Rain is forecast, lots of it. So we’ve tried to tactically dodge the worst of the weather with a jaunt to Cheddar Gorge and Gough’s cave. Cheddar Gorge…
Our first full day on our week off has been spent exploring Exmoor. Not sure what we were expecting, apart from rain, grey skies and another probable lacklustre…
For some, Van Life #VanLife maybe just another one of those travel fads, as cliched as backpacking in Thailand, either way, it’s probably the ultimate millennial hashtag. You…

Eeee by eck. We’ve a couple of days off from that nasty four letter word so we’ve come up to the North Yorkshire Dales (t’yorkshire) for some extreme…
I can count on two fingers the amount of times I’ve been to Blackpool, both ended in tears. Once in 1977 at a Dr Who exhibition, I ran out…
Eye spy with the London Eye, something beginning with C. Wrong. It’s the Capital and we are in it, jolly old London town. When a man is tired…
