On February 16 2016, motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman suffered a major road traffic accident in Portugal. Having spent the better part of his life on some form of motorbike, his world came crashing down after he was knocked off a Triumph Tiger Explorer, smashing his right ankle & causing severe damage to his left fibia & tibia. It was unclear if he would ever walk properly again, let alone ride a motorbike. Moving between past & present, Long Way Back recounts Charley`s journey back of recovery, the ambulance ride, the numerous operations in a Portuguese hospital, the medivac aircraft flight back to London. In alternating chapters, as his inability to walk for several months provokes introspection, Boorman recounts his childhood, where his passion for motorbikes began, & the formative influences in his life
- from his father, a touring film director, to his long-time friend Ewan Mc Gregor, & Sean Connery`s son Jason, who first introduced him to bikes. As Charley struggles to cope with this potentially life-changing situation, it is these touchstones who will give him strength on the long way back to health.

Long Way Round was just that for these two intrepid bikers: From London to New York, Ewan & Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia & Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada & America. But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres of their big BMWs, their troubles started. Exhaustion, injury & accidents tested their strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather & turbulent politics challenged their stamina. They were chased by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with very large guns in the Ukraine, hassled by the police, & given bulls` testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads. & yet despite all these obstacles they managed to ride more than twenty thousand miles in four months, changing their lives forever in the process. As they travelled they documented their trip, taking photographs, & writing diaries by the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures
- a fascinating, frank & highly entertaining travel book about two friends riding round the world together &, against all the odds, realising their dream.
