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.

The problems I had with the book were that his idea of “micro” seemed a bit daunting for me!! Some of the adventures seemed quite macro in my mind, but I realize the author is very experienced. I also felt the book became a bit repetitive - I felt like every other adventure was about sleeping outside without a tent, which I’m not particularly excited about isn’t my idea of adventure lol.
There were tons of ideas and options in the book which I appreciated, but every time it came back to sleeping outside in a Bivvy bag, and it got a little boring for me.
That said, this book definitely has inspired me to incorporate more of my own type of mini adventures in my life. I like the idea that an adventure can just take a day and the idea of immersing yourself in nature. I already have ideas of little things we can do as a family and looking for mini bike races to sign my kids up for.
It was inspiring, informative, and educational.
If you like walking, running, biking, mountain climbing, camping, and sleeping outside tentless and want to find more ways to do that without having to plan a super extravagant vacation or you are short on time, or just need a little push to get outdoors more often, then this is the book for you!
A little repetitive but definitely inspiring!

The author has a blog, maybe I'll skim it for ideas, but the upshot is there are ways to explore the unfamiliar or unknown within a day's travel whether it be by foot, bike, train, or car. Do things at night or overnight in the nearby outdoors.
Since he's located in London, everything he refers to is around London, so that adds to the disinterest.
I'm going to return it since I can't finish listening to it.
Unpleasant narrator and boring
