Best friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman gear up for their fourth Long Way series—this time going from Ewan's home in Scotland to Charley's in England. They'll take the scenic route, of course, through 17 European countries on cranky old bikes.

Fresh off the ferry, the guys travel through the Netherlands and Germany to visit Charley's mom's hometown before heading to the Danish islands.
In a scary setback, Ewan's bike gives way from underneath him. A local Swedish biker club comes to the rescue. Then it's off to meet a mermaid.

Traveling to the Finnish lakes, Ewan and Charley camp on a breathtakingly beautiful island and give the lost art of logrolling a spin.
