Mark who was born in the foothills of the Scottish Highlands, at just twelve years old cycled across Scotland from Dundee to Oban. A few years later, while still at school he completed the 1,000-mile solo ride across Britain from John O’Groats to Land’s End.

His next long-distance ride took him the length of Italy from Sicily to the Alps, a journey of 1,336 miles, helping to raise £50,000 for charity. After graduating from Glasgow University, he decided to devote himself full time to endurance adventurers. And in 2017, Mark made history pedalling through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris just 78 days, 14 hours and 40 minutes after setting off on a mission to cycle the globe in under 80 days.

Join us on Wednesday 28 October at 8pm to hear about Mark’s remarkable, kaleidoscopic tour of the world that redefines the limits of human endurance.

All ticket proceeds go to Ethiopia Medical Project which supports the Buccama Health Centre in southern Ethiopia, home to half of the four million people worldwide who suffer from Podoconiosis, a non-contagious form of elephantiasis. This disfiguring condition simply known as ‘Podo’, causes massive swelling of the feet and lower limbs. Through education Podo can be prevented. It can be treated and in many cases reversed with soap, water and shoes. EMP’s mission is to eradicate Podo from this part of Ethiopia.

Each ticket purchased will receive a €50 voucher which can be used on any holiday with cycling and walking adventure company Follow The Camino or its sister company One Foot Abroad. (Terms and Conditions below)
