Those who prefer pub accommodation will find plenty of choice; breakfast is often included and evening meals and drinks easily available. The cheapest options include basic bunkhouses – a number of these are convenient for the route. They are well worth considering if you want to cut costs by sharing dorm-style rooms or have a large group. Some cycle tourers choose to load their bikes with camping equipment.
