I’ve got a lot of friends in the paddock: Chris Vermeulen, Randy Mamola, Kenny Roberts – it’s a race we always try to get to. In November we flew to Valencia for the last Moto GP of the season. It was now the back end of 2007, and Russ and I were kicking around a few suggestions about what we should do next. Russ Malkin was our expedition leader – he’s also a great friend and along with Ewan had been instrumental in getting not only Long Way Down off the ground but also our first trip, Long Way Round. In August 2007 Ewan and I had completed our ‘Long Way Down’ trip from John O’Groats to Cape Town. The following is an extract from ‘By Any Means’ by Charley Boorman: Charley was accompanied by his good friends Russ Malkin and cameraman Mungo. The journey included sailing the English Channel in a twelve foot dinghy, riding a helicopter up to Everest and taking a container ship from Dubai to Mumbai, to name just a couple of the 100 different modes of transportation used. The epic voyage started from Boorman’s childhood home in Wicklow Ireland and finished up in Sydney Australia. MCN has teamed up with By Any Means to bring you an exclusive extract of Charley Boorman’s new book, which chronicles his exploits in his latest round the world adventure.īy Any Means is the story of his latest journey, which saw Charley travelling over 20,000 miles through twenty five countries and three continents… by any means.
