Guided day trips around Dorset & the New Forest in a VW camper! Proms, weddings & private tours too!

Season’s Greetings from a festive & snowy Snowy to all our guests & pals! Have a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year (and don’t worry, Dorset isn’t under snow, this was 2018!)!!

My first Tweet in ages, but it’s both VW Snowy & Dorset Day Trips’ 10th birthdays, still going & great fun despite some tough years recently, a big bill or two & the council never making things easy. Not too bad an antidote for all those years in an office! Hooray for Snowy!!

Here’s a little bit of Dorset’s beautiful Jurassic Coast at Old Harry Rocks, visited by National Treasure Sir David Attenborough in #WildIsles on @BBCOne tonight & seen on many of Dorset Day Trips’ unique tours in Snowy the VW camper van! #Dorsethour

Aged at last! Here’s VW Snowy with that naughty Anglo-Saxon Cerne Abbas giant peeping over, as seen on some of our trips in #Dorset &on #DiggingForBritain with lovely Prof @theAliceRoberts. No fewer than 6 ancient monuments+Roman ruins on one of our tours!#Dorsethour #Archaeology

Here’s that naughty Cerne Abbas giant, as seen on #ThisMorning & on some of our VW camper tours in #Dorset! A few years ago he was joined by a giant whitewash & doughnut-throwing Homer Simpson, no need to guess the target! More fun facts & amazing sights on tour! #Dorsethour

Here’s one of the residents of the New Forest naying “hello” on one of our trips there, and seen with pals by @fredsirieix1 & @Chris_Bavin on #Remarkableplacestoeat ! Tours starting again soon we hope (pub visits always an option!)! #Dorsethour

Here’s just a small section of the Dorset coast at Portland/Chesil Beach, as seen on #ForTheLoveofBritain, and viewed from Snowy the camper when Dorset Day Trips’ tours are eventually back up & running later this year (we hope!)!! #Dorsethour

@HamzaYassin3 -just seen your brilliant C4 #WildScotland show: fantastic location &photography, great job! Here on the south coast, being just a few miles from the IOW I'm longing to spot one of the white-tailed sea eagles reintroduced there -hopefully it's only a matter of time!

Here’s Gold Hill in Shaftesbury where the old Hovis ad was filmed by Ridley Scott, visited on #BBCSouthToday & seen on our Hardy’s Dorset tour in Snowy the VW camper! #Dorsethour

OK, not as interesting as a cute puppy or z-lister antic, but I’ve now passed 1800 miles on my #NHS Charities walk, so just 8 marathons-worth to go now. Please support me & our #NHSheroes at https://t.co/ZlskMgsO13 #Dorsethour

[Daren @DorsetDayTrips]

@WLanePhoto @TOGWalks Thank you, and will do!

[Daren @DorsetDayTrips]

Hello All - one of these boots has done most of the 1500+ miles I’ve now clocked up, the other’ll be doing the rest! Only 500 of my NHS charity walk to go now. #Dorsethour @TOGWalks

[Daren @DorsetDayTrips]

@Elisa_M1 Thanks so much, Elisa - yes I remember we did a Hardy's tour and a Purbecks one too, so saw loads of Dorset from Snowy the VW! Hope things are ok in Canada and that you'll be back for another trip when things are a bit more normal🙂!! Take care & stay safe!

Sunny Poole Bay- a solstice 30-miler started at sunrise has taken me over the thousand mark to the halfway point of 1,010miles on my charity walk!Thanks to those who’ve supported me – every £ helps NHS staff, volunteers & patients in ways govt funding can’t! #Dorsethour @TOGWalks

[Daren @DorsetDayTrips]

A lovely horse chestnut candelabra on a recent 15-miler, 800miles of my walk for NHS Charities Together done now. Many thanks to those who’ve supported me so far – every £ helps NHS staff, volunteers & patients in ways above&beyond what NHS funding provides! #Dorsethour @TOGWalks

[Daren @DorsetDayTrips]
