Dacia’s Bucket List Fund has wrapped up after helping six winners turn their dream outdoor trips into reality. Launched in June 2026, the fund invited people across the UK to submit their ultimate summer adventure ideas, with successful applicants receiving up to £5,000 in funding, the use of a Dacia Bigster or Duster, and multimedia tools to capture their journeys.

The winning trips covered everything from birdwatching across Britain to eclipse-chasing through Europe, surf missions, mountain adventures and road trips through some of the most scenic landscapes. Each journey showed a different side of adventure — from family time and wildlife spotting to spontaneous detours and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

One winner travelled more than 2,000 miles around Britain with his son, visiting 23 RSPB reserves and spotting 163 bird species. Another completed a 3,005-mile European road trip to see a solar eclipse, crossing France, Spain and Andorra along the way.

The campaign reflects Dacia’s outdoor spirit and its focus on practical, capable vehicles designed for real-life journeys. More than anything, the Bucket List Fund showed that adventure does not always need to be extreme or expensive — sometimes it starts with a good idea, the right support and the confidence to say yes.

For drivers, it is also a reminder that great journeys begin with a vehicle you can rely on. Whether it is a local trip, a long-distance drive or a summer adventure, regular servicing, checks and maintenance help keep every journey safer and smoother.
