel by bike on telly... it would be quite watchable were it not for Charlie Boorman.. Lets all hope he crashes out on a wheelie... oh forgot his doctor is right behind...

I'd like to see the next ride with just Ewan and Eve. I thought she was brilliant. She's only just passed her test, then rides in quite difficult conditions while being filmed. Falls off several times, but just gets back on and carries on with the ride.

I don't think they edited out the tears and tantrums do you? LMAO

Thought the last one was going well until the end, what a fraggin let down, I think it will be Ewan and Eves next show did you hear the list of WrongWays she was commming out with? So it shows they are thinking about it.

Charlie is a complete looser and I think that this should be his last WrongWay, do you think if we took a vote on it the BBC would listen?

Also I would like to ask who the hell paid for ALL of their families to go meet them in South Africa and I don't mean Ewans Lovely Mum because Do you think she takes in COUCH SURFERS seeing as HER SON is now an ADVENTURE RIDER?

Hi Ewans Mum I've come to stay for the weekend.... LMAO

I love reading all the comments on this topic, It makes me feel good to be a skint dreamer. :mchappy: I was going to ride around NZ on a GO-PED back in 97 but I hadnt worked out the joys of traveling light back then and there was no room for my Snowboard so I had to hitch, I got some funny looks in Hawai as well.:cool4:

Are we happy now?
 

Now the series has finished and we have all had fun taking the piss over the last 6 weeks, are we happy that instead of Long way Down we now have anti biking Jeremy Clarkson and his 'Top gear' programme? :helpsmilie:

And as early as January 2006 they were already planning 'Long way Down' and also 'Long way Up'

Is there any chance we could have an amnesty on Boorman bashing? It depresses me that members of a community that for the most part prides itself on being fairly open and tolerant will happily slag someone off, mainly because they are jealous.

I could go on a rant about people that have no experience and are just starting their first bike trip and have never been in a desert on two wheels, let alone tried the Dakar mouthing off, but as my dear old mum said 'if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all'.

Pro looking website though Judd - I look forward to seeing how your trip pans out, especially as you must be much better on a bike than the much maligned mr B!!

Quite agree!
I am now heartily sick of the whole McG family show, and at least Boorman had the balls to do the bungy jump (and had a go at the PD race last January - can't see McG doing that) while the big film star couldn't face the idea of falling off the bridge.

I'm not jealous of Charlie I just hate the wheelie pulling fart lighting twat, I hate the way people are going to look at him and paint us all like that and I’m not jealous of his travels because I’m going where I want to go. Can you believe HE caused an accident from showing off Charlie NO NEVER... So your wrong on point 1

I've been in Deserts more times than I can think of, and in the Jungle and up Mountains and down in Caves Tunnels Mines, and on rivers because I'm a 38 year old ex Squaddie with lots of travelling and life experience under my belt sonny, is mummy still wiping your civilian a*se?

I can't wait to get into that desert and crash coz I'm balls nasty hard, grrrr I will lift my own bike up and get back on and ride some more until I fall off again like EVE Falling off and getting up and Falling off and getting up funny as hell but determined as hell.

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Experience[/FONT] is telling me take it easy don't set targets be flexible, when you see Chaz do any of that? Rush Rush Rush Moan Moan Moan I don’t do any of that, I admit I got depressed the other week but I guess that’s just road blues I’m over it and happy again.

And this is my Second bike trip did SE/Asia last time where I crashed and burned. So your wrong on Point 2




Pro looking website though Judd - I look forward to seeing how your trip pans out, especially as you must be much better on a bike than the much maligned mr B!! I’m Laughing at YOU because being a new rider, my riding’s improving vastly by the day (when was the last time you saw a marked improvement in yours?), I’ve covered over 12,000 miles thus far on the trip and I'm only just beginning (Approx. 1,000 off road 2,000 in rain 1,500 on mountain twisty’s) and to date loved every single one of them.

It isn't about being better then Charlie it's about getting the job done my way end of story, as long as I can do the job to my best and can look myself in the mirror and say ‘I did it my own way’, then I will be happy. If I crash out in flames and can look myself in the mirror and say ’f*ck it I did my best’ I'd be happy just like last time.

If I had a fleet of other people with me and won or lost I'd have to say ‘I've done f*ck all by myself’, that's the difference self actualisation I think is the term, thought you’d have known that after your solo trip but I guess different people take away different things from their life experiences.

Looking at your profile I see you’re in Africa in 2008, Hopefully we will cross paths as I’m over there from the end of this year for about 8 months. But don’t even think to school me on my riding until you are standing where I am and have rode the same dirt as that’s really f*cking bad manners sonny.
Just for the RECORD I have NEVER said anything bad about Charlie’s ability while riding the bike, in fact I look at his technique all the time as compared to Ewan his faster smoother and a lot more proficient and is good to watch. It’s the man behind the bike that I can’t stand, do you see the difference
so I make that 3 for 3 and your out. :clap:

I don't have a Yamaha, and would get fed up of reading about them, so I don't click on Yamaha topics.

:rofl: your the guy BMW are looking for to sit in their focus groups, I think I want to have your babies.

Well done Eve. Zero to hero in my opinion. Deep sand is difficult. I bet that was the first time she'd ever had the front wash out. After 7 days of that she'd be getting the hang of it. Lets hope she keeps riding when she and Ewan get home. We need to encourage more "girls" to do adventure riding I'm fed up of only meeting hairy bikers on my travels.:rofl:
