    I’m Nic, I roam the world in my campervan! I self-converted my Vauxhall Vivaro aka LL Cool Van into a mini off grid beast so I can run away into the wilderness. I have been exploring the open road for 2 years and I share my tiny living and travel stories here, with the hope to inspire and encourage you all to grab your dreams and adventure around our beautiful world too!

    I am so glad you let Onyx choose. He is so smart. He listens to your every word and thought. That was the "beautiful" thing to do. Absolutely lovely video. You are so kind and I just love your videos. Georgeous and the waterfall just topped it off. Amazing. Thank you.

    Hi guys! Super excited for this vlog! I'd love to know if you will be visiting any of these places after seeing them on here?
    P.s I should have probably mentioned Stiperstones is also known as The Devils Chair. Would have made the Satan story make much more sense if I explained that first 😂.
    Anyway have a lovely week guys! See you in the comments below!

I decided at the ripe old age of 52 to go live my dream of blogging and travelling and solo female vanlifers such as your good self have been an inspiration! I'm heading up to the Highlands when Vera is ready and will most definitely be stopping off in Shropshire to visit ALL the places in this video as they're utterly stunning!

    It's very strange really as I was camping up the longmynd in my tent that same night and I'm sure I walked passed your van the following morning, on my way back to plush Hill. I'm from Shrewsbury myself, so was Suprised to see this, but great work. I love the longmynd and caradoc, very stunning and scenic.

    You have great screen presence and your videography is really nice. A great combination of scenery, music and local information with your green message being there but not too pushy. I think that last point is important because I get a strong sense that there is part of the population that gets tired of in your face messaging... not least because of the pandemic. Really loving your videos though... you are an impressive and inspiring character. All strength to you.

Go past the by houses and straight on when you come to the cross road with a pub on the corner. The road will curves to the right where you can park, or go on about 100m to the campsite. The campsite itself is really nice and is in the "coolest campsites in England" book. From there you can just follow your nose up the valley (Ashes Hollow) I walk it with my daughter every now and then and have even camped up there too :-)

      I don't have the largest of batteries and as I work on the road my priority was having enough power to work in the day over having the heating on. I do have a split charger but I don't really want the engine running all day. Plus during this period it was covid lockdowns and a heaters noise makes it obvious you're inside. Various reasons really but also I didn't need it on all night once I had my hot water bottle etc 😄
