For a relatively small and flat land mass, the UK has a surprising amount of adventure activities. In the past I’ve covered cultural adventures, urban adventures in London, and coasteering in Lulworth Cove.
Today the question that I’m addressing is not “What exciting activities are there to do?”, it’s “How can I relax and soothe my sore muscles at the end of the day?”

Patrick and I had picked up a fellow wanderluster at the Canadian boarder. Ha had translucent skin and was tall and skinnier than my pinky finger with long shaggy hair and a malt liquor habit. He’d ride a skateboard everywhere if he could, carries a pen and paper for his art, and is always waiting for a bone to heal, a cut to scab, or a bruise to lose its color. One of those guys that wears a wool hat in the summertime because he’s cold, not because he’s a hipster. His hands are always stained with ink because he can’t stop drawing charicatures. They’re crude, but really good.
Jaillan Yehia isn’t an adventure traveller. So what the hell is she doing on a double-zip line flying over the French Alps at 100km an hour?
All I can think about is the girl on the fairground ride whose hair got caught in the mechanism.
What makes an adventure travel family? Is it fearlessness? Is it drive and perseverance?
As I got older and had children I seemed to lose that drive in lieu of caring for babies and subsequently put on my responsibility cap! Boring, I know. Luckily after a couple of years I slowly realized that none of this exploring needed to end because I had kids.

Cristina and I were camping in Ithala National Park in South Africa when a couple invited us to share dinner around their campfire. Five minutes into the conversation the man turned to me and said, “I’m sailing to Antarctica with a couple friends and we need another man. Are you interested?”
Do you ever get fed up of sitting on the sidelines watching other people have fun? Me too, so when I notice that happening I tend to do something about it.

It’s the most overlooked destination in California.
Why?
Because it’s the a long and grueling drive from San Francisco or Portland International Airport.
