Of course, one man’s meat is another man’s poison, find something that offers a sense of challenge for you.
The ideas on these pages are just a starting point to get you thinking, please forward us any ideas you have and pictures and we can add them to the list.
Start an adventure club at your school
I once bumped into a chap who had cycled from Glasgow to Aviemore on a butcher bike with his gear in plastic bags on the handlebars. You don’t need lots of fancy equipment, sometimes more high tech gear actually reduces the experience.
Inspire – give a presentation on an adventure experience you have had, tell people how you made it happen, what it gave you and how easy it is to get out there.
Pack up your tent and sleep out somewhere, in many of the hilly parts of the country you can just set off and go, find somewhere you like and settle down. We suggest you just leave your mobile at home and enjoy.
Explore a river by canoe, camp out for a few days on your expedition.
Bike touring,
hitch hike to start your outdoor adventure
make a raft and paddle out to an island
explore the woods rather than take the path
when walking on the hills break off the path
wild swimming
let your kids roam - send em off into the fields/woods to play
