THE MICROADVENTURE CHALLENGE

Al is now running his third annual Summer Solstice Microadventure Challenge, here’s how you can get involved:

Step 1. Get inspired—check out the ideas, stories and resources below, then choose your own microadventure!

Step 2. Grab a map. Close Your Eyes. Point. Go—Be as creative as you can, the only unofficial ‘rule’ is that your microadventure should entail sleeping out in the wild for at least one night (tents are cheating).

Step 3. Document your microadventure—take photographs at every opportunity, keep a journal and share your story on Maptia. If you already have a Maptia profile then just contribute your story in the usual manner—if not then send us an email to microadventures@maptia.com to skip the queue and receive a Maptia invite asap!

Step 4. Win awesome prizes—share your microadventure story mentioning @Maptia @Al_Humphreys and #microadventure on Twitter and we’ll pass it on to Al who is also offering some excellent prizes from Mountain Equipment, Osprey,Kammok and Harper Collins. And as a final bonus—to get a free waterproof ordinance survey map tweet this to @Myminimap here!

The top three microadventure stories told on Maptia (chosen by us) will also be featured both on our homepage and the winning microadventurers will also receive copies of Al’s new microadventure book and the three runners up will receive digital interactive copies of the book.
