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. It was a very strange 3 months but it enabled us to reflect on the important … [Read more...] about Campervan Road Trip to Cornwall

We hired a motorhome

Please don't tell our campervan! Just before the Easter holidays we were all set to go away in VolksCamper and I noticed a last minute deal on a motorhome for hire based just around the corner in Derbyshire. A Facebook page called RENTACAMPA had advertised a Rimor 14P Motorhome which would be available the next day for a weeks self-drive holiday. We already had the campsites booked so we … [Read more...] about We hired a motorhome

Visiting Devon

Devon is a massive County! As a family we visit on a yearly basis and there's still many areas we haven't yet travelled to. It's hard to resist the old favourites and it's interesting to see how they change each year - Croyde for example has become such a tourist hot spot and is becoming pretty crowded since we first discovered it's charms in the mid nineties. This year our base was once again in … [Read more...] about Visiting Devon

UK Coast Tour

When someone mentions "Coast to Coast" in the UK I usually think of the popular route across the country that starts in the Lake District and ends in Whitby. Our recent campervan road trip version of Coast to Coast followed a slightly peculiar route based on the weather forecast at the time - from Cornwall to North Devon through Derbyshire to Lincolnshire! Here's a few panoramic photos taken at … [Read more...] about UK Coast Tour

River Dart Country Park

We've just returned from a three night break at the River Dart Country Park Campsite and managed to go outside of the school holidays as the school had Thursday and Friday as inset days. We went in the campervan with two other families who were in a caravan and a tent (6 adults, 6 kids) - each allocated pitch was one of the biggest I've been on. The place was empty on the Thursday and Friday … [Read more...] about River Dart Country Park

North Devon

Wow, last week turned out to be a pretty good week to get away. A trip to North Devon was on the cards - this time in a group of 15! We got down a day early and stayed at a site where we once had a seasonal pitch, Willingcott Caravan Club Site. I wasn't sure about the weather ... Then we cheated, and moved onto Willowfield Lake Cottages for the week - complete with personal hot tub, … [Read more...] about North Devon

The Lakes

This Bank Holiday weekend we took the opportunity to jump in the bus and drive North. After 160 miles we landed in the Lake District and pulled up to Windermere Camping And Caravanning Club Site. We took the Quechua Base Seconds XL living area which literally popped up in seconds and then took a few minutes to peg out six guy ropes. The last time I visited the Lake District it was … [Read more...] about The Lakes
