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.

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.

I’ve spent a lot of time recently looking at insta and feeling envious of other people’s adventures in the mountains. But this morning I remembered how amazing it is to live where I live and be able to enjoy views like this every day. #britishseaside #exmouth #orcambepoint #geoneedle #jurassiccoast #running

Our second day at #watermouthcoveholidaypark was spent coasteering and kayaking and catching mackerel for our dinner. No photos of the mad jumping off cliffs action available yet so instead here’s a lovely tranquil sunset at high tide over the harbour. #watermouthcove #motorhomeadventures #weekendsaway #activeweekends

Two common features of our longer rides. At some point the bike is usually upside down. Today it was because I managed to catch and twist my chain coming down over a very rocky section. It took quite a lot of effort to twist it back into a relatively straight line. We rewarded ourselves with a Pint at the #ladybowerinn

Getting the running legs going again.
While we were away in the motorhome I didn’t do much running, Paul doesn’t run so we kept fit by doing the things we enjoy doing together; mostly walking and cycling. And since starting work my motivation to run after a day at work and my cycle commute has been non existent.
But now we’re in lockdown and work involves sitting in a desk all day that is about 5 steps from my bedroom; I need the exercise.
A new pair of trainers and a few short runs ... finally I can feel my running mojo coming back, and where better to run than along the cliff tops with views of the sea and brilliant blue skies. #runningmojoisback #orcombepoint #lockdownrunning

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

We had some time to kill between campsites today so we took advantage of our #NationalTrust membership to park for free at #longshawestate. From the car park we could walk up #burbageedge to #upperburbagebridge and then back via the Iron Age #carlwarkfort. Paul’s knee just about managed it although he’s now resting it ready for tomorrow’s bike ride. #motorhomeadventures #motorhomelife #peakdistrictnationalpark #peakdistrictwalks
