We know that winter can be a tough time for the adventurous type. You either face up to freezing temperatures and head out on the icy roads, climbing snowy hills, or you put your feet up and become steadily bored out of your mind!

But never fear, Outfit Moray and Windswept Brewing have come to the rescue, giving you something to look forward to in those long winter evenings of early 2015 - The Spirit of Adventure Talk series. Come along and have a bite to eat and grab a beer from the Windswept Bar, then settle down to hear from an adventurer who really has been there and done that. They may even have the T-shirt!

Second on the bill (following David 'Heavy' Whalley on 27th February) is Mountain Biking expert, and Glenmore Lodge's Head of Mountain Biking, Al Gilmour. Al loves getting out on his bike, especially heading into the hills on longer distance trips and has biked all over the world! One of his greatest achievements is biking 2,768 miles from Banff, Canada to the Mexican Border. Hear all about this trip along the Great Divide - a route that's got a lot of uphill and includes some climbs starting at 8,000ft in the Colorado Rockies - as well as some top tips on 'Biking by Numbers'.
