Episode 2
Fort William is once again resounding to the sound of cheering crowds and screeching tyres as the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup returns to Scotland. And there is no shortage of action, from the fast, gladiatorial 4X to the brutal downhill. Launching off from the top of the Nevis range, the best riders in the world plummet 555 metres down one of the longest and toughest courses on the circuit.
Presented by Duncan McCallum and Dougie Vipond.
Lairig Ghru
The Adventure Show is in the heart of the Cairngorms for a race that is an inspiration for runners across the UK - the Lairig Ghru. With nearly 3,000 feet of ascent, this marathon-length course is a spectacular run through wild country, rough tracks and forests. Plus the inside story on a major sporting triumph as The Adventure Show follows three intrepid swimmers in their attempt to be the first to cross the North Minch. And, the spectacular Ride to the Sun - 100 miles of cycling, through the night, from Carlisle to Cramond.

The Dramathon
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.

The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game.

The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
