Synopsis
This biography details motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman's recovery from a major road traffic accident in 2016. On February 16 2016, motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman suffered a major road traffic accident in Portugal. Having spent the better part of his life on some form of motorbike, his world came crashing down after he was knocked off a Triumph Tiger Explorer, smashing his right ankle and causing severe damage to his left fibia and tibia. It was unclear if he would ever walk properly again, let alone ride a motorbike. Moving between past and present, Long Way Back recounts Charley's journey back of recovery, the ambulance ride, the numerous operations in a Portuguese hospital, the medivac aircraft flight back to London. In alternating chapters, as his inability to walk for several months provokes introspection, Boorman recounts his childhood, where his passion for motorbikes began, and the formative influences in his life--from his father, a touring film director, to his long-time friend Ewan McGregor, and Sean Connery's son Jason, who first introduced him to bikes. As Charley struggles to cope with this potentially life-changing situation, it is these touchstones who will give him strength on the long way back to health.

    • If You Liked the Long Way Round series…

      After watching the third installment- Long Way Down- with Charley’s accident and injuries mentioned but not too much detail given by Ewan McGregor or other crew members, I wanted to learn more. This book comes from Charley’s perspective, highlighting the struggle, mental and physical turmoil and people who influenced Charley’s long recovery. I particularly appreciated reading about the mental and emotional impacts of being alone in a foreign country without mobility and trying to piece together what happened.
