Rob: Hello I'm Rob and welcome to 6 Minute English -

topic and authentic listening practice...

Neil: ...and don't forget vocabulary to help you

improve your language skills. I'm Neil by the way

but if you have wanderlust - a strong desire to travel -

because you love to travel - haven't you circumnavigated

the globe - I mean go all the way round the world?

Rob: Almost Neil - but today's mini-adventure

doesn't involve travelling too far from home.

but not before we've set today's quiz question.

So Neil do you know how far it is around the world

measured at the equator - in other worlds

the circumference? It is approximately...

a) 30,000 km, b) 40,000 km, or c) 50,000 km

Neil: Well, I haven't walked it but I know

it's a long way - so I'll go for c) 50,000 km.

Rob: Right, I shall keep you in suspense and tell you

Now, our topic for discussion today won't be travelling

so far - it's about a new trend for small adventures.

Neil: What you mean are shorter breaks, closer to home.

that's the feeling of doing a new, exciting and

Rob: Well, adventurer, Alastair Humphreys

to describe this. 'To coin' here means to use a word

Neil: Now he's someone who goes on big trips

and expeditions to the four corners of the globe

you don't have to go far to find adventure.

speaking on BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme

How did he describe his first microadventure?

Alastair Humphreys: I'd been doing big adventures

you didn't need to go to the ends of the world

You didn't nee to be in beautiful Patagonia to have this

spirit of adventure. So I decided to try and prove

my theory by doing the most boring, ugly adventure

I could think of. And I came up with the idea

in January. And time and again as I walked round

this experience is exactly the same as the four

Smaller, of course, a bit silly but definetely felt like

an adventure And that's when I really started to come up

but it is an adventure. He walked around the London

orbital motorway - called the M25 - to prove his hunch

that you don't need to go far to to find adventure.

A hunch is an idea you have based on feelings

Rob: It doesn't have to be Neil. Just getting out

on your bike and exploring somewhere in your locality

that you haven't visited before is an adventure.

that's a phrasal verb to mean sleep outside in a tent.

for a camping adventure - and being out a night

That's what Alastair Humphreys believes...

Alastair Humphreys: We humans are so boring

and to see how the world feels different by night.

I get a little bit nervous still - I still imagine ghosts -

but that's part of the charm of making a little frisson

of adventure. And then in the morning the sun

comes up, the birds sing, jump in a river,

back on the bus, back to your desk for 9.00.

Rob: Seeing how the world feels at night is a nice idea.

maybe - is part of the pleasure or enjoyment -

Neil: I agree - and he used another word 'frisson'

meaning a sudden, strong feeling of excitement, or fear.

Rob: My biggest fear would be returning to my desk
