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…
Exploring North Devon | England
Once we exited Exmoor we continued along the coast and headed for a beach I wanted to visit. We prefer to try and find free parking and just walk a little further, so that’s exactly what we did – parking up in the quaint village of Berrynarbor. Signs declared it the winner and runner up…
Incredible coastal hikes in Exmoor National Park | England
We chugged our way from the bottom of the valley all the way up to the rolling pastures. A winding lane led us to a carpark high above the sea where we hoped to camp for the night without any trouble. The view was incredible so after taking some photos we set off on our…
Exploring the rivers and moors in Exmoor National Park
We made our way into Exmoor National Park, a place I knew very little about which meant we were pleasantly surprised once we started exploring. Our first hike was to the popular Tarr Steps which is a medieval bridge made of huge stones slabs. We crossed the bridge where each stone beneath our feet weighed…
Roadtrip to the New Forest and a wild storm | England
“Let’s play a game Lauren…guess how many cars are behind Helga?” I roared with laughter, it was our first roadtrip in our 30 year old campervan and I peered in my mirror to see a queue of cars. Moments later a couple of pensioners squeezed into what could only be described as a drivable bobsleigh…
A great British Hike | Seaford to Eastbourne along the chalk cliffs
With lockdown easing in England we were able to catch the train to the coast for a full day hike along the chalk cliffs between Seaford and Eastbourne. It’s just a 45 minute train journey from us yet we started the day with a mad dash, running for the train and then sweltering in a…
BEST DESTINATIONS FOR HIKERS WHO LOVE THE MOUNTAINS
We hadn’t really seen mountains before we started our travels back in 2008 and we certainly had no idea what it felt like to explore the great outdoors. It was something we’d never tried but we soon realised the beach towns didn’t give us the same amount of joy that a long hike through jungle…
Highlights from two years backpacking around the world
In January 2018 we set off for another long stint abroad. This time we wanted to visit some new countries and return to a few favourites. So here’s a roundup of what we got up to and some of our best photos from the trip. NORWAY After spending a month roadtripping around Norway and falling…
A sky filled with hot air balloons and hiking through Cappadocia’s valleys
It’s like a hot air balloon festival every day in Cappadocia, that’s what makes it so special. Saying that, the trips don’t depart every day due to the weather and out of our five mornings they only departed on two of them. We wanted to view the balloons from a different area but in the…
