Long Way Home (2025) s01e07 Episode Script

1
[theme song playing]
[Ewan] Across 20 years,
and three incredible adventures,
we've traveled to some of
the farthest flung corners of the world.
This is us on the road, Charley.
This is us on the way, man.
Yet we've never properly explored
the countries on our own doorstep.
- Okay, here we go. Into Europe.
- [Charley] Let's do it.
So, we're spending
the summer riding a spectacular loop
through 17 of our closest neighbors.
[Ewan] Starting at my house in Scotland,
we'll cross over to the continent,
travel up through the Nordics
and into the Arctic Circle,
down to the Baltics before winding our way
through the Alps and across France,
returning home about two months later.
[Charley] And we're gonna throw
caution to the wind
by doing the journey
on temperamental 50-year-old bikes
that have been given a new lease of life.
[Ewan] My bike's making a funny noise.
[bike clangs]
[Russ] Riding alongside them
on a third motorcycle
are cameramen Claudio and Max.
And the guys will also be taking
personal diary cameras.
[David] Russ and I will be following
with a small crew and two electric trucks.
Only meeting up
with the guys when necessary.
[cheering]
[Ewan] So, this summer,
Europe is our playground.
- Wow!
- [blowing]
[Ewan] And we're gonna follow our noses
and see what we find on the open road.
[Charley] Good morning. Good morning.
The recorders are on.
Have a lovely day.
So it's supposed to
be a horribly rainy day today
but maybe maybe it'll change
and we'll have a lovely dry day.
And a bit of camping, which'll be nice.
So very excited, you know.
[Ewan] It's five weeks
since we left my house in Scotland
and we're now in Finland.
We're riding south to Helsinki.
And from there we'll head to Estonia,
our first Baltic country.
Finland is the size of Germany,
but with only 7% of its population.
So most of it is breathtaking wilderness.
[Charley groans] I don't like
the look of those clouds.
[Ewan] I'm gonna stay positive,
and we'll see what happens.
[laughing]
[Charley] Bloody Nora. What a day.
- It's just a it's just a little drizzle.
- [Charley grunts]
[Ewan] It's just a passing shower.
[Charley] Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.
[Ewan] Already my legs are wet inside.
[laughs]
But it is July.
We're all going on a summer holiday ♪
No more [mumbles] week or two ♪
I'm just sitting on a big puddle of water.
So I have to get a plastic bag
'cause otherwise my arse
is just absolutely sodden wet.
[Ewan] Okey dokey, here we go.
[Charley sighs] Let's look for
a coffee, and warm up.
[Ewan] All right. Let's do it.
[Charley] Should we pop in here
and see what's there?
[Ewan] This looks promising.
[Ewan] Stick our gloves on there
for an hour or two.
[Charley] What's that?
[Ewan] It looks like a million scarecrows.
[Charley] So it says here
it's called "The Silent People"
and it was made in 1988
by a Finnish artist called Reijo Kela.
[Ewan] It does look quite eerie and odd.
But looks kind of beautiful too.
[Charley] It says that there are
no interpretation of what it is.
It's up to you to decide
what your thoughts are.
What it provokes inside you.
[stammers] They're all facing you
and everyone's still and totally silent.
So it's quite, um, confronting in a way.
I don't know if it makes you think
of people that have passed
or maybe all the people
that have died in wars.
What a meaningless waste
of life, you know.
Their focus on you puts a sort
of pressure on you, I guess.
It's interesting.
It's simple but really powerful.
- [Charley] Brilliant.
- [Ewan] Yeah.
Wow.
It's quite something else, isn't it?
- [Charley] Great, isn't it?
- Yeah.
[Charley] Bloody impressive.
My hair is quite similar. Look.
[Ewan laughs]
I'm sort of blending in
with my hair. [laughs]
This is Pete. Hello, Pete.
Nice to meet you, Pete.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Look, his jacket's dry.
How can his jacket be dry?
[Ewan] Such a random, beautiful thing
to do in the middle of rural Finland.
It's very nice.
[Charley] That was just a wetfest.
Everything is hanging up to dry.
[sighs] It's just too wet.
Anyway, fingers crossed.
There's always tomorrow.
And, uh, with a bit of luck,
maybe no rain.
