Ripcord Adventure Journal 1.4
After only four issues we appear to have been exiled voluntarily to beautiful Siberia, a region as vast as it is geographically diverse; from the pen of the first woman to cycle across the "new" Russia we travel the old stock route across Australia, from well to well and from story to story broadening our understanding of this island continent. The drive to explore, the reason to adventure is discussed before taking us underground to the vaulted caverns and flooded passages of the deepest cave system in the Americas to emerge suddenly back in to the full light of an Andean stratovolcano summit, the nearest point to space on earth that two companions can reach, until finally, the long road that this issue takes, brings us to the last place in Yemen. We aim to be the home of authentic, adventurous travel, which serves as a starting point for personal reflection, study and new journeys.
