Euro Trip
The Long Way adventure series finds best friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman hitting the open road on their motorbikes traveling great distances. Their trips have taken them through the Americas, through Africa, and even across the Pacific from Russia to Alaska.
The latest edition, Long Way Home, finds the pair taking the scenic rout between McGregor’s home in Scotland to Boorman’s in England. They’ll start off crossing the North Sea into Scandinavia, up to the Arctic Circle, back down into continental Europe via the Baltics, and finally through the English Channel. It’s tiring just thinking about the trip.
Long Way Home premiers Friday, May 9, on Apple TV+.
