What they say: Adventure. Exploration. Discovery.
Adventure is inspiration. Adventure takes us somewhere special, somewhere we will treasure much later on, long after the journey home has ended. Yet sometimes, what we set out for, the risks we take, don’t turn out quite as we’d hoped, but in those moments we discover who we really are. Rarely do we learn as much from success as we do from failure or loss. The unexpected should be expected and how we react to unforeseen events, to a shifting landscape, shapes our journey.
This issue of Sidetracked is emotionally charged and powerful. The adventures within are as inspiring and breathtaking as any we have featured, but there are stories that viscerally touch our psyches. Krystle Wright battles the loss of Mario Richard to capture the perfect image in the Moab Desert – to honour and pay tribute to her friend. Caroline Gleich skis the Cordillera Blanca in Peru, overcoming fear and tragic loss, to remember what makes climbing and skiing big mountains special to her and to recapture that spirit.
There’s much more, of course, in this poignant and touching issue. But that’s to be expected.
What we say: While every issue is a joy for us to read, this one is a little bit more special for us. Having personally adventured to Ecuador earlier this year, we were brought back there by the first article is this issue: Páramo. In it, Cass Gibert recounts his time cycling through a mountainous region of Ecuador that we ourselves had the pleasure to pedal through, and as great literature tends to do, it magically transported us back in time. Of course the rest of the issue is just as fabulous (and powerful)!
