A NIGHT OF ADVENTURE IN AID OF THE RECENT FLOODS IN PAKISTAN

Come and hear some of the UK's top adventurers and explorers talk about their exploits. They have all waived their fees to raise money for Pakistan. 

Each talk will consist of only 20 slides that will automatically scroll on after just 20 seconds. It is an unusual, challenging presentation format. Once the talk begins there is no stopping or going back: it is fast and furious and the audience must be ready to be swept from adventure to adventure!

Confirmed speakers so far are:

Bonita Norris - The youngest British woman to summit Everest (just back)

Ed Stafford - In 859 days, Ed has just become the first man to walk the entire length of the Amazon from source to sea. This is his first public speech!

Katie L'Herpiniere - is the first person to walk the length of the Great Wall of China, completed the longest ever crossing of the world's 3rd largest ice-cap by a woman, live at -50C on the Arctic Ocean, cycled through East Africa....

Al Humphreys - his adventures include a four year bicycle ride around the world, a yacht race across the Indian Ocean and a 500m canoe expedition down the Yukon River in North America.

Ben Saunders - Ben is a polar explorer and a record-breaking long-distance skier, with four North Pole expeditions under his belt. He is the youngest to ski solo to the North Pole and holds the record for the longest solo Arctic journey by a Briton.

Oliver Steeds - a critically acclaimed independent broadcast journalist, presenter for Travel & Discovery Channels with the popular World's Lost Tribes series and Mystery Investigator.

More speakers to be confirmed soon.

 

Doors open 7pm - Talks start at 7.30pm
