One of life's great mysteries.

Melrose Book Festival tonight for a talk by Scottish adventurer, and world record holder for circumnavigation by bike, Mark Beaumont.

What a top bloke! A motivation to all of us. Great stories and photos of his round the world trip, and his cycle/climbing adventures travelling south through the Americas.

Mark Beaumont's adventures

While I was queueing to buy the book I noticed this lovely lady. How on earth did he manage to pull her?
