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.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or trips:
“How difficult the task to quench the fire and the pride of private ambition, and to sacrifice ourselves and all our hopes and expectations to the public weal! How few have souls capable of so noble an undertaking! How often are the laurels worn by those who have had no share in earning them! But there is a future recompense of reward, to which the upright man looks, and which he will most assuredly obtain, provided he perseveres unto the end.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“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.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
