Our Story
The story of LeisureBit begins long before its launch in 2021. It all started when David was a teenager with a dream and a passion for adventure.
Let's step back to the late 1980's and early 1990's where the story begins...
David's Teenage dreams
I vividly remember the day I looked at and old British Telecom yellow van at an auction with a view to convert it into a mobile home. It was a project born out of a desire for freedom and the thrill of exploring new places. That idea became my vision, a symbol of endless possibilities and the beginning of a lifelong journey.
As the years went by, my love for travel and exploration only grew stronger. I spent countless hours discovering hidden gems and experiencing the beauty of the world firsthand. These adventures were not just about the destinations, but also about the stories and memories created along the way. It was during these travels that I realised the importance of leisure and the joy it brings to our lives.
Rachel's Childhood Memories
When Rachel was six, her parents bought a Sprite caravan, and that little home on wheels became the heart of my childhood adventures. It was our ticket to countless holidays—just Mum, Dad, my sister, and me. Some of my happiest memories were made in that caravan, exploring new places and sharing simple joys as a family.
The Isle of Wight stands out in my mind. I remember catching newts in a pond and visiting Blackgang Chine, where I spent hours crafting tubes of colored sand to give as gifts. Scotland was another favorite destination. My dad loved meeting the local fishermen as they brought in their daily catch, and we’d feast on the freshest fish you can imagine. Then there were our trips to the Lake District, where the landscapes were as breathtaking as the adventures we had together.
That little Sprite caravan was more than just a vehicle—it was a time machine to the happiest days of my childhood. It carried us to new places, brought us closer as a family, and gave me memories that I’ll treasure forever.
