Episodes
Episode 1
We're taking to the rapids and the stunning white water of the River Tay, near Aberfeldy.

Olympic gold medallist, Tim Baillie from Aberdeen, gives an expert's view on the action.

This month the Adventure Show returns to the spiritual home of Scottish mountain biking, Fort William, for the 2014 World Cup and there's no shortage of action. First there's the fast and furious 4X.
Episode 3
The Adventure Show is in Torridon for the Celtman Extreme Scottish Triathlon, an event which starts with a 3km open water swim that is followed by over 200km of biking. The finale is a 42km run, with an ascent of one of Scotland's Munros thrown in for good measure. It has been described as one of the toughest days of your life and, for most, just finishing is a major achievement.
Episode 4
This month the Adventure Show's heading into some of the most beautiful and remote landscapes in Scotland as we join over 700 competitors for a 50-mile coast-to-coast race. Held annually since 1983, the Highland Cross starts at Kintail on the west with a 20-mile run over the hills to Glen Affric.
Episode 5
This is cycling at its most extreme an event that isn't a race but where entrants battle both the clock and their own pride. Welcome to the very specialist world of Audax, where just completing the route equals success. The Highlands, Glens and Western Isles ride is the toughest ever to be staged in the UK.
The Western Way, Part 1 - Mull of Galloway to Islay
Cameron McNeish celebrates the best of Scotland with a spectacular walk from the south-west tip at the Mull of Galloway to the busy ferry port of Oban. It's a journey from sea level to mountaintop, but also a personal one as Cameron weaves his way through the landscape and visits five very different islands.
The Western Way, Part 2 - Jura to Oban
Cameron McNeish describes Scotland's wild places as a 'world-class landscape', and he celebrates this with a new trail linking the most southerly point of the country, the Mull of Galloway, with the west coast town of Oban.
Episode 8
In the middle of winter, with 17 hours of darkness, over 850 competitors head north of Inverness for one of the world's toughest mountain bike races - the Strathpuffer 24. This is the tenth anniversary of the event and the largest ever 'Puffer. Conditions are testing, with ice, snow and mud pushing the competitors and their bikes to the very limit.

It's fast, it's furious and it's just outside Scotland's capital. The Pentland Skyline Hill Race takes in virtually every peak in this striking landscape: 16 miles long and nearly 2000 metres of ascent.
