Australian completes 10,000 km trip from Mongolia to Hungary PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 26 September 2007
ImageAn Australian has finished a three-year trek beginning in Mongolia and ending in Hungary. 

Tim Cope, 28, sought to retrace the steps of nomadic peoples who made their way from Central Asia to Europe. He traveled the 10,000 kilometers on horseback, accompanied by two pack horses and a dog. 

Cope began his adventure in Mongolia in June 2004 and traveled through Kazakhstan, southern Russia, Ukraine and, for the last two months, Hungary. 

"I'm feeling a bit panicky about finishing because I can't imagine saying goodbye to the horses," Cope told the Melbourne Herald Sun. "It's become my way of life for the last three years."
