Microadventure 7: River – Source to Sea
I love the sources of rivers. I grew up near one in Yorkshire. I’ve visited a few in the last couple of years (Thames, Markafjlot, Kaveri, Pjorsa), and I reckon there’s few simpler ways of finding yourself a fascinating journey than to follow your river down to the sea. There’s more than 8000 to choose [...]

The 24 Hour Bivvy Challenge
Microadventure Number 4 for the year is the 24 Hour Bivvy Challenge. It originates from this howies idea from a couple of years ago. Combining aspects of my first three challenges this year (entering a race, going somewhere new, sleeping on a hill) prepares us smoothly for the toughest challenge to date, though one that [...]

G is for Georgia
Georgia is one of my favourite countries. Here I go in search of a slice of it back in London.
D is for Denmark

Eating in one restaurant from a nation representing each letter of the alphabet. An A to Z of world food. [...]
