Mission Possible

Ash Dykes

The remarkable true story of a bold and fearless young adventurer

‘Kind of nuts but very courageous and really cool’ Joe Rogan

At the age of 23, Ash Dykes became the first person to walk, solo and unsupported, across the country of 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.

Two years 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.
