Hi, that's my wife Louise and me, Marcus. And yes, woolly hats are cool in our part of the world. In the background of the photo above, you can see our much-loved but now-departed T3 VW campervan.

We love to explore the UK and further, usually armed with a camera and often in a campervan. With both of us over half a century old, we like quite peaceful campsites, great walks, amazing food, and always travel at an ambling pace.

Our Ambling Adventures blog has been created to document our travels and share the amazing (or not-so-amazing) places we find and explore. We hope you will enjoy reading about our journeys and that they might inspire you to explore some of the locations we find. We will also share our camping tips and, of course, our Photography.

Professional travellers?

We are not travel bloggers or van lifers who quit our jobs to become ‘professional travellers; we both work full time, and our trips are squeezed into our busy work and family schedules. Don't expect to see an Instagram feed full of either of us in swimwear in the Maldives!

Travel

We are extremely fortunate to call the UK home. As a small island nation, the diversity of the landscapes is hard to match within such a small space. Being able to jump into our campervan at the drop of a hat and be halfway across the country within a few hours is perfect for us.

Photography

I’m a keen photographer, something I do for fun and relaxation. I’ve had some success in publishing my photos in newspapers, magazines, and websites, but my photos are mainly used to document our adventures. Louise loves messing around with her phone camera, and she somehow gets more likes than I do on her social media photos!

Campervan

We owned a quirky 1986 VW T3 Campervan (Bellamy) for several years and travelled the length of the UK in her. In 2021, we upgraded her to a Ford Transit Custom Nugget, which is also now our only vehicle.
