I don’t think anyone should need to apologise for using ACDC as a soundtrack for a glorious summer burn-up on the mountain bikes. But just in case I do need to apologise… it was for Alex, my partner on this challenge, who loves that stuff. I tried to convert him to Springsteen but without success!
So here is the video for the 10th microadventure of the year. I hope you like it.
10500 Days (and almost as many words)
“My thoughts first turned to adventure 10,500 days ago today. The idea of adventure for me at first was simple and uncomplicated. It was the prospect of excitement, fun, and novelty that were pulling me forward, and the push of […]...

Very much enjoyed reading the previous post, a storyboard of sorts, before seeing the film. It added an extra element to it. It also showed that even if a picture is often better than a 1000 words sometimes, at other times, like when you were battling over the water, words are needed to explain the struggle.
Can’t really think of anything better than cycling through the Cuillin while listening to AC/DC.
Whole trip looks a lot of fun (minus injury). Done Blaven but none of C Ridge, let alone the In Pin ahhhhh
Wow! This looks like an amazing area. Having an approach to the climb by mtb and kayak makes it so much more interesting.
Congrats on your year of Micoadventures,they have all made great reading/watching. Your ‘fame’ has even spread to a mention in the editioral of latest issue of Outer Edge Magazine, probably Australias leading outdoor magazine. Great stuff!
I really loved this microadventure! Great job pushing yourself out on the rockface. Sometimes being humbled can be truly satisfying – especially when it is a mound of mountain that is dominating.
