Future Trips
In the final pages of the Long Way Down book there is a mention of "Long Way To Go" but this is not the intended title for the third series, instead it is a reference to the continual effort and support UNICEF requires to continue their charitable work. In the DVD extras, while preparing the bikes for cargo, McGregor makes mention of a possible trip in South America, perhaps called "Long Way Up".
On the Late Show with David Letterman (17 February 2010), McGregor said he was not planning another trip at the moment, because he finds it difficult to stay away from his family for the long time it takes to do a trip. He also mentioned still wanting to do a trip from South to North America.
In a September 2010 interview, Boorman said that the third installment of the Long Way series is planned with McGregor for 2011, saying, "It should be crazy stuff riding up through South America. I'm expecting jungles, bandidos and drug lords...." As of September 2011, no further details have been released.

“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
