Local Legends Series
Winter 2023/24 | Talk & Food | £15 per person
Local Legends Series
Throughout the winter months we will be hosting three talk & food evenings at Base Camp Cafe. These will celebrate those awesome people in our local area, the ones that are going out week in week out and doing amazing things.
From the transformative power of following one's passion to seek their own unique journey, to the trails of South Wales ultra distance fell running, and finishing 1,000 metres up in the desert of Oman!
Food will be served before each talk – please let us know of any dietary requirements. Menu will be made available closer to the talk.
By attending the talks you'll also be supporting The Outdoor Partnership, with a share of the ticket sales going towards their work to support the people of Wales to take up outdoor activities as a life-long pursuit.
Tickets cost £15 which includes food, and a donation to The Outdoor Partnership.

Programme - Winter 2023/24:
Kasia Piatek - January 17th
Kasia's story is a testament to the transformative power of following one's passion. From the confines of an 8-to-5 project manager role, she boldly transitioned into a life that echoed her heart's true calling: the mountains. She left her office job to explore a new life.
Her story reminds us that sometimes the most rewarding path is the one we carve ourselves. She followed her heart and found a life filled with adventure and purpose, inspiring others to seek their own unique journeys.
Brett Mahoney - 21st February
Brett Mahoney, Brett is a big fan of type 2 fun, preferring a long day of running in the mountains to most other activities in life. Bimbles in the dark depths of winter add to the adventure and this talk will take you on a trip through Brett's winter completions of Rownd Mynydd Du (Black Mountains Round) and the South Wales Traverse - 2 ultra distance fell running rounds here in South Wales.
Bob Thomas - 20th March
Bob Thomas, Oman Desert Odyssey: The day after his last Local Legend talk Bob headed out to Oman with the goal of climbing the 1,000 Metre South Face of Jebel Misht. Join Bob as he shares his Oman story!
