We all know the LiveWires were put to the test during this long haul, but on the trip there was also two electric trucks the first of their kind. The series has a heavy focus on renewable and sustainable energy along with shining a light on some of the steps taken in preserving indigenous culture and protecting natural areas. The Long Way Up documents McGregor and Boorman’s trip from Ushuaia, Argentina, (southern tip of South America) to Los Angeles, U.S.A., from September to December 2019. Although to be candid, I haven’t gotten through all the episodes yet it seems I can’t consider binge watching the series as part of my job. We got a sneak peak of the series and we thought it would only be appropriate to fill you in on what you can expect without giving much away.

There’s no doubt there was excitement around the world as it was announced that we would be seeing another trip documented with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, the excitement and anticipation built further when it was leaked that they would be attempting the 20,900 km (13,000 mile) trip over 100 days on the electric Harley-Davidson LiveWire. A brief review of what viewers can expect from the third installation in the Long Way series with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.
