Mark Beaumont

Do we get extra points for papping someone famous?

Tonight I was at the official opening of Edinburgh Napier's new Sighthill Campus and their ribbon-cutting star was Mark Beaumont, the all-round athlete who broke the record for cycling around the world in 2008. Earlier today he tried out the facilities at the city?s Edinburgh Napier University Campus in preparation for a 500-mile rowing trip through the Canadian Arctic.

A lovely guy who was very patient about listening to my own recent mountain cycling adventure at Glentress.
