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.

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

Right now we wish we were back in the snow, but no winter trip for us this year. Instead we’re planning a trip back to the Dolomites in September so that we can do some snow free hiking and Via Ferrata. Does anyone have any recommendations? #italy🇮🇹 #dolomites #snowshoeing #viaferrata #motorhomeadventures

After the storm...Dennis has wreaked havoc across many parts of the country this weekend and we have been lucky enough to be able to hide away indoors for most of it. But late this afternoon we had some sun and managed to get out to see the impacts on our Old Red Sandstone cliffs. #exmouth #oldredsandstone #stormdennis #unstablecliffs #dangeroffallingrocks

A change of sites today - now we’re at #lanesidecaravanpark for a few days. We had a quick walk up Win Hill before the heat was too much for us and we returned to chill out with Bertie #motorhomeadventures #hikinguk #peakdistrictnationalpark #winhill

On our way for a short break in the next county over. It’s an exciting moment but I can also understand the anxiety of those people who live in tourist destinations. Our own home town can more than double it’s population in the summer season. Our slightly complacent attitudes from living in a low COVID-19 area are going to have to change back to our earlier rigour. Lots of hand washing ahead!

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

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
