KEY POINTS:
Actor/adventurers Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman have hit the road again.
Following their widely publicised around-the-world motorcycle trip in 2004, the pair have now embarked on a two-wheeled odyssey through Europe and Africa.
The 24,000km journey on two BMW R 1200 GS Adventure motorcycles started at John O'Groats, Scotland, on May 12 and will finish at the most southern point of South Africa - Cape Agulhas.
"I can't imagine not ever thinking about some adventure," said McGregor.
"Long Way Round changed us all - it bonded us all together and made our dreams come true - and it's not often something like that happens.
Long Way Down is something you can not only daydream about, but actually do."
Long Way Down is being produced and directed by Russ Malkin of Big Earth and David Alexanian of Elixir Films, who have witnessed and documented McGregor and Boorman's previous Long Way Round and Race To Dakar adventures.
They will be supporting UNICEF, CHAS and Riders for Health on their travels and the www.longwaydown.com website will have trip updates.
