In Mission Possible, Ash shares the remarkable story of the two world-first expeditions that helped launch his career.

At just 23, he became the first person to walk solo and unsupported across Mongolia, trekking more than 1,500 miles through the Altai Mountains, Gobi Desert and Mongolian steppe. The 78-day journey pushed him to his physical and mental limits, and he almost didn't survive.

A year later, he set out to traverse the length of Madagascar through its interior, climbing the country's eight highest mountains along the way. Over 155 days, he faced serious illness, dangerous wildlife and extraordinary challenges to complete another world first.

But this is more than an adventure memoir. Ash reveals the preparation, sacrifices, self-belief and determination behind his achievements, and how he created a life built around doing what he loves.

An exhilarating and inspiring true story for anyone who has ever dreamed of doing something extraordinary, and wondered whether they could make it happen.
