Complete with detailed maps of each stage and photos the book recounts the adventures from the last race. It reveals the harsh reality of what it takes to compete in this uniquely demanding challenge: the physical and mental hardship, equipment, extreme conditions, strategic thinking and lucky escapes.

Any proceeds from the book sales will go towards funding team GB in the 2013 X-Alps.

You can also view the day by day maps from the book here in interactive format:
