Speakers from the Edge presents Ash Dykes, Breaking Mongolia: The Lonely Snow Leopard on 11th March 2015
In summer 2014, Ash Dykes walked across Mongolia, solo, and set a new world record in the process.
From the Altai Mountains, across the Gobi Desert to the Mongolian Steppe, Ash covered more than 1500 miles alone on foot, pulling a 120kg cart of provisions behind him. During this epic test of endurance and stamina, Ash battled sandstorms, heat exhaustion and dehydration and became known to the natives as ‘the lonely snow leopard’.
In Breaking Mongolia: The Lonely Snow Leopard Ash talks of the challenges he faced, and the determination he summoned, to achieve this feat, using complimentary audio-visual.
