When I Google myself (come on, we've all done it!) my website alastairhumphreys.com is represented by this incredibly grumpy photo of myself. I've been rummaging inside Wordpress though and I cannot find the correct place to change it anywhere?! Please can someone help! Thank you

Last week I was mulling over the problems that irk me, and resolving to be more focussed on offering solutions for them, rather than just despairing.
Since then, I’ve gone full-on Beautiful Mind movie, and been brainstorming how everything is so interconnected. buff.ly/3XjAp8G

My new toy!
I'm excited to test this out, to slow myself down and pay more attention.
Do you have any tips for me? Film to use / where to buy it / development recommendations / user tips... etc. etc.!
Thank you!

Feeling overwhelmed by the world’s problems? Try the Big Five method:
List every issue that keeps you up at night.
Pick five you care about and can influence.
Identify fun, effective solutions.
Focus on those. Ignore the rest.
Get cracking.

An excellent manifesto from my young friend, Alice.
I think we can all get behind her campaign!
✅ Turn off lights when not in room.
✅ No more petrol cars.
❌ No rubbish on the floor, but...
✅ Rubbish in the recycling bag.
✅ Recycle.
✅ Do more exercise.
✅ Stop climate change.

Local was released a year ago this week. I'm delighted to see it's still doing well.
If you haven't read it, please would consider giving it a try in 2025?
Even better idea: buy your local Ordnance Survey map and go search for some nearby nature and wildness this year...

I've paid much more attention to microadventures than Grand Adventures in recent years. But I just had to re-read this old book of mine for a podcast interview, and I have to say I was very surprised: it's really good! 😂
