I want to go to there.
Wears out your skates so much faster than going to a rink, but skating under the stars at night is one of my favorite experiences. I grew up on a farm with 8 acres, probably 3 of which were ponds. We used to play shinny through winter and at night we’d lay on our backs and count shooting stars.
Canada is the bombdiggity.

National Geographic, January 1981
Alastair Humphreys
The 34-year-old Brit has ridden his bike 46,000 miles around the world, crossed Iceland’s rugged glacial highlands on foot, and set his sights on the longest unsupported journey to the South Pole. But in 2011, Humphreys never left his native U.K. He barely even left the county.
Instead he embarked on a year of microadventures—small, local trips that began and ended at his doorstep. He hiked Britain’s most reviled stretch of road, the M25, a clogged transit artery that circles London through the swelling suburbs. He swam the Thames, used public transport to get out of the city and sleep out underneath the stars, and spent four days living off the land. Advanced Base Camp was his home in London’s suburbs.
“Each trip ticked all the boxes of adventure. It was cold. It was physically challenging. I talked to people I wouldn’t have otherwise met,” says Humphreys. What he learned was clear—we find adventure by stepping outside of our day-to-day norms.
