Adventurer Ash Dykes talks about his tough expedition in Mongolia

World record-breaker Ash Dykes, who has been nominated for Adventurer of the Year at this month’s National Adventurer Awards, will be talking about his expedition in Mongolia.

Ash climbed mountain peaks, was stalked by wild wolves and battered by sandstorms as he trekked solo over 1500miles in 78 days, pulling a 120kg cart of provisions.

Now 24, he survived one of the toughest expeditions, where temperatures exceeded 40degC, with no shelter.

His talk Breaking Mongolia will be aired at Sheffield Student Union on Monday, March 9, and at Buxton’s Pavilion Arts Centre on Friday, April 24.
