Our second to last stop, Brugges was one place where we had heard a lot about but were a little unsure what to expect. We were a bit worried that it would be far to touristy for our liking. While that was true to an extent, we found a lot of places in the town... Continue Reading →
Brussels, Belgium
We were greated at Brussels Zuid station by some friends and taken to their home on the outskirts of Brussels. For Will this was incredibly exciting as they were still in the same house that he used to visit as a child. The memories flooded back, and we spent an afternoon and evening reminiscing about the...

Northern England
There's not too much to write about the week and a half we spent in the north of England. Mainly because we didn't do much during that time. We had arranged to stay with some family friends in a small village called Stone, but before there we spent 2 days slowly making our way to Hardian's Wall.... Continue Reading →
Scotland
We got the early morning ferry from Northern Ireland and arrived into Scotland around lunch time. From there we knew exactly where we were heading: Galloway Forest Park. After a few hours drive we got there, and very quickly found a good spot for the night in a tiny carpark nestled into some trees. Finally!... Continue Reading →
Northern Ireland
We had decided for our 3 days in Northern Ireland to skip Belfast, as our experiences in the bigger cities in England and Ireland had not been very good thanks to the camping requirements. So we headed to a town by the name of Carrickfergus and tried to find a campsite. Oh dear. There was... Continue Reading →
Ireland – Part 2
We left the ring of Kerry, and headed towards Ireland's jewel. It's beating heart. It's soul....... Father Ted's house. We stopped at a small village close by and camped there for somewhat of an eventful night. After bumping into a French lady doing a trip by herself for the 3rd campsite in a row, we...

Ireland – Part 1
The ferry from Wales to Ireland was not the most pleasant experience in the world. As it was school holidays, the ratio of children to adults was about 4:1, making for a loud and somewhat stressful trip combined with endless running, screaming, and general child-related unpleasantness. But it was cheap. So when we arrived in... Continue Reading →
Wales
The lazy bug, which has infected me for the past few months, has temporarily lifted so I thought I would take the opportunity to finally update the blog! So the below happened about 6 months ago now, but it still feels like yesterday... We left Devon early in the morning, saying goodbye to the campsite... Continue Reading →
Devon, England
We left Banbury with the plan to see Stonehenge and Bath, stay the night in a small village before heading to Devon for a few days. Stonehenge seemed somewhat underwhelming and we, along with many others, decided to see it from outside the fence rather than pay to see it a bit closer. Even if... Continue Reading →
Banbury, England
After arriving in London and spending a wonderful 2 nights staying with friends, the day had arrived to pick up our Spaceship. This was one of the two main things that our whole trip was based around, the other being the Trans Siberean railway. Our Spaceship was called Arthur Dent and contained a full bed,...
