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.

Our round of the Edale skyline was cut a little short today when Paul twisted his knee. But even so we managed an ascent of Grindsbrook Clough and a circuit of the ridgeline to Mam Tor before cutting down Winnats Pass to Catsleton and getting the bus back to the campsite. Another beautiful day with some great far reaching views that were a little too hazy to make great photos

There are some places that always feel like home. A bike ride over Woodbury Common, taking in Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton sea front reminded us how much we love East Devon. #mountianbike #homeiswhereyouparkit #motorhomelife #eastdevon

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

A little dip in the sea today now that we’re having a British summer. I forgot to bring my sandals so my feet got a little sore walking across the pebbly beach. #seaswimming #seaside #pebbles #uksummer #motorhomelife

After the storm...Dennis has wreaked havoc across many parts of the country this weekend and we have been lucky enough to be able to hide away indoors for most of it. But late this afternoon we had some sun and managed to get out to see the impacts on our Old Red Sandstone cliffs. #exmouth #oldredsandstone #stormdennis #unstablecliffs #dangeroffallingrocks

We’ve been looking back at our travels in 2017. This was our foray up the Afon Mawddach from Barmouth. The picture was taken at low tide as we tried to navigate the maze of shallow channels back to our parking spot at Fairbourne Point.

I’ve spent a lot of time recently looking at insta and feeling envious of other people’s adventures in the mountains. But this morning I remembered how amazing it is to live where I live and be able to enjoy views like this every day. #britishseaside #exmouth #orcambepoint #geoneedle #jurassiccoast #running

Way back to the very beginning. Wales was the first country we visited. The National Botanic Garden very nearly allowed us to stay the night in their car park, but in the end we moved on up the road. #wales #gardensofwales #motorhomelife #homeiswhereyouparkit #homeonwheels

Our second day at #watermouthcoveholidaypark was spent coasteering and kayaking and catching mackerel for our dinner. No photos of the mad jumping off cliffs action available yet so instead here’s a lovely tranquil sunset at high tide over the harbour. #watermouthcove #motorhomeadventures #weekendsaway #activeweekends
