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.

A beautiful bright morning for a 10 mile round trip, along the SW Coast Path from Westonmouth to Branscombe (a well trodden route that we have done many times) and then exploring inland up and down the nooks, crannies and combes of East Devon. Then lots more cleaning and my COVID jab to round off the day. #swcoastpath #coastpathwalking #motorhomeadventures #walkinguk #hikinguk

Yesterday morning we had a 10k paddle round the Loch. Circling the island of Inchlonaig and then finding a perfect beach to stop for a hot drink before following the lake edge back to #cashelcampsite.
It’s so much easier to paddle here than it is on the sea.

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.

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

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

A stroll along the strand at Lympstone. It’s been a great week off work, despite the weather. Back to the (home) office next week. #lockdownwalks #exeestuarytrail

I am ashamed to admit it’s been a long 8 months since I was last out on the bike. But the possibility of getting out and about in the motorhome and the potential midsummer return to the office has prompted me to get back on the saddle. I need to get my buttocks in training to cope with my cycle commute AND look forward to some serous mountain biking. So today was 30k around the lanes of East Devon followed by ‘dodge the pedestrian’ along the extremely busy sea front of Exmouth. #mtbtraining #cyclepath #exeestuarytrail #exmouthseafront

Yesterday we were spoiled with beautiful weather, high cloud and views of Ben Nevis and other distant peaks as we walked up Stob Ban and completed the ridge to Mullach Nan Coirean.

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 final walk today took us inland through fields of cauliflowers to the extremely pretty St Mawgan before dropping through the valley to the beach and back along the coastpath. Now we’re back at Bertie ready to batten down the hatches before tomorrow’s weather.
