A couple of caravan enthusiasts are set to embark on a mobile home journey of epic proportions.

According to BBC News, James Kenny and Donna Collins will celebrate their honeymoon by taking their Corniche built by Swift Caravans on a 10,000-mile journey across Europe.

The pair have invested in a caravan that is 25 years old - the same age as Ms Collins - and hope it will last the journey across Norway, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Spain, Portugal and a host of other countries.

Mr Kenny married his wife in a traditional ceremony in Yaxley, near Peterborough, on Saturday (July 31st).

The 26-year-old told the news provider that they are hoping to do the trip on the cheap, but that he has invested in a cheap plasma TV so he can still watch his Only Fools and Horses DVDs.

"People think we're completely insane or they think it's a great idea and wish they were doing something like it themselves," he was reported as saying.

Meanwhile, mobile home supplier Homestead Caravans has invested in a new workshop facility.
