Speaker: Ryan Stramrood

A dip into Ryan Stramrood's swimming CV is impressive, and cold. Amongst many swimming feats, Ryan has completed 100 Robben Island-to-mainland crossings and swum across the notorious English Channel. He also swam the first official "Ice Mile" in -1C water in Antarctica and was the first South African male to swim from Europe to Africa across the Gibraltar Strait. All of this in only a Speedo!


Film: Eastern Rises

Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula may as well be the end of the Earth. Its enormously wild landscape is swarming with bugs and bears and threaded with rivers full of massive mouse-eating trout. In this movie, fishing is poetry, Bigfoot lurks in the fog and fishermen hitch rides in Cold War helicopters to explore rivers never fished before. This is the story of a ragtag group's adventure to fly fish the desolate Kamchatka Peninsula.


Parking is at the Nelson Mandela Square Parkade (opposite Workshop17)
