Editor's foreword 15 August 2014

Sit back, relax and enjoy another issue that celebrates living life, getting outdoors and pursuing our dreams.

In this issue, our cover feature is an interview with adventure racing snake Graham Bird, captain of Team Merrell Adventure Addicts, to find out more about expedition adventure racing. For our kayakers, there's 10 great kayaking destinations to add to your bucket list. Find out what went down in last weekend's afb SOX Trail Run, which boasts the largest prize purse of any trail run.

In part two of Disho and a little luck, we pick up on the trail that takes us into the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, known for its large herds of plains game, many predators and the endangered African wild dog.

Summer's just around the corner, so don't miss the articles on natural solutions for a bikini-ready body and the benefits of using an elliptical, also known as a cross-trainer or X-trainer, to get into shape injury free. With sport becoming more and more competitive, we travel to the Cape to discover why the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport (SAS) has become the training destination of choice for champions from all over the world and various sporting codes.

Feeling lucky? Enter our competitions and stand to win great prizes.

Until next Friday, don't hesitate, don't procrastinate, do it now!
