Mark Beaumont is a remarkable man with a penchant for ultra endurance expeditions. His epic journey, which would see him break one of the last great circumnavigation World Records, took him over 18,000 miles, across four continents and through 20 countries. Through an unbeatable display of sheer determination, Mark beat the previous record by 81 days, cycling at a speed of 100 miles a day for over half a year.

In The Man who Cycled the World Mark hopes to give the audience an insight into his epic journey, where he faced hostile encounters on the border lands of the Helmand Province, monsoon rains in South East Asia and an unrelenting headwind for 3,500 miles across the desolate Australian Outback. Despite being mugged in Louisiana, locked up by police in Pakistan, and nearly washed away by torrential rains in Thailand, as well as being knocked off his bike three times, Mark said he never felt like giving up. "There were long stretches where I didn't speak to anyone and had no contact. I took a lot of strength from the fact that a lot of people were watching a little dot on a GPS map and knew where I was."

With a thirst for adventure from an early age (Mark cycled from John O’Groats to Lands End aged just 15), Mark’s story is a captivating tale of where life can take you if you are determined. A story of mental and physical endurance as well as a fascinating insight into the world we live in.
