Day 02: Harwich to the Hook of Holland. This morning was an early start, 06:30 to be exact. We needed to be packed away and at the port for 8AM to make it before last departures. Also giving us a bit of time to drive Doris through the small country lanes that took us to […]

Why I Quit The Offas Dyke After 54 Miles.

Part of the not so plan, plan…
Part of the not so plan, plan… …still with me? Firstly, WOW. The support, love and engagement has been overwhelming and firmly cementing that writing and starting Explore Stronger was a good idea.

More caves and blue water waves! ?
Friday 25th January 2019. Usual morning for the “Van life” this morning. Refilling water, emptying water and of course emptying the toilet. It’s weird how these jobs are satisfying as you know it’s been done and you’re good for 3-4, even 5, days! We were heading to the Coromandel peninsular this morning. A windy drive […]
