AUSTRALIAN ROAD RIDER | 33

CHARLEY BOORMAN

“The pictures mean a lot to me as I went from painter,

decorator and jobbing actor to a career in motorbikes,

the love of my life”ve of my life

I think it’s lovely to have the memories, but you know, we have

to be careful not to dwell too much in the past or the future, but

live in the present, so enough of all our yesterdays ... now where’s

my atlas! ARR

When we arrived at the scene we thought, “Oh

my god, there’s someone in there”. When we

climbed up, the driver was sleeping — and not

overly impressed at being woken!

I really love this shot. We fi rst heard about this bridge through the Millennium Rider, Simon

Milward. This is a team that’s bonded — we’d been through a lot when this was taken

Celebrating our return to Bulwer Street — two mates, big trip, job done. We had no idea that

Long Way Round would take off the way it did. It was a slow burner, for sure

We were pretty full of ourselves when we got through the Road of Bones.

It runs from Yakutsk to Magadan

Now this was an engine! By this time

we were right into the trip and Ewan’s

Grizzly Adams beard was in full swing
