11 nights away in the caravan was about to begin! Excitement for an extended Michael and Zoe adventure was well and truly bubbling and had been for a while! The plan; 6 nights in the Peak District and 5 nights in Mablethorpe. Essentially the best of both worlds; walks, mountains and caverns and then rest […]
What started as a beautiful morning with bright blue skies and sun shining into the van, later ended in a somewhat traumatic experience – more on this later! The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and we slowly rose to the sun beating down on the van. We couldn’t have woken up to better […]
After yesterday’s chaos and heightened emotions, we felt like we needed to get back to the things that make us happy and remind ourselves why we bought the van and come to places with roads called Winnats Pass. With that in mind, we (Zoe) had a slow start to the morning. We enjoyed our morning […]
Caverns! Gosh get your minds out of the gutters! 🤪 After yesterday’s 17 km, a slow, rest day was absolutely needed, and that’s exactly how the day started and was intended! It was a very slow start. Coffee in bed was followed by a late breakfast. It was perhaps more of a brunch, but we […]
Today was the day, we were going up Mam Tor! I had originally wanted to climb Mam Tor for sunrise, which would have meant waking up at 4am, driving over to park slightly closer and climbing for sunrise which would have been at 5:43am. However; the weather app has not been our friend so far […]
And not just for the morning, the entire day – we are very proud of how lazy we have been, it’s been utterly deserved! Unfortunately, it doesn’t make for a very interesting blog but that’s life! The sun also heard that we were having a lazy day and joined us, our first full overcast day […]
And boy was the sun shining!! 🌞🌞 We had been very lucky with the weather so far this trip, with the only dip being yesterday and it being mainly overcast, but today was looking (and feeling) like a scorcher! It was bittersweet this morning, leaving the Peak District behind but knowing we still had another […]
No no, not the band, I am referring to the boys in this household! You turn around to Bentley and say, ‘You wanna go to the beach,’ and he is gone. It’s like he knows where the beach is and starts dragging you there! A very Michael morning So we had our usual slow morning […]
Anyone who knows us is fully aware that we are not city break people! I’ve been desperate to take the dog to London, but I know it would be nothing shy of chaos! Here was our chance to try out the dog in another city – we’ve conquered Cardiff now it’s Lincoln’s turn! A hot […]
This morning started like every other since being in Mablethorpe, with glorious sunshine beating down on the van! We really couldn’t have asked for better weather 🌞 We got up and went for a run again (think this holiday has turned me mad!) before then starting our day and enjoying the weather that we are […]
