I’m delighted to announce that the website for my new expedition Walking Home From Mongolia has now been launched. Please do check it out for regular blog updates, photos and videos!
Less than 3 months from now, I will be embarking on a 3,500km winter expedition through the heart of China. A fellow adventurer and an expedition cameraman, Leon McCarron, will be joining me for the whole journey.
Carrying all of our gear, including portable kayaks in our backpacks, we will start amidst the wastelands of Outer Mongolia from where we will head south by foot through the Gobi Desert. Crossing into China, we will follow the Great Wall down to the turbulent waters of the Yellow River, where we will then inflate the kayaks in order to paddle downstream to the legendary city of Xi An. Leaving the water, we will then hike onwards through the snow-capped mountains of central China, until finally we reach our finishing point at the glittering skyscrapers of Hong Kong!
The expedition has been commissioned to become a television series by National Geographic, and it will also act as a sequel to my televised three-year Cycling Home From Siberia expedition.
Over the next weeks we will be regularly updating you with our preparation for the expedition (which will no doubt be grueling with the winter conditions!), so stay tuned.
