Accommodation along the route

I'm cycling John O'Groats to Lands End in June with my wife coming along as support. Is there a thread on the forum recommending accommodation or can anyone recommend any? We're looking at B&B as our caravan will cost nearly £30 just to park.

Thanks
Mick

You'd be better posting this in the "Lands End to John o'Groats" sub-forum (just below this one) - ask a mod to move it for you.

Afraid I can't offer more help than that - haven't yet started planning my LeJoG.

B&B is not cheap - we usually spent between £55 and £70 per night for the 2 of us. My blog has some suggestions, depending on your route.

Where on earth are you planning to park? I have never found any camp site as expensive as that. You could divert off your route each night to a suitable site and then back to the start point next morning. A CL should not cost more than about £10. Try the Camping and Caravan Club for site info. Membership is not too dear.
