BROADLANDS RDA

THURSDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2022

Inca Ride – the tale of four friends who rode 3,000 kilometres through Ecuador and Peru.

Ed Lines tells the story of four British university graduates who rode 3,000 kilometres along the spine of the perilous Andes mountains. Their six-month adventure took them through Ecuador and Peru, along the ancient routes of the Incas.

Trekking with their noble criollo horses through precipitous mountains, dense jungle and searing desert, enduring altitudes up to 15,000 feet, they were exposed to some of the most savage terrain on Earth. On their path, they experienced injury and disease, found themselves held at gunpoint, and became subjected to the immense instability of the Andean elements.
 

Before their departure in January 2009, half the team had no equine expertise, riding competence or Spanish tongue, and none had spent more than a cluster of nights away from the comfort of a warm bed.

Ed is excited to announce the launch of Inca Ride: his first book. It took 11 years to pass and he is delighted to say that all proceeds from its sale will be donated equally between Alzheimer’s Society and Médecins Sans Frontières, and ticket sales for this event will go to Broadlands RDA, Medstead.