[Ewan] This is not raining.
This is what not raining looks like.
Ah, I love this road!
[Charley] Beautiful, isn't it?
[Ewan] I'd forgotten how much
I love riding a bike in this nice weather.
It's like, "Oh, yeah.
This is why we do it."
[Charley laughs]
This country is one of the most
forested countries I think I've ever seen.
[Ewan] I've heard that log rolling
is happening up here somewhere.
Let's go check it out.
[Charley] Okay, let's go.
Once you've left there,
it's the point of no return.
You're committed.
[Charley] Here he comes.
[spectators cheer]
That's impressive, isn't it?
- That is very, very good.
- Come on.
He just bulleted through, didn't he?
That's amazing.
- [Charley] Very impressive.
- [Ewan] Well done.
Let's get changed, 'cause I think
we can have a go at this ourselves.
Are you sure it's this way?
- Two men, alone in the wilderness.
- Duh.
Where do we go?
- [laughs, mumbles]
- [laughing]
- Bill and Ben. Two men.
- Two men, alone in adventure.
- Somebody!
- [laughs]
[Charley] Oh, look at that.
It's a dying art and sport.
[Ewan] Do we have to do that together?
Oh, my God. So one on each side.
Look at that.
This is called the,
uh, lumberjack's christening.
When there was a new lumberjack
who would come and join the logging team
then they would have to
go through the process
of standing on a log and log rolling
and try and get the other one off.
There's competitions.
So these guys are practicing. [laughs]
- [groans]
- [laughing]
I'll tell you what's not happening.
That lying down thing.
- No. I think if we can
- I'm not lying down
while you walk over my back.
- [groaning]
- [exclaims]
- [Charley laughs]
- [groans]
- [Ewan] Come on then.
- [Charley] We got this.
If I take the shot here
and then we're done.
Yeah, we'll pretend here.
[Charley] Bet it's nice and cold.
- [log roller 1] Fresh.
- Fresh.
- [laughs]
- [log roller 1] Bracing.
Thank you very much.
- [Charley] Is it our turn now?
- I'm very tired.
- I can imagine you're very tired.
- Yeah.
Well done. That's not even wet.
- [blows]
- [Ewan laughs]
[log roller 2] Take the stick.
- [groans]
- [log roller 2] Now, it is very good.
[Charley grunting]
Okay. [groans]
[log roller 2] Okay, take the stick.
- One's going. [exclaiming]
- [log roller 2 exclaiming]
- [laughs]
- [blows]
- Spongy down there.
- Spongy down there.
- My feet go like [blows raspberry]
- [groans]
[Ewan groaning]
And you can go like this.
- This. Sitting here and little bit here.
- Yes.
- On top? Like this?
- Yes. That way. Very good.
And now standing. Be very fast.
- Wait, wait.
- On the surface?
- Very fast.
- Wait, wait.
- Wait.
- Good.
Now very fast.
- [groans]
- [exclaims]
- So you just use it
- Very fast. Yes.
Use it against the water?
- Whoa!
- [exclaims]
[log roller 1 exclaims]
[groans, blows]
- [laughs] Oh. Fun, hey?
- Oh!
- [laughs]
- That was
- Go for a go for a spin on it.
- I was so lucky.
- [Ewan] Do it on your own and then I'll
- [log roller 2 exclaims]
- [Ewan laughs]
- [groans]
[Ewan] It's so much harder
when he's not holding it.
I know. It's almost impossible
when he's not holding it.
Well, I think we did very well, Charley.
Best man here!
- Thank you.
- Welcome to Finland!
Thank you. I'm Finnish now.
- I'm a Finnish person.
- Best man.
Thank you very much.
[Ewan] From Ruunaa,
we're riding 230 miles south,
close to the Russian border
to Finland's Lakelands.
[Ewan] Let's stop over here, shall we?
[Charley] Right, let's do it.
[Ewan] Shall we have a look
at this guy's bike?
- [Charley] Wow.
- Look at that.
- Isn't that beautiful?
- Beautiful.
[Ewan] It's a nice rig, man. Beautiful.
- [owner] Thank you.
- Very nice.
Hello, lovely.
[Charley] Oh, look at that.
[Ewan] Reminds me of Sid.
[Ewan] Look at me. Sid. Whoo-hoo!
Hey!
[in accent] Very nice.
[laughs] I've made a new friend.
So nice, man. JAWA.
It's from Czechoslovakia?
- [owner] Yeah. '69.
- Yeah.
[Ewan] Oh, yeah,
from the old Eastern bloc.
- Yeah.
- So cool.
[Charley] We're really close
to the Russian border here, right?
[owner] Yeah. Very close.
[Ewan] He's gonna take us
to look at the border.
It's quite an eerie feeling.
"No entry without a special permit."
That forest is Russia.
- Oh, the forest is Russia?
- Yeah.
[Charley] Wow.
- Yep.
- Holy moly.
[owner] Mm-hmm.
[Ewan] I'm sure the people here
are sort of
The tension is much higher
than it was three years ago, you know?
[Charley] Must be difficult.
Well, it's very close, Charley.
All right, man. Let's get out of here
before the border patrols arrive.
[Ewan] This country has
a staggering 188,000 lakes.
And we're gonna head into the middle
of one of them to this little island.
See if it'll be a nice place to camp.
[gasps] Look at your boat. It's beautiful.
- Oh, wow.
- [Ewan] Wow.
So you are now in Puumala.
We have 2,000 inhabitants
and 1,000 islands.
- 2,000 inhabitants and 1,000 islands?
- 1,000 islands.
Oh, my God. It's so picturesque here.
Look at that.
That is beautiful, isn't it?
[Charley] Beautiful.
Step into my office.
Wow, look at that.
So this is like the heart
of Lake Saimaa. There's a huge labyrinth.
- It's just amazing.
- You can spend your life discovering it.
- Never discovering it.
- And still never know them all.
I love this map. I always come here
to plan a quick adventure.
[Ewan] What do you recommend?
[Sanna] I think it's quite late.
So, now we are here.
You could go here, visit this island.
- [Charley] Okay. Okay.
- It's about four kilometers.
And it's a very nice area.
We can take you there by boat.
[Charley] Yeah, yeah.
This is our island camp
that we've been talking about for so long.
We're gonna go out in that beautiful boat.
[Charley] It's gonna be awesome.
[Ewan] And we have biscuits,
so I think everything's fine.
- Okay.
- Yeah, everything'll be absolutely fine.
- Nothing can go wrong.
- [Charley] Nothing can go wrong.
All right. Oh.
[Ewan] How old is the boat, sir?
[captain] Forty years.
- [Ewan] Is it?
- Yeah.
[Charley] Forty years old?
[Ewan] Wow, how beautiful.
I can't believe that
on this lake there are thousand islands.
- [Ewan] Paradise. Plenty to roam.
- [Charley laughs]
[Ewan] God, it's so spectacular.
Oh, look, there's like a road.
Look, there's a path.
We have to go through a a path.
["I'm Not Hidden" playing]
[Ewan sighs]
[Martti] Most of the land
is privately owned here
[Ewan] Yeah.
but if you are traveling alone here
and you want to set up a tent
and camp in island,
you can do that freely.
Uh, we have Everyman's right,
and according to that right,
you can stay three nights
and then you have to collect your tent
and clear away and continue the journey.
Otherwise you'd be
people would be living here.
[Ewan] It's so beautiful.
Just peace and quiet. Tranquility.
- [Charley laughs]
- Lovely.
A man alone on his island.
Perfect.
Ah, sun.
[exhales]
[Ewan] Oh, oh.
I feel like we're coming in.
[Charley] Ooh.
[boat motor chugs]
[Charley] Okay.
[groans] Jesus.
Picked up the wrong bag. [panting]
How stunningly beautiful.
How cool is this?
[Charley grunts]
It's very magical with all the flowers out
and all the little paths everywhere.
Thank you, sir. Cheers.
Thank you very much. Lovely.
- I'll see you in the morning.
- [Ewan] This is gonna be awesome.
[Charley] Well, safe journey home.
[Ewan] Beautiful.
We'll leave it the way we found it.
It's gorgeous.
I'm gonna put my tent up, Charley.
And it's not raining, which is quite nice.
Obviously if you're trying this at home,
make sure it is raining.
And, uh
that you're surrounded
by the most enormous mosquitoes.
