Below you’ll find a selection of things I’d like to share with you, some short
interesting snippets, news of what you readers are up to, and a selection of
links from my newsletter archive. ?

  • Film: I signed up for a month of Disney+ purely to watch
    The Rescue.
    It was brilliant. (You can also watch the incredible
    Free Solo
    and the Beatles’ Get Back, which is worth it for this
    astonishing demonstration
    of how creativity comes through perspiration, not inspiration.)
  • Books: This is a neat way to explore the
    World Map of Books and broaden
    what you read. So far this year I’ve read a novel from the top ten most populous countries. It’s a fine way to
    travel the world without leaving my armchair.
  • Article: One man’s
    epic journey
    from Togo to Greenland.
  • Adventure: Brand new easy adventure event hits Europe: a 1000km bikepacking treasure hunt with 80 checkpoints spread over 1200 square km of mountain wilderness. 99% off-tarmac, stunning scenery, and pretty much guaranteed divine weather.
    Five days of adventure!
  • Petition: Everyone, everywhere, should be able to grow up, and grow old, with nature. But one in three people in England do not have nature near their home, with little or no green space at all in some of the most disadvantaged areas. An important
    petition.
  • Adventure Grant:
    The Sidetracked Adventure Fund
    is designed to support individuals or groups who display a creative and innovative approach towards adventurous travel and expeditions. They are looking for personal stories of exploration, meaningful journeys, and unique, self-powered experiences.

And some quick snippets… ?

  • ✂️ How blooming lovely is this? “
    Bothy Project is a charitable organisation operating in rural contexts, providing creative residences in bespoke small-scale, off-grid bothies to explore creativity, landscape, and living simply.”
    Sign me up, please!
  • ✂️ A new 575km coast-to-coast
    bikepacking route along Britain’s oldest road. (Thanks to
    Tomo for the link.)
  • ✂️ If you love maps, you’ll love this
    Twitter account.

Can I help you? Let me know if you have a relevant project that my readers would appreciate. Here’s what you guys have been up to recently… ?

Thank you for reading.
Cheers,
Alastair
