• Day 9 • The main man’s birthday today 🎈still trying to celebrate amidst the corona crisis mayhem. Beach side walk at Eastbourne and some decent chips and battered pineapple from Dolphin Fish and chips. Now back to London and the chaos 💥 #camper #campervan #dogsofinstagram #cockapoosofinstagram #cockapoo #eastbourne #seaside #happybirthday (at Eastbourne, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wZ92hJ2zM4FKcgU4OjUJaD1RFCsLQ6DQgqII0/?igshid=bxf4hsxh9dtp

• Day 7 • Amazing scenery today through the seven sisters cliffs (although it certainly felt like more than 7!). A fairly tough hike with a special guest @fiona.mcnulty, providing the chocolate supplies along the way. As always, Nelson was loving the outdoor vibes. #camper #campervan #traveladventures #cockapoo #cockapoosofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #hiking #sevensisterscliffs (at Seven Sisters Cliffs) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9uYKTZp5x-xtY13-dAKAWcjmznVdKQKxFq6Is0/?igshid=1bohkwum51eq0

• Day 5 • Getting lost in the Chilterns today. Started off ardently following a map which was very swiftly ditched, opting for follow the down-trodden path instead. 🍂👣 We made it back after 10 miles of walking, a little damp and one very tired (and extremely muddy) dog! #walking #chilterns #camper #campervan #dogsofinstagram #cockapoosofinstagram #cockapoo (at Pulpit Woods - The National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ez3sXJJWnX9da9YCk_psMlw_YsRw39UN2I2Y0/?igshid=vbyyfgyskih1

• Day 4 • After a slightly stressful flooding issue (don’t leave the shower on whilst driving), we arrived at our first wild camping experience tonight thanks to park4night. In a great little spot close to the top of Coombe Hill. 🍃 • We walked through the pitch black woods to a night time view of the Chilterns.🌛 • Then back to base for dinner and a glass of wine 🍷 • Nelson has really settled into the van now. He is all about home comforts. ✨ • #wildcamping #park4night #campervan #camper #cockapoo #cockapoosofinstagram #vanlife #hymer #chilterns (at Coombe Hill, Buckinghamshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cnAh1B_qat8nlCb4rSFMeNooEyzZlg6Qjbhs0/?igshid=1sdewb8yg429u

• Day 3 • Nelson does love to be beside the seaside 🏖 We drove south to Milford-on-sea, a very pretty spot for a walk and a beachside lunch. The wind and sunshine made for a refreshing stroll. Certainly blew the cobwebs away. 🪁 And most importantly, Nelson is a very satisfied pooch. That’s his happy face. Poser. 💁🏻‍♀️ #milfordonsea #camper #campervan #travel #traveldiaries #cockapoo #cockapoosofinstagram #seaside #walks #walkswithmydog (at Milford on Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SWfX1nkV9VNNMifeqXWkh-7wJSgmQlr6kDnA0/?igshid=1ja6pnsq4tbk9

• Day 1 •

After many years of contemplation, research and LOTS of saving, we finally bought our very own sparkly hymercar camper and the excitement is real 💫

We thought we’d share our travel journey on here and hopefully also get some advice and tips from the seasoned campers out there.

After we battled with storm Horhay to pick him up, we set off on our first adventure, with the main man, Nelson (cockapoo) on board.

Arrived to a beautiful woodland setting 🌲at setthorns campsite in the new forest, surrounded by wild horses 🐎 and deer 🦌.

Let the adventures begin ✨
