On the 17th of October, from 7.30pm – ‘til late, we’re hosting the second Adventure Time, a FREE monthly meet up of Sydney’s outdoors community and local adventurers.

On the night we’ll have talks by:

Glenn Singleman - Professional Adventuring - a contradiction in terms?

Glen is an internationally recognised professional adventurer. He is probably best known for his BASE-climb exploits and has successfully climbed and then BASE-jumped from some of the highest cliffs on the planet. Glen and his wife Heather currently hold the official record for the highest BASE jump in the world. Tonight, he will be speaking to us about professional adventuring; whether adventurers have 'use by' dates like many other sports people and if it possible to be an adventurer and have a mortgage or children or a steady job. He will address these questions with a run through some of the 'professional' adventures that he has been involved with over the years.
For more information on Glenn, check out his website: http://www.baseclimb.com/

Patrick Spiers - How I learned to stop worrying and love the wind

Pat is an Australian Geographic sponsored adventurer who has travelled across some of the most isolated landscapes in the world with his sled and kite. Pat will take us on a climbers journey into the beautiful world of remote snowkiting and kitesledding, with a few bruising anecdotes along the way. How I learned to stop worrying and love the wind

Film Screening:

We are very excited to announce that we will be screening the movie “Down The Line”. This is a short film on canyoneering, which has a bit of everything, from exploration, big waterfalls and deep gorges, to commitment and friendship. Adventure Time has been given special access to the film, which hasn’t yet been released. Check out the trailer at: http://deruydtsphotography.wordpress.com/tag/canyoneering/
