Photo @Osprey Packs BEHIND THE COVER Welcome to <strong>Adventure</strong> Media, where our passion for adventure is captured in every image we share. While we take pride in many aspects of our work, one aspect is always top of our list, our images. These snapshots are not just photographs; they are the first "Wow!" that you encounter, setting the stage for the narratives we weave, in the magazine and online. In this issue, dedicated to tramping and hiking, we are always faced a unique challenge. Capturing the essence of an activity often pursued in solitude and isolation. The heartbeat of any magazine is the cover. It's a portal into the world we want to share with you, a tantalizing hint of the adventures awaiting within. Does it tell a story? Does it resonate with the theme of the entire publication? Does it have that elusive "Wow!" factor? These are the questions that we need to answer. This October, we found ourselves facing this challenge once more, but fate had a surprise in store. The cover image that graces this issue arrived unexpectedly, courtesy of one of our regular advertisers, Osprey. Osprey, renowned worldwide for their outstanding backpacks, generously shared a range of images. One, in particular, stood out. So why did we select this image? The vibrant colours that jump off the page are bright and clear, featuring a man and a woman, embarking on an adventure, inviting us to join their story. In essence, it's the perfect cover shot, encapsulating what this issue is about.
