Talking at FEAT

The speakers

I was very fortunate to be invited to present at FEAT 2013, which in my mind is the pinnacle of events focused on adventurers and epic trips around the world.  My talk was entitled  'Exploring Africa's countries & highest summits'.  I was one of 10 speakers from a diverse background talking about amazing experiences and trips around the world.













The speakers at FEAT Jo'burg on Thursday, 10 October 2013 were:

Chris Bertish - 'SUPin' and surfin' adventures'

Dave Joyce & Marco Broccardo - 'Crossing the Empty Quarter'

David Waddilove - 'From Meteorites to Mandela'

Gavin Moffat & Ingrid Lotze - 'Really mom, it’s not that deep!'

Karen Hauptfleisch - 'Exploring Africa's countries & highest summits'

Kevin Davie - 'On the tracks of William Burchell'

Nikki Candy - 'Space Camp'

Ray Chaplin - 'Facelevel expedition down the Orange'

Ricky Goodhead - 'Expedition running'

Richard Kohler - 'Paddling South Africa's coastline'

On stage
The abstract to my talk was "After climbing Kilimanjaro in 2002, the bug bit and Karen decided to climb to the top of the highest mountain in each of Africa's 54 countries (including the islands). Over the past decade she has travelled to more than 30 countries (http://www.featsa.co.za/2013/05/karen-sees-the-sunrise-from-30-african-peaks/), standing on top of their tallest mountains. These journeys are about more than hills and mountains. Karen is exploring the countries of Africa, venturing into remote areas rarely visited by foreigners. She's learning about the history of country, meeting villagers and encountering more friendliness than animosity."  You can see the talk at http://www.featsa.co.za/2014/03/karen-hauptfleisch-video/
