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.

Yesterday on the cycle path between Exmouth and Budleigh. Paul was taking a walk with a friend and I just happened to be jogging in the vicinity. By the time I got home it was time for cake - Nigella’s Chocolate Cake and Peanut Butter Icing. #budleighcycletrack #mistywalk #railwaybridge #nigellarecipe

Yesterday afternoon’s short hike took us 7 miles

Yesterday afternoon’s short hike took us 7 miles around pretty St Agnes where the coastline is spectacular, covered with heather, gorse and wildflowers.
This weekend the weather has been a bit of an obsession due to the less than perfect forecast but it didn’t rain on us and occasionally the sun came out.
I’m really happy with the quality of these #goprohero9 photos especially compared to my old phone.

We visited Woodbury common twice this weekend, for a walk and to continue exercising my cycling muscles. Getting back on the bike was easier this time although the cold temperatures left my fingers freezing on the downhill sections. #mtbtraining #mtb #woodburycommon #cycleride

An early morning walk around Meldon Reservoir. It was way too warm but so beautiful to see Dartmoor under blue skies for a change.

A walk along the banks of the beautiful Waters of Nevis. Although we had occasional glimpses of blue skies the cloud was mostly shrouding the hills so a valley walk was a good option. Lots more midges today, the little biting blighters!

Bertie is finally back out. We haven’t gone far, just a few miles up the road to #oakdowntouringandholidayhomepark - after a long winter in storage we’ve got lots of cleaning to do. Bertie may look white from a distance but there is plenty of algae and dust to be removed. We’ve also had mice nesting in a cupboard and leaving their little presents everywhere, so the inside has had a good scrub too. #finallycamping #motorhomelife #motorhomeadventures #motorhomecleaning #knaus

We can tell the weather is on the turn. The wind has started to blow from the south west and the clouds are gathering. Tomorrow we will be hoping the worst of the weather holds off until lunch time 🤞

It was a changeable day for our bike-hike-bike up Ben Lomond. We walked up the tourist route and down the Ptarmigan ridge. And we saw an actual Ptarmigan.

Today’s run went in the opposite direction to my usual route (which is way too muddy after yesterday’s downpour).
I went across town and tried out a short section of the #eastdevonway Way, recently reopened now that the coastal defences have been completed in the #exeestuary
It was a blustery morning and finished with a heavy shower that stung my face with vicious raindrops. However the weather wasn’t as bad as yesterday and all the kudos should go to @_.mrst._ and her virtual running buddies who were out fundraising yesterday.

Bertie is old and has some tired and patchy paintwork and sometimes I think it’s not worth the effort of cleaning, but every time we do it I’m impressed by how much better and brighter Bertie looks.
One day we’ll treat ourselves to a full exterior valet.
