Discover how a young man from Wales transformed himself into one of the world’s most exciting young adventurers.
‘Epic adventures by an inspiring man’ – Bear Grylls.
At the age of 23, Ash Dykes became the first person to walk, solo and unsupported, across Mongolia. He trekked over the Altai Mountains, the Gobi Desert and the Mongolian Steppe in an expedition filled with danger – he almost didn’t make it. He then traversed the length of Madagascar via its eight highest peaks and through the civil unrest that was brewing. In Mission: Possible, Ash reveals the spirit, planning, and sheer determination that went into these two record-breaking feats. Along the way, we discover how a young man from Wales transformed himself into one of the world’s most exciting young adventurers.
