Episode 1
We're taking to the rapids and the stunning white water of the River Tay, near Aberfeldy.

This month the Adventure Show returns to the spiritual home of Scottish mountain biking, Fort William, for the 2014 World Cup and there's no shortage of action. First there's the fast and furious 4X.
Episode 3
The Adventure Show is in Torridon for the Celtman Extreme Scottish Triathlon, an event which starts with a 3km open water swim that is followed by over 200km of biking. The finale is a 42km run, with an ascent of one of Scotland's Munros thrown in for good measure. It has been described as one of the toughest days of your life and, for most, just finishing is a major achievement.
Episode 4
This month the Adventure Show's heading into some of the most beautiful and remote landscapes in Scotland as we join over 700 competitors for a 50-mile coast-to-coast race. Held annually since 1983, the Highland Cross starts at Kintail on the west with a 20-mile run over the hills to Glen Affric.

This is cycling at its most extreme an event that isn't a race but where entrants battle both the clock and their own pride. Welcome to the very specialist world of Audax, where just completing the route equals success. The Highlands, Glens and Western Isles ride is the toughest ever to be staged in the UK.

The Western Way, Part 2 - Jura to Oban