Then you know you're doing it properly.
- [Charley] Nice little spot.
- Yeah.
This was the dream.
- The dream. The dream.
- The island camping dream.
- Your own private little island
- Yeah.
in amongst thousand other islands.
And do you know what there aren't any?
- Mosquitoes.
- No mosquitoes, right?
[sighs]
Fabulous.
[insects buzzing]
[Charley] There are mosquitoes here.
[Ewan] There are a couple.
- Yeah.
- They've found us.
[Ewan] Well, this'll get rid of them.
Look at this beautiful white wood.
My goodness.
- [Charley] That's good, isn't it? Yeah.
- That's good, isn't it?
[Charley] Apparently these
are very Finnish. A dessert.
[Ewan] Bread cheese?
Cheese It's like, um
- It's like, um Halloumi.
- [Charley] Halloumi.
And basically you put 'em in here
and then you just stick them
on the fire for a little bit.
And then you pour cream and sugar.
And then you eat them with a bit of jam.
[Ewan] Damson jam?
[Charley] Damson jam. That's it.
So, that's all frying.
So then then a little bit of cream.
And a little bit of sugar.
I hope I'm doing this right.
Charley is an amazing cook.
- Mmm.
- All my life, since I've known you,
you have cooked delicious things
- I don't know.
- [Charley] Oh.
So you're a very delicious cook.
I mean, the food's very delicious.
And you're a good-looking cook.
[both laughing]
[Charley] Look at that.
That looks great, doesn't it?
- Is it Is it okay?
- [Ewan] Mmm.
It's very, very good.
Mmm, that's not bad, huh?
Actually that's really good.
You've done it beautifully of course.
Just relax and take it easy.
In the morning, we're gonna have a swim
there 'cause it's absolutely beautiful.
- Yeah. No, for sure. 100% gonna swim.
- That's just absolutely beautiful.
- Yeah. God.
- Yeah, I know. It's great.
Absolutely gorgeous.
And the fact that we can go
and explore the world,
can be very good for you.
Good for your spirit. Good for your soul.
We can look at any inch of it
on our laptop from a satellite image
but the actual going there
and being in that place
is always a unique experience
which stays with you forever.
Golden color
of the evening light is beautiful.
We're very lucky, aren't we?
What a great sleep.
Oh, it's so warm in here this morning.
[sighs] I always have trouble
opening the tent with one hand.
Good Lord. Okay.
Let's try again.
[sighs]
[bleep] it.
What an amazing sight.
What an amazing place.
I think if the whole trip
had been for one moment,
it would be to have spent the night here
last night 'cause it's so beautiful.
Good morning in this paradise.
Look where we are.
So well, woke up early as always.
I'm feeling a little tired.
And then I saw this this morning.
This is a huge, huge body of water.
And it's this incredible sort of
archipelago of animals,
and wildlife,
and otters even they're here.
And if you just listen Hang on
It's so quiet here. So beautifully quiet.
When we were sleeping last night,
there was no noise.
It was just, uh, just us and nature.
[ukulele playing]
[chuckling] Oh, my God.
I didn't know you were there. Hello.
- [Charley] Good day, mate.
- Good day, mate. How's it going?
Spiderwebs everywhere.
All right, Charley,
you ready for the plunge?
- It's so warm and dry in there.
- [Charley] Yeah.
I couldn't believe when I woke up
just quite how warm it was.
- Here we go.
- Yeah, it's gonna be a walk in, isn't it?
- Yep.
- Yep. [groans]
Be really careful.
Okay.
Oh, I wish we could jump.
- This is quite chilly manilly.
- Mm-hmm.
[Ewan groans, sighs]
- [sputters] Ooh, it's not that bad.
- [shudders] Oh, it's great.
- It's not that bad. It's good.
- No.
[shudders] It's good.
- Look at this.
- [exhales sharply] Wow.
Whoo!
Oh, I love the color of the water.
It's so beautiful.
Lovely. Isn't that a beautiful color?
Once in a while, you get lucky
to end up in a place like this.
God, there's not
a single cloud in the sky.
- I don't think we've ever seen
- [laughs]
the sky like this, have we?
It's almost never not rained
in a single day.
[moans]
Absolutely beautiful. What a day.
