In Long Way Home, Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman ride refurbished vintage motorcycles. These bikes are described as 'cranky old bikes' and are a central part of their adventure as they travel through Europe.

During their journey in Long Way Home, Ewan and Charley visit more than 15 European countries. They start in Scotland, travel across the North Sea to Scandinavia, up to the Arctic Circle, down to the Baltics, and through continental Europe before ending in England.

Along their journey, Ewan and Charley immerse themselves in local cultures, meet the locals, and participate in unique and eclectic activities. These experiences allow them to connect with the people and landscapes they encounter.

The trip in Long Way Home takes approximately two months. Ewan and Charley embark on a circuitous route that allows them to explore a wide range of European landscapes and cultures.

The route Ewan and Charley take is significant because it allows them to explore some of the greatest driving roads in the world. They deliberately choose a longer route to experience the scenic beauty and cultural richness of Europe, rather than taking the shortest path from Scotland to England.
