Spot of the month (april)

April 30, 2014 by Mike 1 Comment

We’ve been ignoring the list of ‘Europe wild-camping spots’ (see post) recently to find our own places.  I was excited to find such a great spot from looking for clues on the map (e.g. dead-end grey roads through a lake) and driving to it. It is always hit and miss but I think I’m starting […]

Surfing in Portugal with help from a hitchhiker

April 18, 2014 by Mike 1 Comment

We carried on to Portugal via a few nights in Cadiz and Seville. I’ve only ever heard good things about Portugal; friendly people, good parties and big waves. We stayed around the south coast for a few nights (some great spots for vans) before dropping Erica (Ross’ gf) off at Faro airport for her flight […]

12 reasons why Gibraltar is so… strange?

April 12, 2014 by Mike Leave a Comment

  Red phone boxes, Royal Mail, police with those old hard-hats, wild monkeys eating rich teas on the street. Gibraltar Its strange.

Walking the Gibraltar rock

April 10, 2014 by Mike Leave a Comment

Gonna leave Gibraltar tomorrow so we better go up the big rock today. We got up late and played guitars for an hour before taking the curtain down to look at the busy street we’ve been camping on for the past 3 nights. I’ve got into the habit of checking the weather outside by looking […]

9 things I’ve learned after living in my van for a month

April 9, 2014 by Mike 5 Comments

Another thing that seems to appeal to me about living in a van (apart from the freedom) is the challenge of making it work. There is so much to learn with so many different ways of doing things, which both excites me and scares me. Here are a few things I’ve learned during my first […]

Finding Spain’s best free rave – Dragon festival

April 4, 2014 by Mike 4 Comments

All I knew was that there was some rave/festival in Santa Fe, near Granada (aka Dragoff or Dragon festival – read more) so we put that into the satnav and went. There was no sign of any party on arrival – not even the distant reverberation of a bass bin which I was relying on […]
