A Time of honar.
Hello.
Since i'm member of this forum for a very very long time, i would like to share my next goal in life with the members of this forum.
My dream from childhood on is crossing the 4 largest desert in the world.
This desert is called the Gobi Desert and is located in Mongolia and China.
The expedition start the 17th of may near the mountain:Eej Khairkhann Uul.
There i will make a attempt to cross the Gobi from west to east in 40 days alone(solo) as first human in the world.
More info can be obtained @ http://www.windwalker.be
The Story(journal) starts the 3th of may.

Re: A Time of honar.
What kind of life insurance do you have?
All I'm saying is I once tried to get up off of the sofa to change the channel (the remote batteries were dead) and bam! Week later I'm taking into hospital for a hernia operation.
Just take it easy...

I wish you all the luck. Make sure to carry a spare set of sunglasses in your gear. Also if possible invest in a SPOT system that allows you to text your friends and family.
Good Luck!

If the remote batteries are dead, you call someone on your cell phone and ask them to come and change the channel for you. Don't take unnecessary risks.

Re: A Time of honar.
Sounds like an interesting trip. Not one I'd much like, though. I've had enough of desert hiking. Too much doggone sun!

I wonder why the fourth largest? Why not the first largest? Or the last one for that matter? That last one could actually be done, you know.
On a lighter note, this dream seems to be a tad better than a few others I have seen posted here.
On a serious note: Do take care to make sure you complete the journey in one piece, alive and kicking sand. I don't know what has prompted you to take such a journey, but there is every chance you will turn out to be a much better person than you are today after the journey is complete. So congratulations for the same in advance.
Try and keep a diary. Write into it regularly. And once you are back, get a good publisher to help you publish a book on it. I would like to see something along the lines of the Papillon, Motorcycle Diaries and many other travelogues I have read and enjoyed.
Best of luck from the bottom of my heart.
