A Year of Microadventure

Friend of the brand, explorer and Scott 2012 team member Al Humphreys is currently working through his latest project a "Year of Microadventure".

Al tells us more.....

"2011 is the Year of Microadventure a whole year when, instead of exotic foreign adventures, I am committed to trying to encourage people to get outside, get out of their comfort zone, go somewhere they’ve never been, go on a microadventure. An adventure that is close to home, cheap, simple, short, and yet very effective.


The aim is to build them up gradually in order that absolutely everyone can get involved and progress from novices to doing something relatively gnarly by the end of the year. Have a look at the videos and blog entries here, then commit to your own microadventure."

Heres the video of Al's latest Microadventure No 8 - River Swim

Al will also be lecturing at this Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival on Sunday 9th October'11 tickets for which are now available here (tickets are selling fast so make sure your quick!)
