Welcome to our Motorhome Adventures

We are Becky and Paul (and our Motorhome, Bertie). We have taken two years out to travel around Europe in our motorhome exploring and indulging our love of the outdoors by hiking, mountain biking, skiing and more.

Although our full time travel is now over we will be continuing to blog about our shorter trips in the motorhome. There may also be some more general musings along the way.

You can find out more about us here

What are we up to?

We have returned to Exmouth, the place we left in May 2017. We found ourselves jobs pretty quickly (it’s true that it’s not what you know but who you know) and have re-established roots. Our travelling life is not over, but is more conventional now we are employed again.

A great little bike ride today around the lanes and bridleways of Dorset. Setting off from #eastfleetfarmtouringpark, heading to #abbotsburyswannery and then up the steep lanes to the #hardymonument where we met an inspirational 80 year old cycling on his electric bike. Then some fun bone shaking off road along the chalk and flint of the #southdorsetridgeway, surrounded by prehistoric burial mounds. Finally to #theluggerinn for a cheeky beer. My legs haven’t complained so badly today #motorhomeadventures #mtb #cycling #greatoutdoors

Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely circular walk along the coast path south to Mevagissey, heading inland along the cycle path for the return. Today we cycled around the Clay Trails of St Austell. It’s been lovely to get away for a few days and everything at the campsite has been managed very well. We’re already looking forward to our next getaway #claytrails #mevagissey #pentewansands

I’m not much of a petrol head, but when a friend invited us to join him on a Land Rover trialling day we though why not. It was a new experience for us and great fun to watch. Paul got to navigate on a few sections but I was quite glad not to. It’s a slow event but some of the slopes are quite terrifying. #devonandcornwalllandroverclub #landrovertrials #differentdaysout

Trying to fit a quart into a pint pot as we squeeze our 3 bed family home’s furniture into our new flat. It’s hard to let go of some of the things we have lived with and loved, but we’re looking forward to living in a space that’s more suitable for a couple and of course it’s much bigger than the motorhome. #returntobricksandmortar #downsizing #upsizing

Bertie’s storage spot on the farm is looking a little overgrown. It’s the first time we’ve been for a visit since January but we were very happy to find Bertie in good shape despite the excess flora. Bertie’s lights were swapped for LEDs and other prep was done in hope of a little trip at the start of July - fingers crossed 🤞 #motorhomefun #motorhomestorage #lookingforwardtocamping #knaus

Getting the running legs going again.
While we were away in the motorhome I didn’t do much running, Paul doesn’t run so we kept fit by doing the things we enjoy doing together; mostly walking and cycling. And since starting work my motivation to run after a day at work and my cycle commute has been non existent.
But now we’re in lockdown and work involves sitting in a desk all day that is about 5 steps from my bedroom; I need the exercise.
A new pair of trainers and a few short runs ... finally I can feel my running mojo coming back, and where better to run than along the cliff tops with views of the sea and brilliant blue skies. #runningmojoisback #orcombepoint #lockdownrunning
