Episode six of "Long Way Down" has a great deal of footage of Eve falling off her bike, but she gamely got back on. She joined the gang 10,643 miles into their journey at Songwe, Malawi and travelled with them through both Malawi and Zambia. Charley won.Įve McGregor learned to ride a motorcycle especially so that she could join Ewan for part of this trip and had been riding for only about eight months when she arrived in Malawi. The race up Betty's Hill took place much later in the trip, just before they reached South Africa. Ewan got very close to an elephant but it smelled him and charged and trumpeted. The Okavango Delta is in Botswana and somewhere around day 73 of the trip the whole team flew up there and saw hippo, wildebeest, elephant and kudu. The Fair Trade Coffee plantation that they visited was in Uganda shortly after crossing the border at Tororo on day 50 of the trip. The "Long Way Down" was supposed to spend ten days in Kenya, but due to being behind schedule, raced through the country in only four days. The boys wanted to know what happened actually on the Equator and were shown that the water does not turn at all. At the Equator, Charley and Ewan looked on in wonder as a man called Jogo demonstrated how water drains clockwise in the northern hemisphere, but just a few feet away across the Equator and into the southern hemisphere the water drains anti-clockwise.
