Good video and a bit less up itself than LWR.

In summary they SUCK !!
End of rant.........

I had had the whole series recorded for me by the other half and got just a few minutes into the second one before I'd had enough! This article is is hard to disagree with in any respect:

Did anyone watch Mondo Enduro? Now that was good. 7 regular guys on XT350s with a camcorder. No support vehicles. Very entertaining and often scary.

Thinking of Long way Down, Enduro Euro Charity Day - Mike, Sarah, Flick and Mikey are going to ride 7631 miles around Europe for charity, the charities are UNICEF, Help the Aged and the RNLI. The route they are taking covers the Arctic Circle, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia and many more countries. - The real challenge is that none of the team has ever ridden a motorcycle!

Excellent article. Nice to see some healthy, uncorrupted cynicism and irony still left in the world.

Not going to criticise Ewan or Charlie for their all expenses paid trip to SA, but after watching the series on both TV and DVD [Xmas gift] I have to say it had to be the dullest motorcycle adventure i've never been on.
