Hello. I am a writer, camper, surfer, cyclist and environmental campaigner. I am also someone who loves books, partly because books mean adventures. Writing my books, the Take The Slow Road series, The Camper Van Cookbook, The Camper Van Coast and The Camper Van Bible, has taken me to all kinds of brilliant and interesting places because it's all about getting out and doing stuff. It even got me on TV with my BBC 2 series 'One Man and his Campervan'. I hope my books will inspire you. There is nothing like jumping off a waterfall into a deep, dark pool or cooking great food in the great out doors. In the between times we may have to work, pick up the kids or sit through another day at the office but it will never stop us planning and dreaming. And that's what my books are all about. I believe in a simple ethos of 'leaving it nicer', which means that I try to clear up wherever I go. It was this thought that led me to found the 2 Minute Foundation, a charity devoted to cleaning up the planet two minutes at a time. My environmental work led me to write 'No. More. Plastic.', a book about changing the world through small actions. I loved writing it. I also loved starting the Kids Fight series, with Kids Fight Plastic, Kids Fight Climate Change and Kids Fight Extinction. I live in Bude, Cornwall, in a little house by the sea with Dr Lizzy, a gardener and botanist. My kids Maggie and Charlie are at Uni studying to be very cool girls indeed. I work from the spare room where I write about plastic, beach cleaning, VW's, camping, food, fun and simple pleasures. I am a judge for The Caravan and Motorhome Club's Motorcaravan design awards and also appeared in their epic TV show 'Carvannner of the Year'. Great gig. I write a regular column in Coast Magazine. I am also a trained Barista, a qualified RNLI Beach Lifeguard, a PADI Drysuit Diver and hold a current Cycling Proficiency Badge (from 1978). I love tea.
