Despite his exhortations I've not made it along to one yet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18516#post-272252 Fri, 12 Jan 2018 15:15:03 +0000 unhurt 272252@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://rsgs.org/events/" rel="nofollow">https://rsgs.org/events/</a></p> <p>Various locations - not all Edinburgh. I fancy this:</p> <p><a href="https://rsgs.org/event/edinburgh-felicity-aston-pole-of-cold-a-journey-to-chase-winter/">Felicity Aston – Pole of Cold: A Journey To Chase Winter<br /> </a>24th January @ 2:15 pm - 3:45 pm<br /> "“What does winter mean to you?” This was the question that Felicity and her team sought to answer as they travelled more than 35,000km from the UK across Scandinavia and Siberia. Using images, stories, film footage and sounds gathered during the expedition, Felicity describes the people and places the team experienced as they headed into some of the most extreme winter climates in the world, including the Pole of Cold."</p> <p>@SallyHinch, this one is <a href="https://rsgs.org/event/dumfries-charlie-walker-following-the-line-an-8-month-eurasian-triathl/">in Dumfries</a> and sounds ace: "In February 2017, Charlie Walker began a 9,000km triathlon spanning the length of the perceived border between Europe and Asia, from the midwinter snowfields of the Russian arctic to the Bosporus in Istanbul.‘Following the Line’ was an 8-month endurance feat.
