Who we are?

Van builders, Adventurers  and Brew drinkers! We are Darren & Jess and this website/blog captures all things adventure, whether it's van building, camping, road tripping,  hiking or just chilling with brew watching the world go by . We live for the adventure weekends when we can jump in the van, hit the road and explore the Great Outdoors.............especially South Wales.
​ 
The 'VANORAKS' story started in September 2019 when we found an old window fitters van and converted her into a hand crafted adventure wagon,  known as 'Virgil'. Virgil is a slight upgrade on our original van 'Indi'- a classic 1969 VW Bay campervan.........who was orginally an Indonesian school minbus! Indi had no heating, no insulation and travelled at a steady 58mph, but she had plenty of style and charm which took us around the UK and Ireland.

Recently in Virgil we have travelled NC 500, Orkney, Lake District, South Wales, Pembrokeshire, Snowdonia and Anglesey. 

Hopefully over the next year we plan to visit the Outer Hebrides, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man and Ireland........... check out our adventures on Instagram!
