Do you like the thought of heading off on an adventure but don't really have the time to see it through?

Why not try a MicroAdventure?

They're smaller, achievable, won't break the bank and will go a long way to scratching that itch you might never have reached anyway.

In this episode we speak with the charming and inspirational Al Humphreys about adventures in his life, before focussing on the smaller, more achievable things we could all fit into our busy lives to keep our thirst for fun, physical activity and spiritual reward truly quenched. Al is the author of 14 books to date, is an accomplished and entertaining public speaker, podcaster and general all-round good guy. Our conversation is packed full of ideas for things you can do from your own doorstep that will ensure you have some great stories (and maybe photos) to share with friends and family - in fact, why not share your MicroAdventures with them too?

I know for a fact that since this conversation, Tommy climbs a tree near his office once a month during his lunch break!

Amongst many topics, we talk about the character traits of someone who enjoys adventure and adversity, what drives us to seek adventure and the legal & moral wrangling of responsible wild camping.
