Hi
I have just finished this book and wondered whether anybody else has read it?
If not, you really should, its a great account of a bloke on a budget riding to Mongolia without any support whatsoever apart from a couple of telephone numbers to call if he gets into a pickle.
A real honest account of what you would expect from a journey of this kind.
By the way, buy direct from his website of the same name, as Amazon (who I bought from) charge a massive commission and the author gets bugger all.
Enjoy.
Ant.

"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.
You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.
And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....
....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.
Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;
Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

I met Graham at HU Mendip last year and didn't get around to reading the book till now. It's a great read, he has a good sense of humour and tells it like it is. Well recommended.
