EXTREME

After three years of fulltime employment our employees get one month off to free their mind and do something really extreme. Think about a challenge the rainbow press wants to write about: Build a 100m Lego tower, surf Jaws without being a pro, hack the Pentagon with an iPhone, read all big philosophers. And that’s what’s brewing for real:

Walk from Joburg to Cape Town in 30 days

Status: Preparation | Due: April 2012

After walking from beautiful Table Mountain to Cape Point (South Africa) in 2009 I knew that I want to do an ultra-long distance trek, just once in my life! It had to be a mission that would require thorough preparation - a project where I could work on my mind and body, increase endurance, learn about the South African geography, geology, flora, fauna, super light trekking equipment, South African history, you name it. 

On 26 April 2012 I took the challenge and hit the road for the 1400 km. After 7 days of walking, two break days, and 7 days of cycling I reached Cape Town. It was a stunning experience, but read it all on my dedicated challenge site.
