I met Mark Beaumont in a restaraunt in San Sebastain a couple of years ago. Very nice fella.

He's not from Perthshire, he's from Dundee. Not the same at all nonononooooooo.

is it not related to prevailing weather at different times of the year that strangely makes it better in the winter.

I kind of wish he was both the downhiller and the adventurer, Kudos squared.

I always figured those boats were self-righting. Every day's a school-day apparently
