News from Iceland, the Lake District, and the Shed

[Alastair Humphreys]

I hope that you are enjoying the summer, and looking forward to the stunning Meteor Shower that you'll be able to see every night this week - a great excuse for a microadventure (or a late night drink in the garden).

I've been busy film-making over the past couple of months. (I'd love it if you took 5 seconds to subscribe to my YouTube channel so that you hear when I upload a new film. Just click the red 'Subscribe' button here.) 

Here's a few of my favourite recent moments:

• Iceland: In Search of Adventure (2 minutes)
  

​

• Lake District: the Fred Whitton Challenge (3 minutes)

• Paddleboarding through Durdle Door (3 minutes)
  NOTE: ending of film is very silly - I advise you check it out first before showing film to school classes!

​

• A Proper School Trip - Microadventure Style (3 minutes)​
  

• Mountain Bikes and Bothy Nights (8 minutes)
  By far my most-viewed film of the year so far

​

OTHER NEWS

• Once a season this year I am spending a night out in the same woods. It’s a simple idea: a way to see how the world changes, to measure my own year and make plans, and to experience the outdoors in a variety of ways. Here's what happened in the spring and summer.
  
• If you're anywhere near Aberdeen, I'll be speaking at the Torphin gala this Thursday evening. 
• The simple expedition grant I've been helping a little with now has over 1000 applications! If you'd like to apply, or if you're able to donate a bit of cash to help someone with their first expedition, please click here.
• If you're too busy to get out into the wild as much as you like, if you only get out "once in a blue moon", then hopefully this will encourage you to make your next trip happen sooner than that!
• I'm really pleased that my kids' books have now overtaken Microadventures as my best-selling book. The third installment is out in September​.
