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.

Happy New Year to everyone. This is a selection of photos from Exmouth. It felt fitting to share pictures of the place I have spent most of my time this year and walked, run and cycled most of my miles. Living so close to the sea and some beautiful countryside has been a real boon during this odd year, and has kept me sane, for which Paul is very grateful. Thanks #exmouth #hny.

The weather was slightly better today, so it was time for a little mountain bike tour. Up through the forestry tracks of Nevis Forest, then following the single track of the WHW to the Old Military Road and following that back to the Cow Hill circuit that took us back to the campsite. It was hard work but good fun and we did see some patches of blue sky.

A day out in Polruan for me, while Paul worked (which was why we were there in the first place). A nice stroll through the village. Then a jog along the banks of the Fowey, across to Lanteglos church (where the door was either locked or too stubbornly shut for me to open) and thence to Lantic Bay for a swim before a gentle jog back to Polruan again. This area of Cornwall between St Austell and Looe is a maze of narrow roads serving quiet hamlets, farms and cliff enclosed bays. It requires careful planning in a motorhome but I’m glad to say we made it in one piece.

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 🤞

Who doesn’t love a steam train? Today we took the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Pickering to Whitby and back. It’s a fabulous journey across the moors. We took the less busy early service which gave us loads of room to look in both directions out of the windows as the train wound it’s way along the river valley. From our campsite at the Black Bull just south of Pickering it was a simple bus journey into Pickering where the service starts. #nymr #northyorkmoors #northyorkshiremoorsrailway #blackbullcaravanpark #motorhomelife #motorhomeadventures #motorhomeuk #steamtrains

It’s looking very summery today in Exmouth even though the breeze is bringing the temperature down. If you look carefully you can see the white sails of boats on the horizon and the whites of cricketers on the green. #summerscenes #exmouth #blueskiesandsunshine

Today the wind was whipping up the sea into a foamy mass. Paul made friends with some inquisitive bullocks and our neighbour’s toilet tent slowly started to dismantle itself before we helped it on its way to avoid it blowing into the aforementioned bullocks. It’s been a bit windy to say the least.

Yesterday’s sunny walk on Woodbury Common. It made a change to see the sunshine although the squelchy mud underfoot made it tough going. #lockdownwalks #woodburycommon #sunnydays

The weather has really closed in here in Glen Nevis. We toyed with moving on, but decided to stick it out for a couple more days with fingers crossed for a good enough day for some mountain bike action tomorrow. In the mean time a short walk up to Dun Deardail to catch the views while they still existed. The clouds are now down round our ears and no views to be had.

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
