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 empty pitch. It feels like the end of an era now we are no longer full timing in our motorhome. This weekend we did a deep clean and drove Bertie up to storage. Thanks to Terry and Georgie at @execaravanningandcamping who have been very accommodating while we waited to move into our flat, we won’t miss the mud though.

Right now we wish we were back in the snow, but no winter trip for us this year. Instead we’re planning a trip back to the Dolomites in September so that we can do some snow free hiking and Via Ferrata. Does anyone have any recommendations? #italy🇮🇹 #dolomites #snowshoeing #viaferrata #motorhomeadventures

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

Bertie is pitched up somewhere in the further campsite on this photo. We’re here at #watermouthcove for a spot of kayaking. The campsite has access to easy launching from a directly accessible inlet and water activities are very popular although the campsite aren’t doing their own hire due to #covid19. #motorhomeadventures #kayaking #kayakfishing #northdevon

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

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.

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
