Toby Richardson rang his father and said, “Dad, pack your bags. We’ve got tickets to Peru and we’re going to the 2019 Dakar”.

For as long as I can remember I’d always had Peru as the number-one spot on my list of places to go, and I’d decided in 2018 I was finally going to live the dream of watching the Dakar. When I realised 2019 was the first time ever Dakar would be staged within one country, and would be in Peru of all places, I knew one hell of an adventure was in the making.
