Long Way Down gets plug on BBC Radio1

Ewan McGregor chats to Radio1 DJ Chris Moyles

EWAN MCGREGOR chatted to Radio1 DJ Chris Moyles this morning, plugging his latest adventure, The Long Way Down. Ewan and Charley will be heading from John O'Groats, Scotland to Cape Town in South Africa.

The trip will take 3 months and will see the riders and their support crew cross 20 countries in 3 months. Again, the pair will be riding on BMW Adventure bikes, this time, the R1200 GS Adventure.

Today's radio chat was with the team while they were stopping off in Florence. Their next country will be Tunisia, followed by Libya.

Moyles, Radio1's popular DJ, joked that he'll be taking on his own adventure, the Long Big Cake. Sounds about right! The duo are planning a Long Way Up trip for 2009.
