After the heatwave, the multi-country pet vet hustle, and four energetic days at the Adventure Bike Festival, we reset our roots and pointed our 2004 Hymer motorhome, Holly, north toward the Scottish border. What followed was a classic week of travel vlogging—complete with bizarre park-ups, unexpected roadside delights, breathtaking mountain passes, and a lesson in…
Our UK road trip has been a masterclass in contrasts, proving that the best travel stories often start with a “happy detour” and end with a completely unexpected adventure. We came for the scenery, but we certainly didn’t expect to accidentally find ourselves in Wales—or to tackle the infamous “Bog of Doom”! A Quiet Start…
