    Apart from B&B/hotels there are four levels of accommodation for outdoor people in places like the Dales, Lakes and Peak which generally fit these descriptions/price levels

    camping - on a site with a tent, basic washing facilities - £5+
    camping barns - don't need a tent but do need sleeping bag and usually a mattress. Basic cooking facilities - £7
    bunkhouse - have bunk beds but need sleeping bag, basic cooking facilties - £10
    youth hostel - have bunk beds with all bedding provided, better cooking facilities - about £16 upwards (+£3 if not a member). Meals optional (OK but not outstanding quality or value like they used to be). Pros: slightly cheaper than B&B and often in where there is not much alternative accommodation. Cons: lack of privacy/possible noise/debatable whether VFM.

    Yes must not forget that. Could be something for the future Darth - a self-sufficient bivvy weekend on a two day route . I recommend Ronald Turnball's Book of the Bivvy for any beginners interested in that sort of thing - an excellent read full of info and ideas.

    If the accomodation is close to a station and not too spartan and institutional - ham in!

    PS that link to the bunkhouse was blocked by my work internet filters! What kind of a place is it?!!
