In today's episode of "Beneath the Oxwich Adventures: A Year in a Motorhome with James Walters," I reflect on the past few days and share my experiences exploring the wild beauty of the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean. From navigating tricky farm tracks to discovering stunning views at the Buckstone, this leg of the journey has been filled with challenges, peaceful spots, and moments of solitude in nature. I talk about my ongoing mission to improve my sleep, finding joy in simplicity, and the freedom of motorhome life, especially when surrounded by nature's beauty.

I parked up at Staunton and spent time hiking Offa's Dyke path, with incredible walks to places like Devil's Pulpit, where the views are truly breathtaking. Despite the freezing temperatures, I’m making the most of it—whether it’s with a shower using my LifeSaver Jerry Can or topping up water from nearby streams, I love the independence that comes with this lifestyle.

I also explore my thoughts on building a tiny cabin in such peaceful spots and how places like the Wye Valley keep calling me back. Life in the motorhome is simple, connected to nature, and full of adventure—even in the cold!
