About The Authors

Since meeting in early 1999 Catherine and Mark have progressively been exploring the world via land and water, maximising weekends and holidays to get off the beaten track. Over the years they have progressed from hike tent to camper trailer to caravan and motorhome, and Tassie the Burmese cat joins them on the adventure.

Betty Blue has again selected a mate (might not be the same as last year’s - apparently there is a 15% divorce rate!) and commenced nest building… let’s hope we are more successful this year!

Happy Rare Disease Day! It’s our opportunity to

Happy Rare Disease Day! It’s our opportunity to raise awareness of little known diseases which are frequently misdiagnosed - for example idiopathic subglottic stenosis. I have been a sufferer of this disease for more than 20 years, and had in excess of 30 general anaesthetics to treat it. 96% of patients are misdiagnosed. I was initially treated for ‘asthma’, and later told I had anxiety (ie was having panic attacks), all the while my airway was closing up with scar tissue. I am very grateful to be alive and with access to the very best doctors in the world. Please help spread the word so other misdiagnosed ladies can find the right help. #airwaystenosis #RareDiseaseDay

A beautiful afternoon at #rspbhamwall enjoying the autumn sunshine - so many tame birds - robins, chaffinches, blue tits and great tits, all happy to eat from the palm of your hand…and to top it off, a stunning marsh harrier, being chased by a crow! #autumn #england #december

Extreme cuteness at 4 x the speed as Betty Blue has a wash before tucking in for the night. Be aware this is in pitch black conditions - this is a night vision camera. She’s wisely avoiding the wind and rain of #stormbert this evening 🩵 #greenfeatherscamera #bluetit #autumn

Lovely to stroll through #AlexandraParkHastings with @snappyjenny yesterday afternoon. A visit to the gorgeous memorial bench for a sadly departed friend taken far too soon, and a hot chocolate in the cafe. #autumn #hastings #cancersucks #family #sussex

What are we doing here?

Rather than post everything on Facebook, we decided it would be better to capture our journey in one place - here we hope to share our photos, drawings and stories to bring you vicariously along with us on our adventure...
