This memorable tale is the end result of journalist Kate Young's wacky Trans-Siberian Writing Challenge in 2008.

The death of a friend in his 30s, combined with a childhood yearning to undertake a journey on the iconic Trans-Siberian Railway, led Kate to agree to write a book during the trip, which could be sold later to raise funds for her local hospice.

This poignant story records her experiences, captured across almost 5,000 miles; 120 handwritten pages and 18 days in Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and post-Olympic Beijing.

Trans-Siberian Odyssey is raising money for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice on the Isle of Wight, which provides palliative care for those with life-shortening illnesses.
