Introducing Wired For Adventure Volume 21: Hiking Edition

For a lot of us, hiking is our first taste of adventure. A simple walk through the hills or mountains showed us all the things we could climb up, jump off, swim through and discover. In WFA 21, we’re taking you back to this first love with the best hiking stories, trails, and guides for your 2024. We also speak to people who have taken this love to the extreme, from desert explorer Max Calderan to Wim Hof, who has run ice marathons bare foot in his shorts.

Lace up your boots and let WFA transport you to the hills.

What’s inside the latest volume of Wired for Adventure?

This volume of Wired For Adventure is all about hiking. From running across Tajikistan to discovering Cornwall in its off season, you’ll find the perfect inspiration for your next on-foot adventure. There are interviews, destination guides, travel stories, and gear roundups to whet your appetite and lace your boots.

Inside, we spoke to the legendary Wim Hof, ‘The Iceman’, about how his breathing and cold exposure techniques have enhanced his adventures. He told us how he overcomes his limitations, the first steps to realising your inner power, and how he feels inferior to turtles… We also spoke to Max Calderan, AKA the Son of the Desert, who is one of the only people to see the inner reaches of The Empty Quarter, the world’s greatest sand mass.

In this thrilling account, he talks about how he faced off with a hyena, got caught up in the Rub ‘al Khali’s biggest sandstorm, and how experiencing the raw power of the desert will change your life forever.
