Written by Fiona

Three inspiring adventurers will be guests at Adventurous Edinburgh, which takes place on Thursday March 16 at Craigdon Mountain Sports, Biggar Road, on the edge of the Pentland Hills.

Part of a series of events from Bikepacking Scotland, Adventurous Edinburgh welcomes Dan Bailey, the editor of UKHillwalking.com and an author, as the host. He will speak to three Edinburgh-based adventurers with very different approaches and backgrounds about their experiences and inspiration.

They include:

  • Geoff Allan, author of the Scottish Bothy Bible
  • Jenny Tough, who has ran the Tien Shan in Kyrgyzstan and cycled the Baltic Sea coast
  • Markus Stitz, who cycled around the world on a singlespeed bike and is founder of Bikepacking Scotland.
