Ewan McGregor riding high
20 Jun 2007
Ewan McGregor has embarked on another long-distance motorbike journey and the star is making good progress.
Travelling alongside him is best pal Charley Boorman and their epic adventure follows a previous 20,000-mile trip that the pair took a few years back.
The bikers began their latest trip in John O'Groats in May and they are due to pass through 20 countries in the next three months.
Currently, Ewan and Charley are in Egypt and, although they describe the country as 'beautiful' and 'moving', both are struggling with the heat.
Ewan has revealed that he will not be growing a beard as he did during the last journey due to the soaring temperatures and Charley added: 'This is the hottest place I've ever been in my life!'
The pair were speaking to Radio DJ Chris Moyles and the interview was broadcast on BBC Radio One.
The men revealed that their bikes have been positively put through their paces, particularly when driving through the sand, but both say that they are looking forward to completing their journey which ends in South Africa.
