The Rogue Monkey Podcast - A podcast by Kevin Pickard

For our 65th episode, we are speaking to Charley Boorman. Motorbike enthusiast, actor, presenter and charity supporter. Now you often hear the phrase, I’d love to see more of the world. Well Charley and his friend Ewan McGregor took that quite literally and drove round from London to New York…the long way. Then a few years later from John O Groats to Cape Town and then most recently from the southern tip of South America to LA. Those three trips totalled 47,000 miles of travel on a motorbike and combined with some of Charley’s other activities, means he has seen more of the world than most of us can ever imagine. In today’s discussion we start all the way back in Charley’s Irish roots and some of his early experiences….and track his whole journey right up to today. We also explore the horrifying crash he had a few years ago that almost led to him losing a leg.... check out this clip here before his Long Way Up adventure had even begun....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ia2WhYhrC8 Be sure to follow Charley on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. https://twitter.com/charleyboorman https://www.instagram.com/charleyboorman/ https://www.facebook.com/CharleyBoormanPage/ You can also head over to his website to find links to his books as well as some other super cool stuff. https://www.charleyboorman.com/ You can connect with the Rogue Monkey Podcast across twelve different channels: https://linktr.ee/roguemonkeypod If you are a business looking to find new levels of performance, you can find out more about the collaborative venture between our host Kevin and Richard Cheetham MBE here: https://www.twenty17.co.uk/
