Our first self-organised multi-day hike during a week of annual leave. Colleagues raised an eyebrow and suggested we have a long, hard think about what constituted a holiday.

BUDGET

We spent £383.93 each on the Hadrian’s Wall Path, our biggest cost was accommodation at £104 each with two nights in bunkhouses, the rest camping. That’s based on two people sharing though, if you’re hiking alone that’ll double your campsite costs.

Our next biggest expense was eating out at £80.97 each because we’re greedy bastards and we like nice food. We spent £46.79 each on other snacks and food, including those obnoxiously expensive dehydrated backpacker meals. We spent £11.60 each on booze and £3.22 on tea/coffee.

Transport cost us £43.70 each, including the bus to our second night’s campsite and back, the train back to Carlisle and the taxi back to Bowness-on-Solway.

Sightseeing: £14 each.

Car parking for the week: £25.

Souvenirs: £9.75.

You could easily do this hike way cheaper than we did.
