We all have them: big, grand, near-impossibe, but very, very cool, dirty dreams. We lay awake at night conjuring up visions of single track sojourns in exotic places, we scan maps endlessly, looking for little dotted lines that show there’s trail for the running, and then we start planning: how can we Make It Happen?

Well, The North Face Australia may just be your single track sugar daddy.

The North Face is now accepting applications for The North Face Adventure Grant 2015, presented by AG Outdoor. The closing date for applications is 31 December 2014.
