Inspired by Alastair Humphreys idea about Micro Adventures, I suddenly thought if we can have adventures on our doorsteps, so can our children, and Mini Adventures was born! With guidance from adults and a little imagination these adventures should not only give them great life skills, but also be loads of fun!!

When I was a kid in the eighties, we could be out climbing trees and building dens all day long. It’s a very different story for many kids these days who spend their time playing on computers all day. Well rant over ha ha, but kids these days don’t explore trees as much as they used to, and although there is some risk to climbing trees, under parental supervision it can be great fun!

A list of mini adventures to get your kids in touch with the outdoors.

Mountainboarding is one of the fastest growing sports. 2009 World Mountain Board Freestyle Champion Tom Kirkman gives us the lowdown on the different styles.

We ask highly respected Russian climber and high altitude mountaineering guide Sergei Baranov ten questions about the sport he loves!
