@extraordinarylifestories: “It’s the heart of darkness.” That’s how extreme adventurer Ash Dykes describes the Congo Basin. So of course it’s his next challenge! For someone who has walked 1,500 miles solo and unsupported across Mongolia, traversed 1,600 miles through Madagascar and became the first person to walk the entire 4,000-mile length of the Yangtze River, that tells you something. Ash is heading into the Congo Basin for a 700km+ expedition through one of the most remote environments on Earth. Extreme heat. Disease. Wildlife. Isolation. Days from proper medical help. A monumental challenge in a very dangerous place. It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with @ash_dykes for @extraordinary.life.stories #podcast I know I’ll be following his upcoming expedition with real interest. Full conversation goes live 8pm Thursday. Brought to you in partnership with IFS #congo #adventure
