Sheila
and Paul:
Since taking early retirement from busy careers respectively as a
Clinical Biochemist and Health Management Consultant, we spend from
early Spring to late
 Autumn
each year exploring wider Europe in our VW Camper. By
devoting a concerted 5 months period to each chosen destination,
our objective is to learn all we can about the country and
its people. Travel has given us the opportunity to pursue our
interests: Sheila to study each country's wild-life and flora,
Paul to understand its history, culture and language, and for us
both to enjoy the pleasures and challenge of living a
straightforward lifestyle in our campervan. Since beginning our
peripatetic lifestyle, we have now completed 15 such trips,
covering Greece (twice), Slovenia, the Pyrenees, Hungary,
Alsace-Lorraine, Sicily, Denmark, Croatia, Slovakia, Sardinia~Corsica, Czech Republic, Poland, the 3 Baltic States,
Finland and Lapland; the list of potential future host-countries continues to grow.
During our
ventures, we maintain this travelogue web site with regular
on-the-road updates of news and photo-galleries, a prime aim being to
share our experiences with fellow-travellers; maintaining
self-imposed editorial deadlines and finding the means of
uploading new material gives further challenges to an already busy schedule.
We hope you will enjoy sharing our ventures via the web site. |

Our
Family:
Modern
electronic communications enable us to keep in contact
during our extended travels with our two
daughters and families. Lucy graduated
 from Bristol University, and
is now
settled happily with Ben in Adelaide,
South Australia; her cycle racing achievements continue to
impress. Nicole and
Pete met at
Oxford Brookes University, and now live
near Cambridge; they
have two daughters, 8 year old Isobel and her 5 year old sister Zoë
(see left),
both of whom attend the local primary school. |

Our
Camper:
Home while travelling is our faithful VW Auto-Sleeper Trooper,
known to us as George, and pictured here
in summer 2012 among the fjords of Arctic Norway. The
 T4's turbo-diesel engine and the camper's trim size make for
trustworthy, economic
travelling. It's now the
only camper made with solid- sided raising roof,
assuredly
comfortable in all weathers. The result is an ideal match of all the traditional VW charm
combined with the solid reliability of modern technology. |
