About this listen

 ‘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.

Each one of Alistair's books has brought excitement, fed ambition and also reminded me of the extra beauty that can be found in a bountiful existence.

I loved his sense of humour and passion for getting us out the door and exploring, even if it might start with our garden first!

Super book

"Adventures" sounds big and scary, but "microadventures" sound brilliant and far more doable! Plenty of advice, tips, tricks, ideas, and anecdotes that anyone can pick up and use!

A book jammed full of inspiration!

If you're looking for adventure and don't know where to start., this book is for you. Alastair Introduces every possible idea in which we can explore our world, pull us away from our shiny screens and computers, and open our eyes to the amazing land we inhabit. Without spending a fortune and not travelling too far away from home. not only does he bombard the listener with ideas, but also the equipment needed and the effort required. Thank you Alastair.

There are no excuses not to have an adventure.
