April Club Night: Mark Sedon

  • Grey Lynn RSC 1 Francis Street Auckland, Auckland, 1021 New Zealand (map)

It has been Mark Sedon’s mission in life to never waste a day. From a life filled with adventure growing up in the outdoors and travelling all seven continents of the world, Mark has extraordinary tales to tell, including some incredible accounts of survival when things go wrong.

From breaking his back when he was buried in an avalanche, to watching helplessly high up on an erupting volcano, starving for five days in a shipping container in remote Papua, and a yacht fire and broken mast in the Southern Ocean. Climbing Mt Everest, then saving a Sherpa’s life high in the Himalaya, and kite skiing 2,000km across Antarctica for two months in temperatures as low as -60 C to climb the most remote mountain on earth. 

The talk will cover the highs and lows, the laughs and humility of Mark’s audacious adventures. He delivers an important message to every would-be thrill-seeker about understanding and mitigating risk and for those, like Sedon, happy then to accept the risk, it’s about living life to the fullest.

Those who are new and want to ask any questions, feel free to come along at 6pm since our guest speakers start at 7pm. Grab some food and a drink from the bar downstairs and head up to the 2nd floor where we’ll all be hanging out! You’re more than welcome to bring your own dinners!
