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.

Two people travelling around Europe in our motorhome, hiking, mountain biking and more.

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

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

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

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

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 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

Bertie is finally back out. We haven’t gone far, just a few miles up the road to #oakdowntouringandholidayhomepark - after a long winter in storage we’ve got lots of cleaning to do. Bertie may look white from a distance but there is plenty of algae and dust to be removed. We’ve also had mice nesting in a cupboard and leaving their little presents everywhere, so the inside has had a good scrub too. #finallycamping #motorhomelife #motorhomeadventures #motorhomecleaning #knaus

Today’s run went in the opposite direction to my usual route (which is way too muddy after yesterday’s downpour).
I went across town and tried out a short section of the #eastdevonway Way, recently reopened now that the coastal defences have been completed in the #exeestuary
It was a blustery morning and finished with a heavy shower that stung my face with vicious raindrops. However the weather wasn’t as bad as yesterday and all the kudos should go to @_.mrst._ and her virtual running buddies who were out fundraising yesterday.

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
