100 years ago, Finnish statesman Baron Von Mannerheim trekked across Central Asia on horseback on a mission at the behest of Tsar Nicholas II, and in pursuit of the spoils afforded by The Great Game. This year, Finnish journalist Tony Ilmoni retraced his steps - again via horse - traversing mountain passes, glaciers and deserts. Come and hear him recount this fascinating adventure in the footsteps of one of Finland's most famous historical figures.
