What is an adventure? And where is the right place to “find” one? Is this kind of experience a suitable concept for anyone? Alastair Humphreys (Adventurer, Author and Blogger,) is the right person to answer that question. Watch the video interview:

Alastair Humphreys is a British Adventurer, Author and Blogger. He spent over 4 years cycling round the world, a journey of 46,000 miles through 60 countries and 5 continents.

More recently Alastair has walked across southern India, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, run six marathons through the Sahara desert, completed a crossing of Iceland, and participated in an expedition in the Arctic, close to the magnetic North Pole. He has trekked 1000 miles across the Empty Quarter desert and 120 miles round the M25 – one of his pioneering microadventures. He was named as one of National Geographic’s Adventurers of the year for 2012.

Alastair’s talk on microadventures will add an energetic, inspirational and motivational dimension to the agenda. A microadventure is an adventure that is short, simple, local, cheap – yet still fun, exciting, challenging, refreshing and rewarding. As the world’s population becomes increasingly urbanised, busy, and stuck in front of a screen, microadventures offer a realistic escape to wilderness, simplicity and the great outdoors. The appeal of microadventures is that they make adventure accessible to people who may have very little outdoor experience.
