About Us

Hi, that’s my wife Louise and me, Marcus. And yes, woolly hats are cool in our part of the world. 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 is a platform where we document our travels and share the incredible (or not-so-incredible) places we discover and explore. We hope you’ll enjoy reading about our journeys and that they might inspire you to visit some of the locations we find. Additionally, we’ll share our camping tips and, of course, our photography.

Professional travellers?

We’re not travel bloggers or van lifers who quit our jobs to become ‘professional travelers.’ We both work full-time, and our trips are squeezed into our hectic work and family schedules. So, don’t expect to see either of us in swimwear on an Instagram feed 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 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 also loves messing around with her phone camera, and she often 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.
