ARTICLES IN ISSUE 15



OLD FAITHFUL Discovers Botswana and Namibia, Part 3 of 4
Tsumkwe to Epupa Falls. Some wise traveller wrote, Great journeys are memorable not so much for what you saw, but for where you camped. Following on from my previous article in DO IT NOW, Xen and I had left Tsumkwe, a small settlement inhabited by bushman in the north-eastern section of Namibia, and were on our way to Etosha
Solo Across Western Sahara
Leaving the developed comforts of Agadir in southern Morocco behind me, I ventured towards the large grey area named Sahara on my map. There would be no backup crew or support vehicle on this expedition, no satellite phones, GPS navigation or get out of jail free cards on offer.
Across the Spine of Taiwan
There's something to be said for New Year's resolutions, if you stick to them. I had the most awesome and memorable adventure of my life as a result of a New Year's resolution: to fill my life with as much adventure as possible.
Snowboarding in Lech, Austria
My wife Elri, some friends of ours and I boarded Swiss Air just after 20h00 destined for Zurich and three weeks of skiing, snowboarding and touring through Europe. First up was a week in Lech, Austria, then a week in Meribel, France, and lastly a week in Grindelwald, Switzerland.

FEEDBACK

CAPESTORM Roodeplaat Ramble - 29 January 2012
After the typical late afternoon Highveld rains on Saturday, the veld was fresh and clean and the skies clear on Sunday morning before the start of the Roodeplaat Ramble. The conditions were perfect and the venue awesome as 600 trail runners arrived to register for what promised to be a great morning out on the trails. The lawn and decks of the Blades Hotel were filled with runners having their early morning coffee, socializing and nervously checking out the long floating bridge awaiting them at the finish. ...read more

MTN Barberton – XCM 1 and half Marathon 1 Driven by NISSAN
The first MTN ultra marathon national of 2012 was a huge success, the guys from Advendurence did a superb job and provided the thousands of cyclists with a world class event consisting of about 3000 meters of climbing over 120km.
