Charmingly unsophisticated

| Long Way Round got me into adventure riding for awhile. The rest of the series are fun to watch (as Ewan and Charlie are clearly good buddies) and the locations are always cool (that ship they took to get past the Darian Gap!!) but they can be really preachy. And the production crew kinda kills the spontaneity. That said, I'll watch this one as well.

Fighting the good fight

Yeah, they definitely ramped that up since the first series. Especially the third series, which is one of the factors that makes it my least favorite. I watched the two new episodes today, and there's just a hint of that so far, mentioning wanting to travel to Svalbard due to it "being on the front lines of climate change". But they're not beating you over the head with it... so far. |

Agree that the last trip was the weakest. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, though. |
