Think adventure, landscape, wilderness & pure rugged unspoilt beauty. Scotland is simply idyllic for campervans. From big mountain landscapes, to glistening white sandy beaches and magnificent coastlines. For me, Scotland takes the best of the Alps and mixes it with the best of the Mediterranean, making the best of both more accessible. Sure it rains…
As ever, in a frantic rush to use my holidays up before the year is out, I find myself once again taking a week off and darting up to Scotland. Having seen snippets on social media, I began dreaming of scenes of winter in the west coast highlands. Having enjoyed the falling of leaves &…
Fresh air, coffee, vanlife, adventure and simplicity – It could only be autumn adventures in the Cairngorms National Park. The best of the Scottish highlands. Oh, and bikes too (of course). With a week off scheduled, the lure of adventure begins to grow. Nothing quite awakens the soul like a trip to Scotland. Vast mountainous…
So I’ve just returned back to normality after a week away, seeking both answers and adventure in the Scottish Highlands. It’s been a hectic summer – but for all the right reasons, this summer has been one to remember. From my journey of 1000 miles across the alps, to successfully adding my name to Everesting…
With the spring snow melt filling up the rivers across the European Alps, the playground is formed for the alpine kayaking season. The end of the ski season certainly doesn’t mean the end of alpine fun. For whitewater kayakers, it means the opposite, the fun of steep creek kayaking in Italy is just about to…
A weekend with nothing in the diary and a stunning spring weather forecast is the perfect recipe for an adventurous weekend in North Wales. But all this amazing spring weather does unfortunately mean the stagnation of whitewater kayaking. ‘Yeah but you can go mountain biking and running instead?’ is what you’re undoubtedly thinking. ‘Yeah but…
4 day bank holiday weekends coupled with sunshine are a thing to behold in the UK. Whilst the beers gardens nationwide were packed, I opted for seclusion and adventuring on the Isle of Arran. Spring and autumn are the shoulder seasons, bringing the best of the summer months, but without the continued heat intensity. Spring…
The Pembrokeshire coastlines are renowned for their breath-taking natural beauty. Despite being a place I’ve heard so much about, I’ve never previously explored the area. Personally, from a purely adventure perspective, I prefer mountains to the coastal scene – however I still absolutely love the Great British seaside. From the towns, the salty air & sea breeze…
Exploring Croatia by car, made my adventure so much easier. Having that flexibility to plan & adjust my week to suit me was the ideal way to fit as much into the trip as possible. Car camping is an idea I first came across in New Zealand – it’s the simple concept of living out…
Thursday 4th January! So we’re back inland and exploring the Tongariro National Park – or I wish that I could currently say I am writing my latest blog post coming from yet another cool place; i.e. the base of the three volcanoes at the heart of the park; the mountains Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu. Instead…