Well, maybe it's a turning point,
you know?
Yeah. I hope so.
["See for Miles
(Bounder's Motif)" playing]
[Ewan] I'm so sad to be leaving
this gorgeous place.
But from Lake Saimaa,
we're riding 165 miles southwest
to reach Finland's capitol.
[Charley]
We're finally heading to Helsinki,
and then this has always been
our halfway point.
My wife Olivia is gonna be there.
It is gonna be so much fun.
So excited to see her. I'm so excited.
[Ewan] I'm gonna meet up
with my wife Mary and my son Laurie,
and have a little family pause
in the middle of this trip.
It's so lovely to be able
to do these adventures,
and it's so hard to be away from everyone.
I don't like being away from them at all.
[Charley] Helsinki, here we come!
[Ewan] After a wonderful reunion
with our families this afternoon,
we're now gonna cook
a special Finnish meal for them
with the help of
a famous local chef, Linnea Vihonen.
- Hello. How are you?
- [Charley] Oh, my gosh. Look at that.
[Linnea] Very good.
We have a super, hyper local menu.
Oh, brilliant.
Let's hope we don't screw it up.
So we're gonna make Jerusalem artichokes
with saffron aioli and pickled mushrooms,
and we're gonna make
wild herb sauce for this.
- And this fish is?
- [Linnea] Arctic char.
[Ewan] Arctic char. Brilliant.
And then, as a dessert,
wild herb ice cream.
Oh, wow. He's a better chef than I am,
so I'm on the dessert, okay?
Okay. I'll go on this side.
So I think you could start
with the wild herb sauce with sorrel.
- Mm-hmm.
- There's some fresh dill.
- [Charley] Yep.
- [Linnea] We are, like, so close
to the sea and forest,
so we have a lot of wild herb.
- Okay, and Ewan, how are you doing?
- Very good.
Everything's going perfectly
according to plan.
- I didn't just drop this in the milk.
- [Charley, Linnea laugh]
[Linnea] And then
I will bring you some almonds.
Oh, my God, you look such a pro.
- I played a chef in a movie.
- Yeah?
- So I know how to look like one.
- Oh, true.
[both laughing]
What you doing? What's that one?
This is the-the green sauce for the beans.
- Oh, nice.
- So, the sorrel and
Ooh, ooh, ooh! It's coming up!
- [Linnea, Charley laugh]
- [Ewan] Okay.
[Linnea] Now we are gonna
add some bread to the dessert.
This is, like, very classic Finnish bread.
It's made with malt.
Oh, that's really crispy now.
Oh, it's like heaven.
Charley, my ice cream looks amazing, bro.
- [Charley] Oh, amazing. Yeah.
- Do you see the light green of it all?
[Charley] Oh,
that smells wonderful, doesn't it?
[Linnea] So in Finland
we use a lot of dill.
So classic taste combination
is dill and potato.
I mean, I never thought
to put them into the water.
You would sprinkle dill
on top when you serve,
- but I never thought to do it this way.
- Yeah. Yeah.
[Ewan] I'll never boil my potatoes
without dill from now on.
[Linnea] We like sour here.
Fermenting, pickling.
- It's, like, very natural in our cooking.
- Okay.
So, instead of the wine,
you can put very sour apple juice.
Exactly!
[Ewan] The ladies
should be arriving any minute.
It's been four or five weeks
we've been on the road.
That's a long time
not to see your loved ones.
Okay. Potatoes.
Oh, it looks good. Look.
Yeah.
[bleep] me, that's hot.
[groans] Oh, Christ.
I bit
It just sat on my gum there for a second.
- [chuckles]
- Potatoes are ready, chef!
Potatoes potatoes are 100% ready, chef.
We're both scolded
and we need to go to the hospital,
but the potatoes are ready.
- Oh hey, guys.
- Super. Hi.
- Hello.
- Welcome.
- [chuckles]
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Hi. [chuckles]
That's amazing.
[kissing, laughing]
[Ewan] You're in for a treat,
I think, ladies.
- I can't wait to try it.
- [Ewan] Yeah.
- [Olivia] What did you actually cook?
- [Charley] I made these.
Wow.
It's so pretty. This whole spread.
- To the table, please. Come on, guys.
