ADVENTURER Anna McNuff will be talking about 'Running the length of New Zealand' at Dunfermline High School next week.

The writer and 'mischief-maker' has also roller bladed 100 miles around Amsterdam, cycled up the Andes and jogged Hadrian's Wall dressed as a Roman soldier.

She will be sharing her tales on Wednesday November 1 as part of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society's Inspiring People series.

It starts at 7.30pm and Anna will outline her very modern approach to adventure, often letting her legions of social media fans decide what her next challenge should be.

With Dutch courage, and dressed in 80s garb, her roller blading venture in the capital of Holland was a way of encouraging people to say 'yes to life' more often.

She also ran the 2,000-miles of the Te Araroa trail in New Zealand solo and unsupported, and said: "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it, but I realised that this was a ridiculous reason not to start."

Anna's adventures also have a serious goal. She has a background in psychology and is fascinated by the relationship that exists between mind and body.

With her experiences as an endurance athlete, she's used to pushing her own limits and wants to help others fulfil their potential.

Ahead of the talk in Dunfermline, Anna said: "I'm really looking forward to speaking in Dunfermline and sharing stories from adventures around the globe.

"Scotland is home to some of the UK's most wild places and there seems to be a real appreciation for the importance of exploring and preserving that kind of wilderness here.

"So I can't wait to tap into that and to talk about everything from cresting 5000-metre high passes in the Andes mountains on a bicycle to running the length of New Zealand."

The talk is open to all and tickets – available via rsgs.org, Eventbrite or on the door – are free to RSGS members, students and under-18s and £10 for visitors.
