From time to time we get some great stories from members of the Rohan community. This one caught our eye and raised a smile. We hope you enjoy ‘Walking a lap of the M25 & Packrafting Across Scotland’ by Alastair Humphreys

” I have had two “microadventures” in the UK over January. During the “worst weather” for a generation two of us set off to walk a lap of the M25, the 120-mile motorway that encircles London. Sticking within the “audio corridor” of the road, walking through fields and small towns, hopping fences and camping in woods I was interested to find out whether it is possible to find adventure in 21st Century suburbia. The film material from this project is with a film production company at the moment. Check out the photo’s

After the M25 I travelled to remote northern Scotland for a training trip with a friend. The plan was simple: to travel from the west coast to the east coast, walking from the sea up to the watershed and then unpacking the1-man packraft boats we carried in our packs. We would then paddle down the River Spey to the coast. Recent freak temperatures of -22C made the paddling section quite interesting! Check out the short video from the trip”
