We headed for our camp site in Plitvice national park, Big bear campsite, a short 3 hour hop from the coast of Pula, to the edge of the Bosnian border. We were excited to get some exploring done after a week of relaxing on the island of Cres, and the

Our time in the Schengen zone is over, we still have a few days left just in case we need to get back, but for now we need to spend some time out of Schengen, and what a place to come to. I have always fancied Croatia as a holiday

The boys had arrived and our Monte Rosa adventure begins. We have had this trip planned for about 9 months now and we all were super excited and anxious to begins. This is mine and Will's first experience at high altitude, whilst Sam is a sucker for punishment summiting Many

First things first, apologies for the super long blog post, we have had a few connections issues kicking us off the blog server, so your getting Italy in one big hit! As we entered Italy via the Mont Blanc tunnel, we quickly realised the Italians LOVE a tunnel, following the

Its been a blast, a few stressed moments but living in the van for a month has been amazing. We've had cities, beaches, memorials, the sea and mountains. I've worked in France a few times and since then had always believe the 'French arrogance' was a bit of a misconception,

Firstly we want to announce, we survived the heatwave...Just! After spending an unexpected 4 days on a campsite to try and wait out the heatwave which exceeded 40 degrees for 3 days straight, we finally made it to La Rochelle. Before I get on to La Rochelle I would

Strictly speaking, we haven't reached La Rochelle yet like we anticipated as I had a climbing accident  (which I will go into more detail later) and decided to rest up for a few days on a camp site, , and a heat wave was on its way so we needed a

As I mentioned in the previous post, its our anniversary on the 12th June and its become a bit of a tradition to have a day together on the beach replicating our first date... West we headed! Before we started the 342km drive to Le Conquet, Brest we had to

Our journey in France begins and we head west across the northern coast. We decided to take it easy the first week, find our feet and get a feel for driving on the right (wrong) side of the road. From our first stop over after arriving in France we were

The day has come 4th June 2022, after months of planning, building and double checking absolutely everything, we set off on our 250 mile trip from the North of England to Newhaven ferry terminal to catch our ferry to Dieppe, France. On our way to down to the South of
