Inspired by the nomads of Mongolia, whose ancestors created the largest empire in history, Australian adventurer Tim Cope sets out alone to ride by horse 10,000 km from Mongolia, across the great Eurasian steppe to Hungary.
With a perilous winter approaching, Australian adventurer Tim Cope must now cross Kazakhstan, travelling thousands of kilometres through rugged mountains, desolate steppe and desert to the Caspian Sea.
We'll have the synopsis for you soon.
Tim Cope's journey across the Eurasian steppe comes to an end on the banks of the Danube River in Hungary. There to meet him is his family, world media and ambassadors from Australia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
For young Australian adventurer Tim Cope, this was the journey of a lifetime - travelling 10,000 kms alone on horseback across the Eurasian steppe through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and Hungary. From the former Mongol capital Karakorum to the Danube, Tim retraced the path of the first nomads and followed the route taken by legendary Genghis Khan as he forged his great empire. Over three and a half gruelling years, and guided by an old Kazakh wisdom - "to understand the wolf, you must put on the skin of a wolf and look through its eyes" - Tim lived just as the ancient nomads did. The extreme challenges gave Tim empathy and insight into the nomadic way of life, and as a young man growing up, the journey became a personal rite of passage. At the end of his journey, Tim arrived on the Danube having achieved the first crossing of the steppe in modern times.
