Our last day in Denmark – the bags were packed and we were ready to leave our cosy little studio apartment in Copenhagen. Our first stop of the morning had us drive into the city centre and find a small car park, Copenhagen is a pretty chilled out city to drive around as long as…

Denmark 6 | Out of the Trees, Denmark’s Highest Peak and Crossing the Kattegat
It was another morning which came around far too quickly – the sun sat low in the sky, out of sight, casting its morning glow on the clouds above and the tips of the trees. It was a cold morning, colder than the previous night had felt. The ground and its carpet of flora was…
Denmark 5 | Beaches, Lighthouses and an Incredible Forest Experience!
After the disturbed sleep due to the previous night’s stormy weather it felt all too soon that the sun was up and it was time to get up, pack our bags and make our way out of the forest. Making sure we left no trace of our spending the night, we headed back through the…
Denmark 4 | The Wadden Sea & Trees for Hammocking
Our day started bright and ready to head to the coast where a causeway crosses the Wadden Sea to the small island of Mandø. The small country roads were quiet as we drove out of Ribe, and the further out we got the more greenery there was surrounding each house we passed. The sky was…
Denmark 3 | Viking Settlements & Scandinavia’s Oldest Town
After our second night in the cosy barn conversion in Rødvig we awoke to another beautiful morning. Once again I wandered across the field to the little bench perched on the cliff edge, the thin, wispy clouds veiled the entire sky in silver – it wasn’t yet a ‘sunny’ day but everything was exceptionally bright….
Denmark 2 | Møns Klint, Neolithic Tombs and 13th C Frescoes
I awoke to an enticing orange glow from the window, peeking out I noticed it was from the rising sun and this was enough to get me out of bed to go and explore. Just across the road from our little barn conversion, past a small field was the cliff edge overlooking the Baltic Sea….
Denmark 1 | Through Roskilde and on to Rødvig
An early(ish) flight from Manchester had led to us sleeping in the van the night before; we wanted to avoid the cost of a hotel or a disgustingly early drive down there from the Lakes. It meant the very start of our journey was very easy, bags were already packed, parking for the van had…
Haweswater Bivvy!
It was a beautiful drive into the valley – Haweswater is probably the least inhabited valley in the Lake District. It is managed by the RSPB and it definitely feels more wild than most of the others. Surrounded by big peaks it is a great place for walking and obviously we weren’t the only ones…
Scotland 07/18 | Sunshine in the Morning and Woodlands by Awe
Upon awaking and seeing the sun shining on the contours of the mountains, against a back drop of powder blue I woke Callum up to tell him what a lovely morning it was… poor fellow. I was torn between getting up to enjoy it and staying cosy allowing myself to sleep a little longer. Sleepiness…
Scotland 07/18 | Breakfast in Glenelg and an Evening Swim
So, we had a rather interesting wake-up call – a helicopter passing ridiculously close by roused me enough to jump up and see what was going on out the window. However the noise didn’t die down, as expected of a vehicle passing by, and so I ventured out the van to find that it was…
