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.

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

A change of sites today - now we’re at #lanesidecaravanpark for a few days. We had a quick walk up Win Hill before the heat was too much for us and we returned to chill out with Bertie #motorhomeadventures #hikinguk #peakdistrictnationalpark #winhill

It was a compromise bike ride today. Paul wanted to do a ride around the fells above Ladybower reservoir but I didn’t think I’d manage three big ascents so we started early from the campsite, did two ascents in the cool of the morning and then dropped down to follow the road and cycle path around the Derwent, Howden and Ladybower reservoirs. It was still challenging for me, particularly the ups and downs on the rocky bridleways, but we were surrounded by beautiful scenery all the way.

On our walk the other day we noticed a lot of sloes growing amongst the hedgerows. I love these tiny plums with their striking matt violet bloom and set off this morning to pick a box full. It’s time to make some sloe gin #eastfleet #foraging #sloegin

We decided to stretch our legs with a short bike ride after arriving at Hayfield so we followed the Sett Valley trail to New Mills and then had a little stroll along the river Goyt. #motorhomeadventures #settvalleytrail #goytvalley #cyclepaths #milleniumwalkway #newmills

It’s Exmouth again, and if the news reports are any indication then it’ll be Exmouth for at least the next month. The extremely wet and windy morning turned into a beautiful blustery blue sky afternoon. Kite surfers were out in force enjoying the conditions. #exmouth #exmouthseafront #kitesurfing

A morning stroll from #eastfleetfarmtouringpark to #Weymouth along the #southwestcoastpath. It’s been an unexpectedly sunny day after yesterday’s downpours. #motorhomelife #hikinguk #chesilbeach

Cycling from #eastfleetfarmtouringpark down to Portland Bill. It’s not very far but the steep climb to the top of Portland made my legs complain a lot. Luckily at the top I had the excuse of #toutquarrysculpturepark to stop and look around and rest my weary legs. #cycling #motorhomeadventures #motorhome

A great hike from #hayfieldcampsite, through #clutherrocks, scrambling up the last bit of Red Brook and seeing #kinderdownfall in reverse. It’s been such a long time since I last visited the #peakdistrict I had forgotten how lovely it is #motorhomeadventures #hikeuk #dayhike #peakdistrictwalks #kinderwalks

An amazing 5 hours on the water today, pootling around the rocks and caves and into deserted beaches (they don’t stay deserted for long at this time of year). We fished for mackerel (caught only one big enough to keep) and generally had a great time. Now I’m feeling slightly sun-addled and happy that the cloud is starting to cool things down #kayakfishing #kayaking #combemartin #watermouthcoveholidaypark #seaactivities
