The Adventure Show

Speyside Dramathon (2018x6)

: 24, 2019

The Dramathon is one of the newest events in the racing calendar but is already hugely popular – attracting over 1,000 people. Competitors follow the iconic Speyside Way from Ballindalloch to Dufftown along forest tracks, riverside paths and through the hills. And it is called the Dramathon for a reason, because the route takes the competitors past nine of Scotland’s finest whisky distilleries. Also in this month’s Adventure Show we have two inspirational stories. We join former tattoo artist Steve Barnes, who has discovered that getting into our wild places helps him cope with a terminal illness. Gerry Moffatt has summited Everest twice, run an extreme adventure company and mapped the river systems of Bhutan but he has also had to battle against an addiction to alcohol.
