Scotsman Mark Beaumont is aiming to go around the world in 80 days, but unlike Phileas Fogg and Michael Palin, he鈥檚 doing it on his bicycle. He鈥檚 cycling at a rate of 240 miles a day, and aims to circumnavigate 14 different countries. He鈥檚 aiming to set a new personal best, ten years after he broke the record for fastest manpowered navigation of the globe.

Mark spoke to 5 live from Outer Mongolia, where he was a third of the way round the world after 25 days.

He said: 鈥淚鈥檝e really got to take it a day at a time. I can鈥檛 think too far ahead, it gets a bit scary when I start to do that.鈥�
