Our Story

"The Lumleys Big Adventure"


 

Adventure is in our blood, both Kate and Steve are experienced and seasoned travellers, we have backpacked, camped and travelled extensively across Europe, India and Africa. I have trekked across the mountains of Nepal and through the wilderness and glaciers of Alaska raising much needed funds for Sense the UK's Deafblind and Rubella Charity and have climbed Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro for Water Aid. The Campervantastic journey began in 2006 when I took full advantage of redundancy and turned this into an opportunity to buy our first VW California T4 campervan. What followed was an amazing 14-week European adventure through France, Italy and Geece (see pics below) that was to inspire Kate and I into starting a company hiring out modern factory built campervans. This amazing family adventure let us rediscover our love for Europe and sparked a new love - our very first campervan! To read the Volks World Camper Bus magazine feature, Family Way, click here.

Together with the assistance of our "Vantastic" crew we bring you a wealth of practical experience and an alternative way to travel, where you take control of when and where to go in the comfort of a well equipped campervan.
