Microadventures: Local Discoveries for Great Escapes by Alastair Humphreys
4.0
This book was great for getting into the correct frame of mind about Micro-adventuring and discovering more about where you live but removing one star for two reasons:
1) All the examples are "UK" examples yet do not feature one from NI, instead focusing on Scotland, England and Wales which is surprising considering the sheer number of adventure based activities in NI.
2) Some of the ideas are ill-advised and actually dangerous, hiking two miles from your home for example. Depending on where you live, you might not leave the city, and "bedding down" for the night is legitimately dangerous.
