When last did you experience adventure?

Here's an interesting definition of adventure by Colin Mortlock- apologies to the girls for all the "he's"-it applies to every human out there!

"This is the stage beyond, and often just beyond, the skills learning stage. The person has sudden fear of physical harm and no longer feels complete master of the situation. He feels, however, that he can, with considerable effort on his part, and given luck, overcome the situation without accident.

He accepts that his skills are about to be tested. He is conscious of a definite degree of uncertainty as to the outcome, and feels, as it were, poised on a knife edge between success and failure. I he succeeds, he has experienced adventure.

He has found himself in a situation which becomes firmly etched upon his mind -perhaps forever. He has feelings of satisfaction, if not elation, about the result. The degree of satisfaction and pride is proportional to the scale and intensity of the adventure."


Join us on one of our adventures at iRide Africa. It's not all fear and adrenalin but it'll certainly get you elated and satisfied!
