Join us for a relaxing and wholesome 48 hours in the lake district this week. We dip into the coldest water yet and it's almost unbearable! We visit Iz's best friend Bri at her beautiful work place and take a trip out onto some choppy waters in a canoe! We are finally blessed with some winter sunshine and take you on a stunning hike up to Helm Crag (https://www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/england/cumbria/grasmere-and-helm-crag-circular). We finish the night off with an open fire outside and cook some chapatis from scratch whilst Tom sets up the projector for us outside.

If you're new here, we're Tom and Iz, a couple who have been living in a van for the last few years. We've explored Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Romania in our little home on wheels, La Bamba. If you missed any of these series you can check them out in our playlists. We most recently got back from a 10 week trip to Nepal (without the van), trekking in the Himalayas. We are now creating our UK WINTER VAN LIFE series and we would love you to join us! We usually upload on a Sunday at 5pm UK time. Our aim for this series is to get out there and explore areas of natural beauty in the UK that neither of us have been to before, getting outside in the elements and making the most of our British winter! We think winter is beautiful and we can't wait to explore a bit closer to home.
