Mark will share what it took to cycling around the world in record breaking time, to rowing the Arctic and of course, his adventures in the mountains. Mark has just returned from an 118,000 mile journey in the build up to Glasgow 2014, filming with the BBC, so will also be talking about some of the inspiring athletes that he trained with from across the Commonwealth.

Dawn McKinnon of the Aberdeen & St John Mountain Rescue Association said: “Members of Aberdeen Mountain Rescue
Team need endurance skills for their job on the hills but Mark seems to be extraordinary – we are absolutely delighted that Mark is coming to do the talk and so grateful that he is doing it to support the Team.”
