Piglet our van is back on the road and we have taken to van life like a duck takes to water, camping out under the stars exploring the countryside and being able to make tea whenever and wherever we want. We thought we would do a little update on our travels over the past month.
We got our van back after she had a new water pump, fuel tank and coolent pipes fitted and hit the road straight away. Having all the space is awesome and having space for everything means we can just get out our walking boots whenever we want and hike the countryside.
We have been keeping our travels relatively close to home just incase old piglet decided she wants something else fixing. It also gives us a chance to see what we may need on our longer journeys and things we don't need. One thing we do have to finish is setting up our gas so we can use the camper stove and not the little portable one we have got.
Wild camping is great fun, getting to wake up to a different view everyday and watching the sunset and sunrise is just a bonus. We have found that we are never bothered by any passers by so far and people seem to be very interested in the van often waving or smiling as they walk past.
Another bonus is that we managed to finish our National trust passports, finally it only took a year!
Piglet is a perfect size to fit down the small roads of the Cotswolds so she will get along fine with the even smaller roads of Devon and the Lakes (we hope), even if Sarah is on the right hand side and has oncoming traffic coming towards her, making for some rather interesting debates on weather we can fit past this giant tractor or not.
We don't think the van is helping our hiking addiction though.
Its been a busy month and piglet has been a trooper not missing a beat making us gain our confidence in her. In the new year we have a lot of camping trips planned all over the country and we are going to be taking our travels one step further by having a youtube channel, which means you can watch us and our adventures and everything we get up to if your so inclined. See you on the road and in the countryside everyone keep on adventuring.
