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.

Most adventures aren’t so micro

I really wanted to love this book. I go on heaps of mini adventures but all from the book seemed to be about sleeping outside mainly without a tent and different ways of getting there. Like on the train or bus or swimming or cycling and then wild camping. Great if you’re a solo male, not so applicable if yoI feel unsafe as a female or have kids (who you need to contain in a tent so you don’t lose them). Maybe 2 adventures that sounded micro and doable were camping in your backyard and geocaching, besides that they all seemed pretty hard to do and organise. He makes it sound simple as you just grab your bag and go but so different if it’s more than just yourself. Wish there were micro adventures to do with going to local parks and finding nature in unexpected locations, even just finding green on a map and seeing what’s there, mapping out your neighbourhood etc.
