Introducing Wired For Adventure Issue 174

In this issue of Wired For Adventure, we’ve been on a mission to find the best things that you can go and do – right now. From quick adventures across Europe (fancy telling your colleagues on a Monday morning that you’ve just climbed Mount Olympus on the weekend?) to the greatest trekking peaks that give all the satisfaction of mountaineering without the technical barriers, this issue is all about adventures that anyone can experience.

We also hear from people out there doing it. Katie Keeley recounts the remarkable tale of her successful climb of Chile’s El Monstruo, Graeme Green battles the weather as he cycles Scotland’s Hebridean Way, and Anna Smith heads to Tanzania to discover how some incredible women are reshaping the tourism industry there. We’ve been busy ourselves, exploring the best of the Bannau Brycheiniog / Brecon Beacons National Park and heading to Canada in the depths of winter to discover what’s on offer for those willing to brave the cold.

Plus, we sit down with acclaimed photographer Cristina Mittermeier to talk about conservation and why it’s so important to protect our planet and all things living, and ultra runner and gun athlete Steph Knapman shares her greatest trials and triumphs. We also learn the incredible story of Aleksander Doba, who kayaked across the Atlantic solo three times, in his sixties, proving that age truly is no barrier.

There’s plenty of practical information to sink your teeth into as well, with guides to climbing the world’s greatest peaks that require no ropes or harnesses to summit, such as Kilimanjaro, Toubkal, and Mera, and we review 16 pairs of hiking boots to the test to find out which ones are right for you.

Enjoy the mag.
