"Cope was received by officials from the Australian, Mongolian and Kazakh embassies upon his arrival. Csongrád County Council chairwoman Anna Magyar said in a welcome speech that "Cope's enterprise could set an example to all Hungarians, as this is a triumph of willpower, which sends the message that one can delve into the past to gain strength." Park director Gábor Horváth announced that a garden paying tribute to world travellers will be established.” –caboodle.hu
Tim will post a story of his experience soon, but in the meantime would like to personally thank CuChallaine and Basha of the Long Riders Guild who gave Tim realistic advice, support, and dedicated help and were instrumental in making this journey possible. see www.thelongridersguild.com