- Well done, gentlemen.
[chattering, laughing]
- Oh, Mary, I made such a mess of yours.
- Aw, no. It's lovely.
[Ewan] So delicious what we did together.
[Linnea] So nice.
- [Charley] Are we ice creaming?
- [Ewan] Oh, yes.
Now, this ice cream was made
with a great deal of love. All I can say.
[Mary] Unbelievable. Love it.
[Mary] It's so cool.
That's just for Daddy from you.
Just for Daddy.
Do you wanna say bye-bye to the cow?
- Bye-bye, cow!
- You wanna go see him?
He just woke up. [chuckles]
[Ewan] Look, Laurie.
I don't want him to fall off
when you drive.
No, I've tied I've got him
He's cable-tied on.
He won't come off there.
[Charley] Ewan, how many, um,
bags do you fancy, Ewan?
[groans]
I'm back!
I don't know where he gets
any of this from.
When you're born when your mission
is to perform, you know, and entertain.
That's it. We're ready to go.
We're off now, but, um,
everyone is saying goodbye.
It's always quite difficult.
[Mary] Go have a nice time in all the
- [Ewan] We will.
- [kisses] crazy places.
I'll send all the stories
back to you. [kisses]
Olly left really early this morning.
But part of me is
kind of thinking it's a nicer way.
'Cause otherwise, you're just
prolonging the whole thing.
And [stammers] it's hard to say goodbye.
- Was this for me?
- Yes.
- Do I take it?
- I made it. Yes.
I love you, baba.
Bye, baba!
Okay.
[Charley] Okay, goodbye, everyone.
[Ewan] Well, here we are,
just leaving Helsinki
after our really lovely, um,
break with my beautiful wife Mary
and my son Laurie.
[motorcycle engine backfires]
Oh, hello.
Well, Ewan's bike
just backfired there a little bit.
- Uh-oh.
- Uh-oh.
- What is that?
- Oh.
That doesn't sound good.
No, there's a little bit of
popping going on.
Which is a little bit of a worry.
- Maybe it's just a one-off.
- Just a warm-up thing.
Yeah.
[Charley] Oh, maybe
it just needs a good blast.
[Ewan] Well, it's not gonna
get one now. [chuckles]
[Charley] No. This is the ferry port here.
[Ewan] Oh, Lord.
[sighs] It's just not
the feeling you want.
Where you're like,
"Yay, everything's great"
[imitates engine backfire]
We are heading to Tallinn, in Estonia,
and we're on a boat with a load of bikers.
Look how many bikers there are.
So, we're leaving
the Nordic countries now. That's it.
Now we're on chapter two,
which is Eastern Europe.
Eastern Europe. So, we're going
to, uh, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
and then some other places.
[Ewan] This ferry takes us across
the Gulf of Finland to Tallinn,
the capitol of Estonia.
The northern most of
the three Baltic states.
Along with Latvia and Lithuania,
Estonia was under occupation
by the Soviet Union for over 50 years,
contributing to
its unique cultural identity.
- [Charley] Are you good there, Ewan?
- [Ewan] I'm behind the car behind you.
Okay, perfect.
Let's do it.
All right.
[Ewan] Oh, wow, what's that? Look.
It looks like a massive swing.
- Should we go and check it out?
- Let's go and have a look.
["Where did the Fun Go" playing]
[Ewan gasps] Jesus, he's gonna swing
Whoa!
[Charley] Holy moly.
He's doing it in not so much
- not as much effort once you're going.
- [Ewan] So much energy once you're going.
- Wow.
- Once you've got Oh!
- Oh, he's got a lot of control.
- Yeah.
Oh, he's spotting. Do you need
to keep your eyes on one place or
[trainer] He has hair in his eyes so
at the moment [chuckles]
[all laugh]
[Charley] Is this something unique
to this part of the world or
If you want to do this thing,
you have to come to Estonia.
- [both] Estonia.
- Yes.
[all laugh]
- [Ewan] Does it make you dizzy?
- [person on swing] Nope.
For me, no. For some people, yes.
I know. It makes me feel
a bit sick just watching.
- Are there competitions?
- Yes.
What's the world record height?
[trainer] 7 meters, 43 centimeters.
It's like, uh
- What, from the feet?
- Yeah, from the feet.
- The feet at the top to the ground?
- It's like 15, 16 meters upside down.
- Yes.
- How do you do it? Are you attached?
- Yeah, feet and hands both are attached.
- Okay.
And that's why we tell it,
it's one of the safest sports
in the world.
- [laugh]
- [chuckles] Sure.
So if one of us were to have a go on it,
would we try on this swing?
- Yes.
- Do you wanna go?
I'll give it a go.
I have every confidence
that he'll master this
Always hands in front of you.
seamlessly.
I'm sure he's got the natural ability.
- Let's see.
- Okay.
- Momentum stops again, you squat again.
- Yeah. Yep.
- That's not a squat.
- Okay.
- As deep as you can go.
- Okay.
- And you come up in here.
- Come up here.
[Ewan] Good luck, Charley.
Give it everything you've got.
- We start from the squat.
- Okay.
- Try to listen. I will say, "Squat up."
- Okay.
Up. Squat. Up. Squat. Up. Squat.
- Up. Squat. Up. Squat.
- [panting]
- Up. Squat. Up. Squat.
- [groans]
Try to go with a deeper squat.
- [blows raspberry] Hang on.
- Squat. Up.
- You okay?
- Um, no, I think I'll stop actually.
[chuckles] Okay.
Makes me feel sick.
- [Ewan] Oh, no.
- Oh, no.
- [trainer] Are you seasick?
- Yep.
[trainer] Just stand up straight.
[Charley exhales deeply]
Ooh, I didn't like that at all.
[all laugh]
That's definitely not my bag.
You gave it a go, Charley.
- [Charley] You gonna have a go, Ewan?
- I don't think so.
I think you've
demonstrated it beautifully.
- It made you feel really queasy?
- It made me Yeah.
Well, this is your bag, man.
You make it look good.
Anyway, but thank you, guys.
- Thank you so much, guys.
- Thank you very much.
Brilliant. I'm glad you were able to
show us this specifically Estonian sport.
Thanks for not saying,
"What a pathetic attempt."
- Thank you.
- [chuckles] No worries.
- We see it quite a lot.
- Cheers, guys.
- Yeah, don't worry.
- All right.
[Charley] It's funny the things people
get up to, isn't it, in the world?
They, um
People seemed to, sort of,
find all sorts of things to do.
There's something for everybody.
- [motorcycle engine backfires]
- [Ewan] Oh, Jesus.
My bike's in trouble here.
Aw, that's not good.
We best stay on here
until we find something.
I could feel it, like, at 60,
I could feel it, like, hesitate.
[imitates engine]
- That hesitation.
- Yeah.
- [engine backfires]
- Oh, Jesus.
Oh, there's a puff of smoke again.
Yes, it's, uh, dying.
Turn straight into the car park just here.
[engine backfires]
Okay, so, what does it feel like? It's
It's hesitating,
so it could be spark again.
Is that plug on properly?
This one came off very easily.
- Well, this one is hot.
- [Ewan] Yeah.
[Charley] I can't get this one off.
That this came off quite easily
just now, so maybe it was that.
[engine starts]
Yeah, we're all good now.
- [Charley] Better and better.
- I'm getting to know it. Yeah.
- That's it. We'll be on the road now.
- Beautiful.
- All good?
- All good. All good.
[engine backfires]
Oh, it's still doing it, guys.
- Oh, no, what?
- Yeah, it's still doing it.
[Charley] Oh, what?
Oh, damn.
[Ewan] Yeah, it's still doing
that hesitation thing. Yeah, look.
- [engine backfires]
- [groans]
[Ewan] Should I just push it off the road?
Let me push it off the road.
Damn, that bloody thing.
This bike is my everything.
The only way for me
to get through this trip
is on this motorbike.
Potentially, it's the end of the line
with you and the bike.
We've just broken down.
They say you're a magician
and I think that's what we need.
Did you feel it sway?
Oh, my God. It really did sway, didn't it?
How are you? Nice to meet you.
Oh, that's your husband?
She's a legend, isn't she, here?
Don't worry. Be happy.
- [Ewan yelling] Whoa!
- Oh, my God! [yells]
[Charley] I've never seen
anything like this.
