"Last May, I crossed the Altyn Emel desert (in Kazakhstan) from Konirolen in the north to the river Ili in the south. From there, I was able to refill my water tank and reach another town, Darbazakym, to the east. It took me 5 days for around 100km, so I took my time!

The trolley allowed me to carry 12 litres of water as well as freeze-dried food for 6 days (in case of problems). I'm 54 years old and not a great sportsman. It would have been impossible for me to envisage this crossing carrying everything (personal belongings + water and food) on my back. "
