Hi all,
I am Guy, my wife is Francesca and our boy is Ralph who is a 18 month toddler. After months of vehicle research I bought a 4x4 Mitsubishi Delica JB-470 motorhome (1998) on Thursday. The vehicle decision was difficult as it had to be family friendly, suitable for narrow lanes in our National Parks but also robust enough (ground clearance, angels of approach and departure, simple electrics etc etc) to get us to and back from Mongolia in 2022/23 when we plan to take a year out to travel before Ralph starts school. I am not new to wild camping as 'bushcraft' is a hobby and am use to a sleeping bag and tarp so a fixed double bed is luxury. I am new to motorhomes and wild camping with a motorhome and I suspect it will bring some new challenges.
I live in the south Pennines in a place called Todmorden and can help if your looking for places to stay in the area. The Pennines are as beautiful as you can get before you get the disadvantages of the National Parks and the moorland environment tends to lend itself to remote and empty car parks frequently in the proximity of water supply, albeit one that will need filtering.
Looking forward to our first trip and getting to know the Delica so we can chose a name!
