Alastair Humphreys tells us how he chooses his adventures

Alastair Humphreys ยป

How do you choose your next adventure when there are so many options available?

Wizarding up ideas for adventures is one of my favourite things to do. I find it enjoyable, exciting, but also easy. If I was a specialist I would need to search for something higher, harder and faster within my niche every time I wanted a new challenge. But because I am a generalist, I make the next adventure more challenging by making it differently challenging to previous projects. It is an important part of keeping adventure fresh for me.

I am surprised how often people tell me that they really want to do an adventure but donโ€™t know what to do. Hopefully this walk-through of the way I come up with ideas might get your own adventure cogs whirringโ€ฆ
