Snow Road Audax

In this month's Adventure Show, Dougie Vipond joins the hardiest of bikers for one of the toughest events in the cycling calendar. The Snow Roads Audax is aptly named: it's a 300-kilometre bike ride with nearly 5,000 metres of ascent over some of Scotland's steepest hills - those high passes, like the Lecht and Glenshee, which are often snowbound in winter.

The Celtman

In this month's Adventure Show travels to Torridon for the inaugural Celtman Extreme Scottish Triathlon. And extreme is the word: starting with a three-kilometre open-water swim, followed by over 200 kilometres of biking, and the finale is a 42-kilometre run, with an ascent of one of Scotland's Munros thrown in for good measure. It has been described as one of the hardest days of your life and for most just finishing is a major achievement. Little wonder the Celtman has just won the British Triathlon Event of the Year.
