General Discussion / What really is Adventure?
« on: August 10, 2004, 03:51:37 am »
My working definition of "Adventure" comes from the man
himself, Willie Wier. From his Nov/Dec 2000 column in
Adventure Cyclist magazine: "Adventures are many, many
things... but they are never planned. Trips are planned.
Adventure is what happens when the plan takes a detour." (see the article)
Add to that this footnote: "...attitude is the difference between
an ordeal and an adventure", from Lisa Fronc of Bare Naked
Bikers.
So for me, adventure is postive experience caused by a
deviation from the expected to the unexpected.
