In 2004, Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman fired up their engines for the inaugural Long Way. And with that first turn of the throttle, they set more than just their wheels in motion. Overnight, the landscape of motorcycle travel shifted. They sparked a global wanderlust, redefined the adventure genre, and gave BMW a cultural moment that still echoes across the industry. To this day, it remains an iconic series ingrained into motorcycle lore, and a benchmark for modern-day travel shows.
This weekend, we sat down to watch the first two episodes of their fourth and latest adventure, Long Way Home. Spanning 17 countries over two months, it’s shaping up to be another must-watch. Many of the places they visit – through the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and into the north – are already familiar favourites on the Magellan calendar.
In the opening episodes, they choose their bikes, chart their “way home”, and hit the road. There’s that same familiar chemistry, the pre-trip jitters, and the irresistible pull of the open road. It’s as evocative as ever.
Our Norway and Sweden tours, which chart a similar route, have been fully booked for the year. But thinking ahead, we’ve bent over backwards to secure a few more hotel rooms and motorcycles. We’re making these spaces available today for you!
