Mark Beaumont

Inspired by the adventures of Phileas Fogg, Mark Beaumont made this 80 Days dream a reality by pedalling around the planet at the pace of 240 miles every day.

Smashing the previous circumnavigation World Record, this feat of endurance was the latest in a career that has taken Mark to well over 100 countries, into the Arctic, the high mountains and around the Commonwealth, also surviving capsizing in the mid-Atlantic. Mark’s live events are the best way of seeing the films and photography and sharing his rich experiences of the cultures, landscapes and people who have shaped his journeys.
