Walking Land's End to John o'Groats with Mark Moxon

Doing the Walk Yourself: Accommodation

Planning your accommodation is one of the most frustrating (not to mention expensive) aspects of a long walk like this, but unless you're a robot who doesn't need to sleep, hunting for a nightly bed is an unavoidable chore. After three months, you get used to it!
