20. February 20: Mark Beaumont
Join adventurer Mark Beaumont for a chat at Aberdeen's Lemon Tree. He'll be talking about the trips that have taken him to over 100 countries over the past twenty years, making him one of the most respected ultra-endurance athletes on the planet. Five years on from his famous ‘Around the World in 80 Days’, there is no sign of anyone breaking his circumnavigation World Record. 'Faster' captures the wanderlust to find new disciplines of cycling and new wild places, including those closer to home. As Mark turns 40, he reflects on a career which has evolved from the footloose epics of his 20s, now building towards a level of performance and precision that allows him to continue to push boundaries.
