That caravan blog: The great escapes

This story happened on: 01/09/2015

I grew up on the west coast of Cornwall, near a small town called Bude. It's the most beautiful and unspoiled place in England. It's a simple yet fulfilling lifestyle that caters for all. My parents house overlooks Widemouth bay, where I spent most of my days surfing. I was introduced to the sea  before I can even remember, and my life revolved around waves and ties. 

That was, until I turned 29, and I decided to change my routine. I moved to London and signed with Storm model management. My life changed, I was land locked in the big city, far away from the sea or anything I was used to. 

A few years in, I met Caroline. After months of courting we finally became a couple. Being of Norwegian descent, and used to being out in the nature, she quickly fell in Love with the English countryside. 

Living and working in London gives us little time to spend near the sea or in the nature, and we wanted to find a way to include more of this in our busy London lives. The choice was easy, we got ourselves a caravan, an Adria Adora Thames, a real beauty! Whenever we have time off work or a spare weekend, we will be taking our Adria on some little adventures around the country. 

So here is the beginning of our blog, so hitch yourself up and join us on the ride, we can't wait to share our stories with you!

Hi Joss - I was chuffed to see your article about surfing with a Caravan and have downloaded the app, although surprised the app didn't list Welsh CC sites. Wales has some tremendous Westerly facing surf breaks within easy walk / drive of CC sites. St David's probably being the best, but I'd love to hear about other options. Are there plans to expand the app to include Wales?

Hi I'm now retired but still manage to boogie board, but I prefer the warmer water of the med. I will be going to Spain for three months,starting on March, with board under my arm. Happy surfing, Phil
