This is our story of how one day we decided to sell our house, quit our jobs and go on a motorhome adventure. We want to wake up in a different place nearly every day and open our door to beautiful scenery and fresh air. That’s the dream anyway. This blog is about that journey.…
It's been a while since we have been on a holiday without our motorhome but we found ourselves very excited about our adventure onboard a cruise ship! There are some locations better viewed from the sea and we felt the islands off the west coast of Scotland was just such a place. This 4 night cruise took us past some of the smaller, uninhabited Scottish islands as well some of the more well known ones such as Arran, Skye and…
If you are thinking of visiting Anglesey with a motorhome then I can highly recommend it. Picturesque sandy coves, fantastic clifftop coastal walks and plenty of places to stay with a motorhome make Anglesey a great holiday destination. Here is the lowdown on where we stayed and where we visited. We will be back! Where did we stay? When looking for somewhere to stay with a motorhome we try to find somewhere close to good walks or close to a…
After cancelling our motorhome trip to France this September we had the discussion about where we could go instead. We loved our NC 500 motorhome tour 3 years ago so we decided we would head north again and do a mini Scotland motorhome tour. For information about the NC 500 road trip take a look at the excellent Visit Scotland website. So, we set off on a 10 day tour of the west coast of Scotland hoping to imagine we…
I feel very sorry for anyone involved in the travel industry during the corona virus pandemic. Just as the travel industry starts to get back on its feet the government introduces new quarantine rules for anyone returning from France, The Netherlands and Malta. What I can't understand though is why they introduced the new rules at such short notice, leading to a mass scramble to return from holiday from these countries. The UK government also advised against all but essential…
With campsites in the UK opening again after the Coronavirus crisis and many European countries opening their borders again it feels like nearly every motorhome owner is getting ready to get back on the road. We last used our motorhome in March when we visited Burrs Country Park near Bury and we should be in Europe now, but that's now been delayed until September. We have visited our motorhome in storage a couple of times and even took a picnic…
In the last 2 years we have visited many destinations in our motorhome. With no prospect of any motorhome adventures in the next few months due to the Coronavirus pandemic I have put together a 5 minute video showcasing some of the destinations we have visited. Hope you enjoy the video.
It certainly is strange times that we live in. Having to stay at home has given me time to write a motorhome article, the first one for a while. We were due to fly to Oslo last Saturday before joining a Hurtigruten voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes and the North Cape and back, but, like many other people, we have postponed the trip until November. We had lots of travel planned for 2020 but who knows now when we will…
We have found ourselves being in the position to brag about visiting Britain's greatest palace and probably one of France's most beautiful chateaux, Chenonceau, all in the space of about a month. Blog article about Chenonceau here. After being back in the UK for a few weeks, after our six weeks trip to France, it was time to make the most of the English summer and head off again for a mini motorhome adventure to Oxfordshire. Where is Britain's greatest…
