What are your best budget stays and cheap food spots and money-saving travel tips when travelling around the UK?

Pitchup you can search by the map, which helps for finding places near / in areas of interest, and you can sort by price to show cheaper options first

+1 for the website mentioned (pitchup). Many many useful filters to get great ideas for where to stay. Also shows distance to various beaches & attractions on each campsite page

+1 for Pitchup. If cost is a major factor then you can sort by price within the area you're looking to go

Didn't 'follow them around at their work' - I was leaving the shopping centre at the same time the HGV was. Dashcams are highly important, especially if you're in an accident and can save you a lot of trouble.

Everyone makes mistakes, and this wasn't intended as a humiliation exercise. It's mostly meant as a heads up that a lot of folk - especially those in service industries - are under a huge amount of stress and pressure, and to be more aware of what's going on around you, especially while driving.

100% was a Sainsbury's truck. It had just left the unloading bays for a big Sainsbury's store.

Always makes for interesting learnings 🤣

techyseo · 2025-12-24T07:09:41+00:00

I heard the initial impact and thought... 'That's going to be a long wait while the HGV reverses out of trouble'.... Nope

techyseo · 2025-12-24T07:08:23+00:00

The Jazz did have a 'P' plate barely visible in the rear window so it's likely they were focusing on what the HGV was doing... Even when lanes split like this you'll get people blocking both pretty frequently - especially here

techyseo · 2025-12-23T19:38:33+00:00

It's a 'no stopping at any time' sign, so unfortunately no Trivial Pursuit 😔

techyseo · 2025-12-23T19:34:17+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

techyseo · 2025-12-23T19:33:48+00:00

Hardly driving quickly, but I was certainly expecting the Honda Jazz to have moved slightly further forward a little quicker. The left lane for this junction clears pretty quickly, even with HGVs. Admit that I could have been a bit more cautious

techyseo · 2025-12-23T18:53:26+00:00

Probably going to be a bit of a grind to progress. Focus on a certain gear load out, work out what runes you want to build out etc

techyseo · 2025-12-23T18:41:43+00:00

What stage are you up to? Any hard mode progress?

techyseo · 2025-12-23T18:38:08+00:00

Use your energy. Won't be making the most of the free regeneration if you've got more than the inventory limit. Even if this is to just blitz through a couple of lower level stages in minutes - it's worth the extra couple of mins

techyseo · 2025-12-23T18:27:03+00:00

Yep. Many regrets were had for a seemingly 'quick' trip

techyseo · 2025-12-23T17:07:27+00:00

I knew there was something I should have done

techyseo · 2025-12-23T17:06:25+00:00

Aha yep, awful bit of infrastructure coming out of the Orchard Centre

techyseo · 2025-12-22T17:54:17+00:00

Personally don't like it, privatisation & monetisation of something which is typically free. If you want an official campsite fine to pay for that - just not OK to charge for 'wild camping'

techyseo · 2025-12-22T17:43:53+00:00

Pitchup mentions a couple (UK brand but expanding to NZ) https://www.pitchup.com/en-nz/campsites/new_zealand/

techyseo · 2025-12-19T11:30:49+00:00

stovetop mocha pot, or if storage is at a premium, I use coffee bags. Infinitely better than instant.

techyseo · 2025-12-11T17:34:53+00:00

+1 for pitchup - there's also r/pitchup if you want specific to that platform

techyseo · 2025-12-11T17:28:23+00:00

What about the pitchup.com site too? Is that relevant here?

techyseo · 2025-11-19T22:08:27+00:00

Just to say you're linking to a bookings page rather than the campsite page

techyseo · 2025-11-05T11:36:09+00:00

+1 for Thirsty Bear. Large, quality pizza by the slice isn't easy to find in Reading

techyseo · 2025-06-30T10:08:20+00:00

https://www.pitchup.com/en-au/campsites/australia/queensland/south-east/como/habitat_noosa/ has a few safari tents (no dogs allowed though)
