Support our Camp Sites
We know the allure of the ‘wild’ spot, the off the beaten track hidden gems and the secret park up but these small businesses have lost a lot over lockdown so even if you are planning an ‘off grid’ trip, consider allocating a night or two in a camp site – doing our bit aContinue reading “Support our Camp Sites”
Update on our new house! 😉
Toilet base in… the bed area is held up for now while we wait for the water tank to arrive so we can finish building the frame around that but you can see now where our wardrobes are going in on the back wall 🤩 Next up – toilet cube and seating area..
Van Life Prep: Slow it TF down
Slow TF Down… Hustle Life has become a badge of honour, pushing ourselves to burn out all too often, making us sick and tired.

Kerry & Craig’s North Coast 500
With all of our travel plans for 2020 completely cancelled and our Penelope Plans having to slow down, we decided to hire a van and spend a week driving, parking, walking, camping in the UK. We had two options – North or South, but with children likely to be off school – we felt that theContinue reading “Kerry & Craig’s North Coast 500”
Truck build set back?
So, as with everyone else, our lives have been massively disrupted by the current world health crisis we are experiencing at the moment. We started this year with a wedding, a honeymoon in India and plans of travel to Nepal (where we got stuck when they closed the airport) followed by work in France, MoroccoContinue reading “Truck build set back?”
