Like it Charley. Good read and it resounds with my own microadventure experience in France. It was awesome, but irrational fear is a strange thing! Have a wee read:

Thank you , Robin. There certainly is something sublime about the experience. The mountains truly are humbling and awe-inspiring!

Thanks for the link to this from LFTO Charley, a lovely written blog.

I was reminded when you wrote about your fear about one of my first solo wild camps when I took my ipod and listened to some classical music by Mahler and was terrified by the end of the dramatic 1st movement!

When the Victorians (I think) first started exploring the outdoors and eventually the Alps they talked about the ‘sublime’ – this experience of deliberately putting yourself in big scary places, with stories of ladies fainting when they saw their first glacier.

I love this – I don’t faint anymore (even when sporkless) but I am humbled and awed by the fear and wonder you write about.
