Product Description
Collectors Edition Box Set contains Long Way Round, Race To Dakar & Long Way Down. 8 DVD set containing a massive 24 1/2 hours! Take three trips of a lifetime in the company of best friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, as they straddle their beloved motorbikes and cross unlikely terrain to reach some of the world's most far-flung corners. Powering through notoriously desolate countryside, they ride from London to New York via Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia and Canada In Long Way 'Round, and from the northernmost tip of Scotland descending through Western Europe and Africa to South Africa's southernmost point in Long Way Down. These DVD stories cover their adventures and misadventures while they soak up the most incredible natural and cultural wonders. In Race to Dakar, Boorman recounts his extraordinary experience as he tackles the toughest race on earth - The Dakar Rally.

5 out of 5 stars Wow.....Another winning DvD   January 7, 2009
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I had already watched "The Long Way Round" a few years ago back in UK and was eager to watch "The Long Way Down" as I am originally from Scotland and this adventure was starting in Scotland and ending in South Africa. I had tried to get the DvD from UK before it became available here, but was un-successful. When it did become available, I immediately ordered it. I wasn't dissapointed. I didn't think it was as good as the previous adventure but sequels never seem to live up to the same level as the originals. All in all, I loved seeing the countries Charlie and Ewan visited and I think that it was a very well produced, entertaining video.

Now, "The Race to Dakar" was a superb DvD. From start to finish, it was a nail-biting adventure. The riders in the rally deserve medals for putting up with all the hardship associated with the race. I had heard of the race when it was the "Paris-Dakar" but never fully understood the endurance required to finish the event. This DvD graphically depicted every day. I would recomend this Box Set to everyone.....Some "colorful language" for younger audiences but you could always turn the sound down if you are easily offended!
