The Marathon man..

Check out this video.  I did some filming with Triple Echo Productions for the Adventure Show on BBC2 Scotland.  Dr Andrew Murray will be running from the top of Scotland to the sand dunes of the Sahara, covering just short of 3000 miles, in 85 consecutive days (that's over 100 marathons!!)
He's aiming to raise £100,000 for the Yamaa Trust charity to help reduce poverty in the South Gobi region of Mongolia.
If you'd like to donate some money (lets face it, it's well deserved!!) you can do so by clicking here

Oh, and some of the footage is from a Go Pro camera..

DANNY MACASKILL: WAY BACK HOME

I didn't realise Scotland was so sunny!!
Nice little video of Mr MacAskill up to his usual tricks.  Quite a nice little advert for this country of ours..

Winter has arrived..

Well up north anyway!
After the dry tooling comp at the Ice Factor in Kinlochleven on Saturday we decided to shake off the hangover and go for a plod in Glencoe to see what the winter conditions are like.  To my surprise, winter conditions had arrived!!  Quite exciting really!!
