Few days ago while I was surfing, I spotted a link about Long Way Down, which is a journey taken by two celebrities Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman to cross from Scotland to South Africa on their motorbikes, and going through various countries including Libya, I found it quite exciting and felt a sense of proud to see my own country been explored and shown on tv for different reasons this time, and that to be part of a good cause. The journey was to raise the awareness of UNICEF projects, which are in progress or to be started in some of the poor African countries, and to visit different charity schemes in this continent, anyone could contribute to these projects by visiting the website and donate some money.The BBC will be airing this journey in the autumn and I am already looking forward to it, I do like this type of programmes, they would allow me to explore the world from my own sitting room and see different world and that’s one of the reasons that I think BBC is a great network in making documentaries such as this. You could check their blog and the their experience in this fascinating adventure by visiting the Long Way Down page, I leave you with this clip where Ewan McGregor, one of the Star Wars leading men enjoying the glory of Leptis Magna.

Thats good news. I havent heard of it but good to know. Libya is a great place to explore. I'm sure it would be an amazing experience for the exploers. Keep us update it.
I read interviews with Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman few months ago where they gave details abouth their trip which would take a long time to finish but they never mentioned that Libya was included, I am glad it is.
I am really looking forward to it, you cant get better than the BBC, thank you.
