In this episode, I dive into the much-discussed Fuji X100VI, a camera that has generated a fair bit of buzz since its release in March 2024. With a compact design and impressive 40.2 megapixel resolution, this fixed-lens camera caught my attention as I sought a smaller, more manageable alternative to my usual Canon gear for travel. I&rs...

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I share the unexpected challenges I faced on what was supposed to be an epic road trip through the Rocky Mountains. Just four days before our adventure kicked off, I injured my knee to the point of needing crutches and having to start the holiday in a wheelchair.

Welcome to another, albeit it brief, podcast!
Work has taken over my life for the next 4 weeks, so in this episode I am just explaining what may be coming up over the next few weeks, and explaining why there may not be an episode every week.

The VW California is great. We love it.
It works as an every day car.
It ferries us on holiday.
We eat in it.
We sleep in it.
We play games in it.
But, what are the benefits, and the downsides, of upsizing to something bigger?
In today's podcast, I discuss my thoughts on the pros and cons of moving to a bigger van. From the driving of it, the sleeping and the living in it.
The Question is....is bigger necessarily better?
Web...The Campervan isn't dying, but it's not very well!! is the episode that charts the bumpy road of modern campervan life — quite literally. This isn't a dreamy #vanlife highlight reel. It’s the real story: from beds that get stuck mid-trip (meaning we had a train to catch) to windscreens that won’t wash (twice, same part). Join me as we rattle our way through dodgy taps, wardrobe doors that never shut up, and habi...
This week on the Driving Horizons Podcast, we dive into a surprisingly disappointing pub stopover during our campervan travels—what went wrong, and what we think should be done differently.
