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.

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.

Bertie’s storage spot on the farm is looking a little overgrown. It’s the first time we’ve been for a visit since January but we were very happy to find Bertie in good shape despite the excess flora. Bertie’s lights were swapped for LEDs and other prep was done in hope of a little trip at the start of July - fingers crossed 🤞 #motorhomefun #motorhomestorage #lookingforwardtocamping #knaus

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

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

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

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.

We made the most of the sunshine and ensured we wouldn’t see the new year in with a mountain biking (and pushing and carrying) route through Staveley up Longsleddale, over the top and back down via Kentmere. Amazing and knackering. Happy New Year everyone 😊 #mountainbike #lakedistrictmtb #lakedistrict #motorhomelife #campingandcaravanningclub

A great little bike ride today around the lanes and bridleways of Dorset. Setting off from #eastfleetfarmtouringpark, heading to #abbotsburyswannery and then up the steep lanes to the #hardymonument where we met an inspirational 80 year old cycling on his electric bike. Then some fun bone shaking off road along the chalk and flint of the #southdorsetridgeway, surrounded by prehistoric burial mounds. Finally to #theluggerinn for a cheeky beer. My legs haven’t complained so badly today #motorhomeadventures #mtb #cycling #greatoutdoors

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.
