Enjoyed reading your blog, WestonFront. Forest of Bowland will receive a visit from me shortly after we are let loose.
Regarding 'microadventures' - yes, that really is how it feels to head up into the hills on my own with a tent on my back, even if it is only for one night. The full mountain experience. Better in some ways to have 7 one night trips than one 7 night trip (although both are worthwhile), as the microadventures are easier to fit in to everyday life, especially if you live near some decent country.
