A Decade of Living Dangerously


'Epic adventures by an inspiring man' Bear Grylls

The remarkable true story of a bold and fearless young adventurer.

At the age of 23, Ash Dykes became the first person to walk, solo and unsupported, across Mongolia. His journey took 78 days and saw him trek over the Atlai Mountains, the Gobi Desert and the Mongolian steppe. It was an expedition filled with danger and extreme conditions. He almost didn't make it.

A year later, Ash spent more than five months traversing the length of Madagascar via its eight highest peaks and through a country on the verge of civil war. It was another world first.

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 globe's most acclaimed and exciting young adventurers. It is an inspirational story.

Even before the real story starts, you can’t help but feel impressed with this guy. Typical young guy studying, lacking in money but who decides that his real place is outside in the world of adventure and exploring. He does everything he can to save up and travel and boy does he make sure that happens. Then the adventures start for real - and what a treat it is! Someone so young has such a zest for life and for travel but you know he’s going to be like this when he’s old and grey - it’s in his blood, you can tell. He tells his story with self deprecating humour, a nice easy style and draws you in like one of his mates. And what an adventure he has! Pretty fascinating that’s for sure!

This book really shines as Mongolia and Madagascar are not really places I've thought about visiting letting alone walking on my own. His reasons for going there and what he sees and discovers when there is a journey extraordinaire. Think he must be on Duracell batteries or something - my legs were aching from just reading about his walks. Totally worth it though!
