As part of my quest to find microadventure in Britain I set out to walk from Exeter to the source of the Thames following the route of the Fosse Way, the longest Roman road in Britain.

Thank You
Thank you to the many people who have kindly "bought me a coffee" for just £2.50 as encouragement to keep this blog going. "Yes, I too would like to donate a couple of pounds to this site..!"
One thing I hate about all your adventures, micro or otherwise, is that they instantly make me think: ‘Aw, I wanna do THAT!’ and then immediately after: ‘But that would be copying – damn Al and his originality!’
So I’m going to walk the Fosse Way with a fridge. Or something. 🙂
Imitation is flattery… 😉

Enjoy that fridge!
Staggeringly ingenious.
Historically fascinating.
Inspiring to those of us who can’t do the massive things you do.
Yes, your Microadventures are definitely a touch of genius!
Brilliant video too.

Wonderful 5 day trip! What camera did you use for this?
Have got a river trip planned very soon and wondering what camera to take.
Hi Hugo,
I used a Canon 5D Mkii.
If you are doing a river trip can I suggest that you watch this little vid I made: http://vimeo.com/16580852
And also buy yourself a GoPro Hero HD for the water phases…
This is a great video – really good stuff. An excellent advert promoting tourism in the UK. I might try this route when I am next in Exeter with enough free time.
