This epic adventure will take place upon an ancient path trodden by Crusaders, Mongols and Persians. It will take us across the European continent, traversing the historic gap between East and West, the Hellespont, a gap so small it defeated an empire.

As Alexander the Great did before us, we will explore the mysteries of the Turkish Far East and negotiate Iranian mountains and deserts. Through the white tipped mountains of Kazakhstan, following the silk road we will eventually reach a border that can only be crossed by the bravest and toughest of men and machine, for the great Gobi Desert lies on the other side.
