Story

Hello!

This August I will be joining a special horde of world class riders and adventurers in the inaugural Mongol Derby, (see http://mongolderby.theadventurists.com) a crotch-pounding 1000km race across the Mongolian steppe aboard a series of native, semi-wild and very tough horses.   It makes the Guiness Book of Records as the longest horse race ever staged, and early analysis suggests it will be among the toughest.

I will be navigating, foraging, finding water for me and the neddies, coping with extremes of heat and cold, fending off wolves, washing in rivers (If i can afford to make a pit stop...), and introducing the nomads who have herded up some 800 of their precious horses for our racing pleasure to my Wuthering Heights rendition after a round or two of fermented mare's milk.

Your money is going straight to Mercy Corps who are an outstanding charity, I am funding every cost out of my own pocket, and am delighted to be raising money for them once again.

Thanks and much love,

Katy
