Dear Outdoor Enthusiast

Come and join the Mountain Club of SA and SAHPA on Monday, 16 November 2009,
for an insight to the adventures of Pierre Carter and James Braid at the
2009 Red Bull X-Alps Challenge.

Pierre Carter was the first ever South African to compete in this contest.
One had to complete a distance of 818 km by either foot or flying a
paraglider within a set time frame of approx 2 weeks.

Pierre is not only a avid mountaineer, but has also been part of the SA
National Paragliding team in the past. He has hiked and climbed three of the
seven summits of the world successfully.

All those interested in hiking, gliding, mountaineering and climbing might
find this talk and slide show most interesting.

Date: Monday, 16 November 2009
Time: 19h00 for 19h30
Venue: CSIR's Clubhouse Tarentaal, Pretoria
Entry: free of charge

Bring your friends, family and fellow adventure spirits along.

See you there!
