ADVENTURE TIME IS ON AGAIN!

On the 21st of November, from 7.30pm – ‘til late, we’ll be hosting Adventure Time, a monthly meet up of Sydney’s outdoors community and local adventurers.

On the night we’ll have talks by:

Mike Law aka “the Claw” – Sand or sanity?
----------------------------
For the Australian climbers out there, Mike Law hardly needs an introduction. Mike has been climbing hard grades since the 70’s, before cams and modern belay devices existed and when free soloing was often just as safe as being “on rope”. He has ticked routes into the 30’s and if you have climbed in the Bluies, chances are that you have been on one of the thousands of routes put up by this colourful character. Tonight, he will be talking about some of his experiences climbing on sea cliffs.

Also, check out his newly released autobiographical book: “Law Unto Himself”. If you are lucky, he might even sign a few copies...

Clark Carter and Andrew Johnson – A Journey down the Sepik
----------------------------------------
Clark Carter is a passionate adventurer and adventure filmmaker who has experienced parts of the globe that very few ever have. At just 21 he attempted to make the first complete traverse of Victoria Island in the Canadian Arctic, using homemade wheeled kayaks. He completed this journey in 2008, on his second attempt, receiving the spirit of Adventure Award from the Australian Geographic society for his efforts. More recently, Clark spent 40 days skiing from the North Pole to Canada, sending out live footage of the trip every day. Andrew Johnson is no stranger to adventure either. In 2007 he rowed from New Zealand to Sydney in a 7m row boat. He rowed across Bass Strait as training for this, and he’s also a regular competitor in expedition length adventure races. In short, he’s one tough dude.

Clark and Andrew will be talking about a journey they undertook in 2010, down PNG’s longest river - the Sepik. They spent 5 weeks travelling 1,200 km’s from source to sea, primarily in a dugout canoe.
