We are Richard and Jackie and we live in the UK. We have chosen to early retire from teaching during the summer of 2022 at the age of 51. Our plans for early requirement include relocating to the Yorkshire Dales, renovating our forever home and travel the UK, Europe and eventually the world in our VW campervan Nelson.
You will soon realise that we are complete YouTube beginners with all the challenges of creating and publishing videos ahead of us, not to mention uploading when on the road.
Please subscribe and like our videos if you like what you see.

Many thanks,

If you want to be underwhelmed go to the highest waterfall in Aargau, Switzerland. Good pointer on the books, I hadn't heard of them before.
Thank you for the Wild Books reference. That should help with plans for our next trip.
Great contents guys Thanks for highlighting the wild books , let's hope you can get home in the next few days xxx it will be all worth it in the end xx keep safe
We bought the set of ‘Wild Guide’ books as soon as they were published, really informative coffee table books. Enjoying your vlogs 😊
We now have a couple of these, and are using the French Alps one to plan this summer's trip. I agree that they are brilliant. However – DO NOT be tempted to buy the Kindle versions! They are totally impossible to navigate, as you can't see which page relates to which area, so can't actually tell where anything is, and there are no page numbers to help. The one I have is more or less completely useless.
