Book Description
The story of an epic road trip in an old van... David and Geoff were two BBC journalists who took voluntary redundancy as their mid-fifties approached. Deciding there had to be more to life than golf or gardening, they set off on an 8,000 mile drive for charity to the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar. Their trip takes them across Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Lying in wait are corrupt cops, bent border guards, mountain tracks and the Gobi desert - but there are also welcoming and curious locals keen to help the two men on their mission and keep them supplied with beer.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Clear, unpretentious writing... a pacy and clear narrative that gives you a taste of the reality of epic drives.

Humorous, descriptive, thought provoking and above all, enjoyable. Mission Mongolia comes highly recommeded.

The concept is enthralling. The fact that they battled corrupt border officials, dangerously eroded roads and the elements, is incredible.

Treanor neatly weaves in history, geography and ecology without letting the pace drop.
