Original source: Вокруг света

Cat Cross, 49, and Stuart Hall, 48, from South Wales, sold all their possessions and bought a Mercedes Sprinter motorhome to travel the world. Over four years, they have covered more than 40,000 kilometers across the UK, Europe, and Africa, visiting over 15 countries. The couple spends between £900 and £1,200 per month on their travels, which is less than the rent for their previous home in Cardiff. They earn money by running a blog and creating travel guides.

Their monthly expenses are £900–1,200, significantly lower than the rent on Kath's four-bedroom home. The couple earns income through Kath's online business and Stuart's truck driving, and they run the Vanagination blog.

Residents of Fisherrow have objected to plans for campervan parking as part of the Musselburgh Active Toun (MAT) project, fearing it will attract more vehicles and worsen parking and anti-social behaviour. East Lothian Council denied plans for paid overnight parking but acknowledged considering designated motorhome spaces in a consultation open until September 16.

A gang of thieves raided Chelston Motorhomes in Summerfield Way, Chelston Business Park, at about 11 pm on Sunday, August 23. Three motorhomes were stolen and several other vehicles damaged. All three stolen vehicles were later recovered from local streets. Police are investigating, have gathered forensic evidence, and are asking for CCTV, doorbell, or dashcam footage from the relevant areas.

Signs banning campervans from overnight parking at Salt Grass Lane, Keyhaven, have been ripped off metal poles for the second time. The restrictions were introduced in December after locals complained about campers staying for weeks and dumping waste water into the sea. Hampshire County Council plans to reinstate the signs and add anti-vandal fixings.

Firefighters spent the night at the scene of a grass fire near the village of Hopeman in Moray. Six appliances and a wildfire unit were sent to the scene at around 16:30 on Tuesday, with four appliances remaining at first light. Footage showed flames and dense smoke next to a campsite containing campervans and caravans. Lossiemouth Community Council said there were believed to have been some power cuts as a result of the fire.
