Exploring England's Last Wilderness VAN LIFE UK | Van Life Diaries

Join us for our shakedown cruise as we road trip and explore the north east of England. Northumberland was on our radar thanks to its relative quietness. We'd heard rumours it was England's best kept secret, with a landscape of dark sky areas, deep forests and endless beaches. What better place to get lost for a while and test Sophia and all her upgrades. For the first week we stayed inland, cruising the national park and hiking our way around the insane natural beauty here.

Places We Visit:
Simonside Hills
Lambley Viaduct
Hadrian's Wall (Steel Rigg Car Park)
Kielder Forest Drive

We're Chesca and Ben and River (🐶 ) and we usually live full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. After a year of travelling Europe, from Spain and Portugal to the island of Sicily, the pandemic brought us back home to the UK. Along with a secret project we'd been planning! We plan to drive our tiny home on wheels all the way from Cornwall, UK to Cape Town, South Africa. Starting in late 2021, we first need to make some major upgrades to Sophia, stripping her right back to the insulation and giving her some beefy upgrades. Join us on our journey as we turn Sophia into an overlanding rig, ready to tackle whatever Africa can throw at us.
