Yes, fortunately Charlie Boorman had Ewan for company on the "bike trip" books. The LWR and the LWD were good reads, as was the TV show.
Unfortunately, Charlie Boorman is exactly like the name says, "a right boring cunt!" sorry to be coarse.
So the third book, race to Dakar, was a bit shit really,(he lasted about a day and is a pussy by the sounds of things) also the "by any means" TV series was very sad too. He was trying to make a buck off the fact that he knew Ewan really.(my opinion only)
Stu.
