Dear Friends<\/p>\n

After spending much of this year as a secluding writing hermit, I am delighted to share news with you that my Walking Home From Mongolia<\/em> book is now finished.<\/p>\n

It tells the story of my and Leon’s trials and tribulations as we walked 3,000 miles, from the Gobi Desert to Hong Kong. Our route took us along the Great Wall, past the frozen Yellow River, and through the toxic insides of China\u2019s longest road tunnel. We encountered -30C blizzards, interrogations by the Chinese police, as well as the exuberant hospitality of desert nomads, cave dwellers and villagers.<\/p>\n

The TV series has also been premiered on Nat Geo Adventure Channel in Australia and Asia. This November and December, I am delighted to invite you to the book and DVD launch.
\nLONDON<\/strong> \u2013 Tue Nov 19, from 6.30pm, The Yager Bar. Confirm your place here<\/a><\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

OXFORD<\/strong> \u2013 Fri Nov 22, from 6.30pm, The Mitre. Confirm your place here<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

HONG KONG<\/strong> \u2013 Mon Dec 2, from 6.30pm, Grappa\u2019s Cellar, Jardine House Confirm your place here<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do invite your friends, and as a shameless plug, don\u2019t forget that DVDs and signed books make wonderful Christmas presents!<\/p>\n

I hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
