Alastair Humphreys is an adventurer, blogger, author, and motivational speaker. He has ridden a bike 46,000 miles around the entire world, rowed the Atlantic Ocean, and walked across India, but it’s the smaller adventures which have had the biggest impact. Alastair has created a concept called "microadventures", which encourages you to get outside, get outside of your comfort zone, and get to somewhere you have never been before.
These are the constraints that we have on our lives. Let's stop moaning about those and work out what adventure can fit around the rest of it!
Gear Recommendations
Bivy Bag
A bivvy bag is like a waterproof jacket for your sleeping bag. It’s a thin, waterproof bag that you can fit over the top of your sleeping bag. It is cheaper, smaller, and more discreet than a tent (which, according to Alastair Humphreys, is like "a rubbish version of the indoors").
