Ewan McGregor plans epic trip
16 January 2007

Scottish actor Ewan McGregor has revealed that he intends to begin another epic motorbike journey.

The star says that he and his pal Charley Boorman intend to ride from John O'Groats in Scotland, all the way to Cape Town in South Africa.

It comes just three years after McGregor and Boorman took their bikes from London to New York via Mongolia, Serbia and Alaska.

When the pair did the journey two years ago it was televised, though it is unclear if this latest adventure will be.

One thing that is for sure is that Ewan's wife, Eve, will be joining the boys for at least part of the journey.

'Being away from my wife and kids is hard but it's part of the work of being an actor anyway," McGregor said in an interview with the World Entertainment News Network.

'My wife is very supportive. She'll be coming out for part of the next trip. I have been married for 11 years and she has rarely even been on the back of a bike but she's training to ride and will do the middle three weeks with us,' he added.
