Single night hiking on new trails

By Leave a Comment

I knew that one of the national parks had established some new trails that I had not yet had the chance to go visit.

So when the rest of the family declared the house a female zone (girlfriend, two daughters + my girlfriend’s friend and her two daughters) that weekend. I was off to hike some trails.

Some trails was new to me and some was well known.

The rain was well known as well ๐Ÿ˜‰ But the second day I got to see the sun most of the time.

Being solo, I get to set the pace myself.

Sometimes I was moving fast.

Sometimes I was shocked by the beauty of the landscape and was just standing there watching the scenery.

I truly enjoy solo hiking and biking once in a while. And last month I went bikepacking with a friend, som this month I was off to enjoy my own company.

This type of outdoor adventure could qualify as a Microadventure as you could

  • Explore new trails
  • Get out there when the weather is very windy and rainy
  • You have not planned where to sleep
  • You start hiking in daylight and keep going after dark

Hot chocolate, a spy and a stick

By Leave a Comment

For the kids, a microadventure does not have to invole a whole lot of preparations.

What I have learned is, that the tough part is to get from inside the house to the outside of the house.

The rest will take care of itself.

One thing that is very nice to have, that is some kind of snack for the kids. To keep them going out there or to even persuade them that your idea of a trip to the local forest, beach or field is a good idea.

On this occasion, we used the bikes to get to the local forest. And I brought one familiar object, the hot chocolate. We played with another familiar object; a stick or two from the bottom of the forest.

And the adventure part of this trip was a small child-friendly binocular, with which the kids had a great time spying on some animals.

Adventure on the terrace

By Leave a Comment

My wife went to the movies with her sisters.

I felt inspired by the tents at Knuthenborg tent expo and hurried to set the tent on the terrace for me and my 3 and 7 yo girls.

Fire up the gas barbeque and light a fire for a microadventure just outside our door.

It brings down the planning to a minimum and the girls love a change of pace <3
