In December I posted a story called Epic, the idea at the time was to show how easy it really is to have an adventure. You don't need lots of money or travel all that far from home, hell you can have one in your own backward! Yesterday as I was working (yes WORKING) I accidentally stumbled on this website(
http://www.alastairhumphreys.com/). At first I didn't think much about it until I clicked on the microadventure tab. That's it! Microadventures, that's what you call it! He has a lot more "microadventure" ideas on his site; many you can try out until you can graduate to the macro one.
ps: Taken from my blog, just thought I would share...
