Mrs. Miems Swanepoel, of Welgemoed near Cape Town, is 73 years old and heading off on her latest adventure - climbing the Annapurna in the Himalayas next month! Two years ago, she started up own business, Miems Adventure. She bought a 15-seater Toyota and became chief driver, cook, guide and expedition leader. Her latest adventure sees her leading a group of 18 people in March to the ... but before they leave, she's doing the Otter Trail, followed by a hike in the Witelskloof. When she isn't running her own business, energetic Miems works as an immigration consultant for a German company in Cape Town. She also fits time in for swimming and biathlons. Most of the time, she does her activities on her own, as her husband, Swannie (76), follows his own athletic programme. He is training for the Two Oceans Marathon. In 1995 Miems took a group of climbers up Kilimanjaro's Uhuru pea. In 1999 she climbed Mount Kenya. In 2001 she reached the base camp at Kala Pattar in the Himalayas.
