Lisa talks for onematchstick about Adventure!
Come join us for an evening of ADVENTURE with our special guest speaker:
THE TALK:
Fascinating Expedition & Adventure Talks (FEAT) is to adventurous pursuits as TED Talks are to... well, everything else. FEAT, an evening of time-limited talks by South African adventurers, was created and launched last year by adventure racer Lisa de Speville.
In this talk Lisa will go through FEAT's unique format - one that makes it so dynamic, captivating and inspiring - as well as a new FEAT 'product' - FEAT Award.
She'll also talk about making that adventure happen - the one that has been in your mind and heart for years - and she'll deal with sponsorship issues too.
And if a two, three or six month adventure is really not an option, she'll tempt you to consider microadventures close to home.
You're welcome to toss any questions about adventure racing and trail running her way - she'll gladly answer.
ABOUT LISA DE SPEVILLE:
Over the past 12 years, Lisa de Speville has immersed herself in adventure racing and trail running - including staged, ultra and mountain running. She writes about these sports; she participates in events locally and abroad; she runs workshops, courses and an adventure racing club; and she organizes a variety of events - whatever catches her fancy. She's the owner and editor of Adventure Racing, South Africa's adventure racing website and the creator of FEAT. FEAT is very much the accumulation of more than a decade of racing, playing and meeting people as well as her love of reading books on adventures and expeditions.
Date: Tuesday 30 August
Time: 19H00 to 20h00
Venue: Sekolo sa Borokgo School, 45 Susman Ave, Blairgowrie, Randburg

Who’s up for adventure?
On Monday I had dinner with Nick who traded some of his First Sighting wine with me, remember? He asked me if he was famous yet from being blogged…
Well, I was reading more about his wine here. If First Sighting goes well with Adventure, then an adventure must be born....
And that adventure is: Why not go visit the Winery down in the Cape between Elim and Cape Agulhas? I’ve added it to my list of places to visit. It’s a place to go to, just so you can say you’ve been to the southern most wineyard in Africa, and had a fine glass of adventure to taste the terroir (another big wine word) where it is tangible, and experience the spirit of discovery.
And it’s only 9km from the sea! (directions are easy) I know the sea there is lovely, I’ve travelled passed there, not knowing about Agulhas Wines then.
Plus it gives you the chance to say: “Hey, there it is! My first sighting of First Sighting!” That’s a saying worth saying at least once, don’t you think?
So let’s see if we can get a whole bunch of people to go there for an adventurous taste of First Sighting- and be sure to say that you heard about the wine from onematchstick- that way when the message gets back to Nick, he can see how being blogged can be fun- and make him famous! Let's see if we can create a message that goes from this blog, down to the winery, then all the way back to Nick in Johannesburg!
Be sure to keep me in the loop about your adventure!
