Hi Alastair, I came across your microadventures recently and I'm hooked! It's such a good idea. You should write a book about them - I would buy it anyway.

I saw a Channel 4 programme recently about people going off on gap year adventures round the world. It was basically men having mid-life crises and I think it was just because they were so stuck in their every day life that they were so unhappy. I love the idea of microadventures because it's saying that adventure is right here on your doorstep and you don't have to put your life on hold, or have a big bank balance, to live an adventurous life.

My question is, what do you think it is about adventure that is so appealing? So necessary even?

Hi - another quick question: I've got a 2-year old boy. Can you suggest any microadventures that would involve him?
