Real places. Forgotten stories. Two blokes, two dogs, and a campervan.

We're Daryl and Keith — and together with our dogs Nab and Bay, we travel the UK uncovering the quirky, surprising, and sometimes moving history hidden in plain sight. From windswept castles to wartime crash sites, remote cairns to Neolithic stones — this is the kind of history that rarely makes the guidebooks.

We’re not travel vloggers. We’re not historians. Just two curious minds in a campervan, following the clues — and the coffee.

Campervan Tales

An early morning start in our next video, out on Friday, so that we could get this place to ourselves.
If you are a fan of the Outlander TV series these stones might seem familiar to you. They were used as the model for a fictional stone circle near Culloden called Craigh na Dun. The stones are depicted in the show as having time-travel abilities when touched.
When we touched these stones, we didn't travel anywhere else, apart from back to the van. Listen out too for a piece of music, words by Daryl, music by AI.

This video is a few years old now, but if you haven't seen it, it is still one of our favourite videos and we think you might like it too.

A tale of a strange grave surrounded by chains in this churchyard. A tale of vampires.

Barra Airport is the only airport in the world where scheduled flights land on a tidal beach—with the runway disappearing completely beneath the sea at high tide.
You can see our visit to the airport when our Outer Hebrides series continues in 2026

Campervan Tales

It's difficult to comprehend that it is 37 years ago today  that we all heard about the loss of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie with the loss of so many lives both on the plane but also  residents of Lockerbie itself.  We were privileged to be able to visit the memorial room at Tundergarth Kirk, just yards from where the nose cone of 103 came to rest. The memorial room is extremely moving and humbling and if you ever are in that part of Scotland it is somewhere you should visit.  We made a video about our visit, as this act of terrorism is something that should not ever be forgotten and in our own small way, hopefully honour those who lost their lives that night.

Advent Day 21

Hango Hill looks peaceful enough — but history says otherwise.
Once, this was a place where crowds gathered, justice was performed, and lives ended publicly.
We’ll come back to that story in our Isle Of Man Series in 2026

Advent Day 20 

Tynwald Hill doesn’t shout for attention — but it has been listening for over a thousand years.

No walls. No roof. Just people, laws, and tradition spoken out loud.

Some places don’t change history.

They keep it. If you want to see our visit, make sure to subscribe to see our trip.

Advent Day 19

A quiet Manx road.
A man buried by the wall because power didn’t want him remembered.
A bishop honoured across the way, carved into stone.
And between them, ravens — watching, not judging.

The island remembers both.
