Charley Boorman news
 

Apparentley he wants to do the Dakar in 2009.

...and the long way up is being talked about. The Americas.

I've just done a domain search for longwayup.com thinking I could make some money(!!) and some cheeky, cyber squatting scroate has beaten me to it.

Re: Charley Boorman news
 

they have been talking about the long way up for a while so obviously someone was bound to have beaten you too it ;)

Re: Charley Boorman news
 

ohh great more bitching and moaning from those 2 , i think ill give that a miss, are they then going to milk it and do the long way diagonally. If its anything like the long way down it will be toss.

Re: Charley Boorman news
 

you know i only half agree with you.. if i had an opportunity to do something so fantastic and the only way to be able to do it was to have a film crew and everyone else sort it out for me and have a fantastic team behind me then i wouldnt say no ;)

Re: Charley Boorman news
 

So would i ,but i bet neither you nor me would whinge like them and actually get on and enjoy it. be apriciative of the opertunity.

There are loads of guys and girls who've got on their motorbikes and trekked off around the world, usually with little or no money. You could start by reading up on Dan Walsh before you move to a real hero, Ted Simon.

Boorman and MacGregor have a shed load of dosh (just get the pictures of their workshop!!), an army of back-up including BMW, but still expect us all pat them on the back.

Get real! Just publicity fags!

Yep, he had a bloody good stab for a first timer, but got injuried out. But with style... Can't say I'm a fan but I really expected the dakar attempt to be a joke, it turned out very different IMO.
