An Evening with Adventurer Justine Curgenven

Hugh Baird University Centre

Come along to a free evening with award winning adventure film maker and expedition sea kayaker Justine Curgenven. The evening will consist of a talk by Justine about her expedition (see below) and she will also footage from the film she produced as a result of the trip. 
In the summer of 2014, Justine Curgenven and Sarah Outen traversed the Aleutian Islands. No-one has succeeded in kayaking the length of the remote and stormy Aleutian Islands which stretch from Russia to Alaska. Explorers Justine Curgenven and Sarah Outen set out to paddle 2,500km along the archipelago to the nearest road confronting more than 20 long crossings which separate the tiny unpopulated islands.
Alone for 101 days in one of the windiest, roughest places on earth, these two women are swept away from land by unknown currents, pounded by rough seas and approached by bears. Experiencing an edge-of-your-seat journey, they gain a rare insight into themselves, the rich wildlife and the lives of the few people who live in this harsh yet beautiful landscape.
