Set the May microadventure challenge

Better late than never! People who have signed up/been press-ganged to this challenge have already had an email about the microadventure theme for May, but it's about time it went up online, too. (If you want to get the early scoop on these things, get in touch and I can add your email to the list.)

Lunchtime microadventures

This month’s challenge (chosen by me!) is to go on a lunchtime microadventure. A few suggestions:

• Get to the top of the tallest hill or building in your city
  
• Stroll through a park, garden or woodland and observe the seasons
  
• Join a class/taster session for an activity that’s outside your comfort zone (sport, art, singing, yoga)
  
• Meet some friends for a potluck picnic
• Explore the streets, galleries, laneways or buildings near your workplace
  
• Cook and/or eat something new to you
  
• Go to a fun fair and ride a ferris wheel or rollercoaster
• Undertake a distance challenge - see how far you can ride/run in your lunch break
  
• Hop on the bus or train and find a new place for lunch
  

Swim in the sea, go rockclimbing, roll down a hill, go busking, try your feet at Dance Dance Revolution, do a tour - something outside of your everyday routine. Whatever it is, try to do it in your lunch break (if you have a set schedule) or at lunch time (if you don’t or if it’s the weekend). You can go solo, meet a friend or strongarm a colleague into joining you. Good luck, have fun and remember to snap a pic to share!
