Campervan Road Trip to Cornwall

As a school teacher and a business owner we worked through the COVID-19 lockdown without furlough or government grants. Our usual Easter school holiday trip was cancelled as we (mostly) worked from home in a desperate attempt to keep money coming in as clients cancelled their contracts and everyone tightened their belt.

Beach breaks in Croyde

The autumn half term at the end of October is a great time for beginner surfers to get away in the UK when it's not too crowded.

Shelter, sleeping, seating, cooking and eating is the highest priority for the campervan equipment, but there's always … [Read more...] about Campervan Essential Equipment

Touring Caravan Kit

So at the start of 2009 I've been thinking about last year and the touring Caravan we bought in March 2008. We have been thinking about where we might go in 2009 and what extra kit we might need. When I first got 'the van' I was totally unprepared for the onslaught of kit required and also surprised at what kit does not come standard when shelling out for a van. For example you wouldn't dream of … [Read more...] about Touring Caravan Kit
