Travelling around Britain isn’t always cheap. But there are ways you can keep the cost down
Holidays on home soil are likely to be the first we can take this year. Alas, travelling around Britain isn’t always cheap. But there are ways you can keep the cost down.
You can legally wild camp in Scotland and Dartmoor, or stay in a mountain bothy for free (when covid rules allow; mountainbothies.org.uk). And then there’s camping, of course: last year, on a three-day walk from my front door, I paid £7.50 a night, cooked couscous on my stove and spent a fiver on the bus back home. That might not be everyone’s idea of a bargain – some might prefer, say, access to a shower – but I felt I got a lot of experience for my money. And that’s perhaps the way to judge a British break; not on cost, but on value.
