Thank you so much for the encouraging messages you’ve been sending me about my new book Ask An Adventurer which has been out for a week now.

(If you haven’t already bought your copy copies you can order here today. Thank you!)

Here are five things I’d like to share with you today… ?

• ?‍♀️ Article: An interview with transcontinental cycle race winner Fiona Kolbinger.
• ⛵️ Film: Rebuilding a wooden boat is the sort of thing I would love to do but blatantly never will.
• ? Exercise: I got lots of enthusiastic feedback about my recent musings on exercise. So here are a few ideas that I think are brilliant… Buy a kettlebell and get this app; try the Bring Sally Up press up challenge; spend a month learning to do a handstand every day.
• ? Article: How to Stop Freaking Out and Tackle Climate Change.
• ??????? A Newsletter if Bikepacking Scotland appeals.

• ✂️ This map would be amazing for planning a long bike journey on, especially if you wanted to write a book.
• ✂️ Where do ancient trees grow? Explore the UK’s ancient tree heritage.
• ✂️ A real-time map of where lightning is striking right now.
• ✂️ A hell of a powerful Tweet about the way we look at our lives. I love this.
• ✂️ Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra: The toughest, weirdest race you’ve never heard of.

Thank you for all your support!

Cheers,

Alastair
