Sidetracked, Volume 37

Sidetracked is a printed and online journal featuring a limited collection of personal stories of travel, journeys and expeditions. The concept is simple: to capture the emotion and experience of adventures and expeditions throughout the world… and to inspire.

In this issue:

Sidetracked Volume 37 brings together a new collection of stories from creative adventurers who understand what it takes to commit, but who also appreciate the little things. As Matt Sharman writes: ‘I slowed it down, and the experience was deeper for it.’

Volume 37 includes accounts of ambitious expeditions, such as Alberto Ojembarrena’s foray into the depths of Baffin Island, or Sergi Ricart’s traverse of the Andes. We explore Cat Vinton’s deep immersion into nomadic cultures, while Armelle Martignoni uses documentary photography to campaign for a gentler world. Artist and geologist Phoebe Sleath feels the boundaries between self and universe loosen, and Peter Mather’s quest to spot the elusive wolverine brings him close to nature’s ferocity as well as its beauty.

The outcome of an adventure is always uncertain, but perhaps the best trips aren’t really about the outcome anyway.
