Our first stop in Dartmoor National Park was a hike to Black Tor and the Meldon Reservoir. The weather was very iffy and it didn’t take long for the rain to catch up with us. We hid under some trees but the rain was so heavy we were hardly getting any protection. We decided that…

Turquoise clay lakes and tropical sand banks | Cornwall
While taking a birds eye flight across England, with the help from google earth, I discovered an area in the Cornish countryside that had turquoise lakes. They looked just like milky blue glacial fed lakes but I knew that was impossible so I did some research. It turns out they were clay mines and the…
Basking seals and thatched houses | Roseland, Cornwall
We decided to explore Roseland, a lesser visited region in southern Cornwall and to get there we took a chain-ferry across a river estuary. A sign had the different prices: car or van £7 campervan or motorhome £10. Helga is actually very tiny compared to the big Mercedes sprinter vans that everyone seems to be…
Kynance Cove and the Lizard Peninsular | Cornwall
We didn’t know much about the Lizard Peninsular, although I think that’s the case for most places we’re visiting in England as we are yet to buy a guide book. All I knew was it was home to Kynance Cove which is said to be one of Cornwalls most beautiful beaches. The bottom of the…
Lands End and St Michael’s Mount | Cornwall
Lands End marks Britain’s most south westerly point, a claim to fame that seems a little ridiculous really as it’s not the most westerly or southern point, it’s just making up its own rules. But alas it’s become a very popular landmark and people like to cycle the route from John O’ Groats in Scotland…
Exploring the northern coast of Cornwall
The sea was still rough and covered in white caps from the storm so we headed south to Newquay to do some chores like laundry and fill up our gas. I was surprised how basic the town was, it just looked like a normal British high street with the usual tacky shops. I guess I…
Exploring Cornwall’s Best Beaches
A nasty storm was due to hit the whole south west of England but we had two days of glorious sun before it arrived so we headed for the coast. We made an early start as it was bank holiday weekend and we wanted to try and find a free parking space. We headed towards…
Sunsets, Snakes and Wild Horses | Bodmin Moor and Tintagel
We crossed into Cornwall for our first time and did a few chores in Bude which took forever because so many people wanted to compliment Helga. It’s like having a bloody Lamborghini with how much attention she gets. First a young couple pulled over to ask questions about her, then an old chap came for…
