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 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

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

A great hike from #hayfieldcampsite, through #clutherrocks, scrambling up the last bit of Red Brook and seeing #kinderdownfall in reverse. It’s been such a long time since I last visited the #peakdistrict I had forgotten how lovely it is #motorhomeadventures #hikeuk #dayhike #peakdistrictwalks #kinderwalks

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.

We decided to stretch our legs with a short bike ride after arriving at Hayfield so we followed the Sett Valley trail to New Mills and then had a little stroll along the river Goyt. #motorhomeadventures #settvalleytrail #goytvalley #cyclepaths #milleniumwalkway #newmills

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

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

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.

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 may not be in the motorhome right now but that doesn’t mean we miss out on our favourite motorhome meal(well one of them). Sushi rolls with crab, tuna and salmon. 😋 #sushimaking #exmouthfishshop #fishonthequay
