  • Day 6 of a Year in a Motorhome with James Walters

    Welcome back to "Beneath the Oxwich Adventures: A Year in a Motorhome with James Walters"! It's Saturday, 6th January 2024, and today was all about juggling the ups and downs of motorhome life. In this episode, I dive into the frustrations of dealing with repairs that never seem to get done, including an unresolved steering rack issue and an electric heater that has decided to quit on us again. 😤

    But it’s not all bad news! Arthur and I found some joy at Broadway Caravan & Motorhome Club campsite, where we got to play together on the PlayStation, thanks to a kind gift from a friend. 🎮
    Motorhome life is not always easy—especially when things keep breaking—but it’s all part of the adventure. Today’s video diary captures both the frustrations and the fun moments that come with this lifestyle, including reflections on how much we've learned since we started living full-time in The Oxwich. We’re getting better at it, but the learning curve is steep, and we’re taking it day by day.

  • Day 5 of a Year in a Motorhome with James Walters

    Welcome to "Beneath the Oxwich Adventures: A Year in a Motorhome with James Walters" and this is Day 5 of our video diary, where life in a motorhome brings its own unique challenges and rewards. It’s Friday, 5 January 2024, and in today’s episode, I reflect on how changes in my lifestyle have improved my sleep and mental health. Arthur is back with me for the week, and we’re navigating floods, repairs, and the ever-present joys and frustrations of living in our beloved motorhome, The Oxwich.

    This episode touches on the ups and downs of motorhome maintenance, including the ongoing saga of fixing the steering rack and a few more unexpected challenges. But we’re also taking time for some family fun, reconnecting with nature, and staying grounded by remembering that life is about adapting and embracing the unknown. Plus, we share some insights on our plans for wild swimming and off-grid living as the year unfolds.

  • Day 4 of a Year in a Motorhome with James Walters


    Hey Oxwich Adventurers! 🌿🚐

    Welcome to Day 4 of our journey in the motorhome, The Oxwich! Today feels like a fairly average day, but the beauty of our average is that it involves being out in the wild, breathing fresh air, and enjoying nature—so much better than the monotonous days back at the house.

    This episode covers our day parked at a car park managed by the Malvern Hills Conservators, a wonderful organisation that maintains the natural beauty of the area. I talk about the changes I'm making to improve my sleep quality, my morning yoga routine with @glo, and the joy of delaying my first coffee to enhance my energy levels.

    We also discuss the importance of grounding, getting direct sunlight to regulate our body's natural rhythms, and the various ways living in a motorhome allows us to connect intimately with the environment around us. From breathtaking sunrises to quiet walks, this lifestyle keeps us in tune with nature.

  • Day 3 of a Year in a Motorhome with James Walters

    Hey Oxwich Adventurers! 🌿🚐

    Welcome to the very first episode of our new podcast series, "Beneath the Oxwich Adventures: A Year in a Motorhome with James Walters." Although this is the debut episode, it's actually day 3 of our year-long journey living full-time in our beloved motorhome, The Oxwich.

    On 3rd January 2024, I found myself at Talybont-on-Usk Reservoir, battling the aftermath of flu or Covid. Despite the tough nights and feeling wiped out, I made it through with some yoga and a clear plan to improve my sleep and overall routine this year. Adapting to motorhome life has been a learning curve, from managing limited electricity and water to overcoming personal challenges and technical issues like faulty heaters and unreliable internet.

    In this episode, I also highlight LifeSaver® water purifiers. These gadgets remove 99.99% of protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, making water from almost any source safe to drink. Perfect for our motorhome life, hiking trips, or just being prepared. Check them out at LifeSaver Water Purifiers. By using this link, you're supporting our adventures.

  • Motorhome Off-grid Electrics Still Not Working and Others Things That Need Sorting - Season 101, Episode 2
    This episode is a look at the part of living a climate positive lifestyle in the van that isn't all rosey and lovely. The bits that need sorting, cost money, and keep cropping up in the quest to live a low cost offgrid and simple life while juggling being a single dad, parenting, morning routines, homework, work, school run, evening meals, stories, and adventures: Leisure battery, inverter, satellite internet, replacing tyres and wheel bearing and brake fluid, £400 polish!!!, broken shower tap, leaking shower tray, wardrobe shelves and doors flying open, getting the laundry done, food shopping, refilling with water, window locks, wheel clamp, steering wheel lock, replacing fuel pump, gas refills, roof leaking. And, that doesn't even include the winter work I already booked in...

  • Introducing the New Style Podcast - Season 101, Episode 1
    No more planning or set schedule, just me talking about climate positive lifestyle type things, being a single dad, a bit of swearing and passion for the things I feel strongly about, adventures with Arthur, van life, travelling, working, schooling, and parenting from the motorhome, and other nonsense so this podcast is different to what you can find from Nafford Junction on YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and the website.
