Our Story

We’re a Shropshire-based family of outdoor lovers with two adventurous boys, a growing love for mountain biking, and a van named Vangelina. This blog is our way of remembering the good stuff – and helping others find it too.

What started as a way to document our walks has grown into a resource for:

• Other families looking for fresh air & freedom
• Parents who want quality time without the price tag
• Anyone curious about converting a van or finding quieter corners of the UK

Because you’ll get real-life, down-to-earth ideas for making the most of the outdoors as a family – without spending a fortune or needing perfect weather.

From muddy boots to mini-adventures, we’re here to show you that the best memories are often the simplest ones.
