Guest Speaker:
Alongside the collection of films we'll be joined on stage by adventure racer and record-breaking endurance athlete Jamie Aarons. This summer Jamie broke the record for the fastest self-propelled continuous round of all 282 Scottish Munros, completing the round in 31 days, 10 hours and 27 minutes, beating the previous record by over 12 hours. That’s 817 miles on foot, 516 miles by road bike, 230 miles by mountain bike, 30 miles by gravel bike, and seven miles by kayak. Jamie will be live on stage to share her incredible story.
