A Greater Manchester couple have returned from a three-year tour around Europe in their motorhome.
Chris McClenan and Catherine Warrington from Ramsbottom decided to sell their home and embark on the once in a lifetime trip which has seen them visit some of the most magnificent sights around the continent.
In an interview with the BBC, the couple explained that even though they had everything in place they traded it all for trekking across Europe in their motorhome, named Hector.
During their three-year trek they managed to visit each of the 47 countries within the continent crossing over 67,000 miles with Catherine naming the Northern Lights in Iceland and the midnight sun in Norway as her favourite sights.
She added: “It’s been the best three years of our lives” and that other like minded people should “follow their dream” if they want to do the same.
The couple now intend to live in Hector permanently and have set up a business selling motorhome accessories for fellow campers.
