Quick Hit'The mountains hold the memory of our ancestors’ steps. Everything is linked, remember to listen.’ - Cat Vinton DescriptionFrom Sidetracked - “If a dream is easy to achieve, is it even worth trying? A dream should be just on the cusp of what is possible.’ —Tim Howell Adventure is about making choices. Where is the line between survival and disaster? When should we walk away? How can we include rather than exclude? And what marks will we leave behind? In this volume of Sidetracked, we present a collection of stories exploring the difficult questions in adventure. In ‘A Complicated Romance’, Sophy Roberts describes her conflicted relationship with Lake Tanganyika, once viewed by European explorers as a blank on the map. Tim Howell’s choices are some of the most difficult of all as he builds towards his goal of completing the highest wingsuit jump in the world. And Joanna Croston tells the story of Alison Hargreaves, the British mountaineer who changed the narrative on women in adventure. ‘Adventure isn’t about escaping responsibility,’ Sam Rice writes. ‘It’s about choosing which responsibilities we’re willing to carry.” FeaturesRelease Date: October 22, 2025 Pages: 144 Pages Paper: FSC Approved Uncoated 120gsm Paper Written ByChad
