Long Way Home

I remember drooling in front of the TV as a kid while watching these two "very well working together" characters enjoying their adventures around the globe. Long way home brings me back in time and I think it's made for the old fans. I would like to see one series from Eastern europe or Asia. Charley Boorman had a series about Asia called " Freedom riders Asia". It was brilliant. I thought this Long way series will be a little bit boring because europe is a pretty safe playground but not long ago I started riding motorbike (because of these two) and I have to tell you, It is not so safe as I thought.

Would've given it a 10 because I'm a fan of all past seasons, and loved this one too, but I just finished it and feels like I only watched the trailer, where's the rest! 😩😩 So much time is wasted on the intro. Apple really screwed it with the lenght of the episodes, this is not a sitcom! It's the only travel show I like and they make it like it's a youtube video, have some respect for all the production thats goes into it, which was also so short this time! I loved seeing how they prepared for trips, but it's over now 😓. Thankfully, Ewan and Charlie are as fun as always and I'm glad the did it again.

I came home today after a rather shocking assault on a subway, I was so depressed. I have to say that this show completely healed my heart and restored my faith and people's love for each other. Too often we forget the best things in life, like Mother Nature and the laugh with an old friend. The best things in life are still the best things in life. Thank you for making the show and helping me heal after a hard day. There's still goodness and beauty in the world. May I also add, I'm so glad that there are some rich people who actually know how to spend all that money! Hope there's another season.

The long way series got me in to motorcycle touring and it will always make the first two series difficult to beat.

This season is a welcome return to more of what I wanted to see from long way up. Personally the electric bike thing just didn't work for me. With this trip being based in Europe you don't get the same sense of adventure but the chemistry between Ewan and Charlie more than makes up for it along with two very interesting classic bikes. Ewan's being more of a character in its own right. Perhaps they needed to name them in Itchy boots style.

The series felt a little rushed and overly cut with not quite enough focus on the actual riding. I'm sure there was a lot more spectacular roads than we got to see but it was still very enjoyable to watch, particularly with the unscripted interactions.

One thing that was nice to see was how much fitter and robust Charlie seemed. Long way up had us constantly fretting he would come off and have another serious injury.

I think people need to manage their expectations, the first series was over 20 years ago and doing what they have in this one is no mean feat. The big difference for me was this trip is more within people's reach, the other series were far more on the adventure / out of reach arena.

Ewan & Charlie both seem still grounded despite their massive success and fame and you do feel like you're watching friends you know.

Looking forward to the next one & seeing you at the live show 👍

It's very touristy, highly planified and not very adventurous and surprising, but people: it's Europe!! It is not so easy to find the middle of nowhere, remote locations, places where there is no network, petrol, food, electricity, people.

So, it cannot be like Africa or South America. Scandinavia, The Alps and the ex USSR countries have some rare dangers (bears, wolves and avalanches), but that's all.

Those who are disappointed were expecting too much.

They tried to make the trip more adventurous by using old bikes, unfortunately they are too reliable.

The best images until now in the Long Way series.
