Summary

‘Enthusiastic, pleasingly madcap’ Geographical 
Adventure – something that’s new and exhilarating, outside your comfort zone. Adventures change you and how you see the world, and all you need is an open mind, bags of enthusiasm and boundless curiosity. 
So what’s a microadventure? It’s close to home, cheap, simple, short and 100% guaranteed to refresh your life. A microadventure takes the spirit of a big adventure and squeezes it into a day or even a few hours. 
The point of a microadventure is that you don’t need lots of time and money to meet a new challenge. This practical guide is filled with ideas for microadventures – for you to experience on your own or with friends and family, plus tips and advice on safety and kit. 
Whether it’s sleeping on a hilltop or going for a wild swim, cycling a lap of the Isle of Wight or walking home for Christmas, it’s time you discovered something new about yourself and the world outside your window. Adventure is everywhere, every day and it is up to us to find it. 
Microadventures is a special book that encourages you to use your skills and interests to find the best recreation in your everyday life. Alastair Humphreys promotes outdoor sports and travel as a means of self-discovery and personal growth. 
For fans of Anna Mcnuff (Bedtime Adventure Stories for Grown Ups), Jenny Tough (SOLO), Charlie Walker (On Roads That Echo), Jenny Graham (Coffee First, Then the World), and Levison Wood (The Art of Exploration).
