Hunt out those cheap package deals like Bear Grylls on the prowl for a rare wilderbeast. They’re out there, you just need to know where to look.

Off-peak times are the best to go. I know you might not necessarily go to school anymore but some people still do. This means Christmas, New Year, February Half Term and Easter Holidays are pretty much no-gos when it comes to booking a shred trip.

Other cheap options include pitching a tent in a winter campsite (not recommended if you generally need a piss in the middle of the night) or sleep in your car (bring a 4-season sleeping bag and twelve hot water bottles).

If you’d rather not contract hypothermia in the back on your van, Couchsurfing is a popular option. Stay on people’s sofa beds/floors for free – and pray their host are not sociopathic serial killers.

COST: Free – £300 for a week’s stay
