Independent Hostel Guide
Sam Hardwick posted this on 22nd Apr 2010
I scored a free copy of the Independent Hostel Guide last week.
The guys at IHG ran a promotion in partnership with Berghaus the outdoor gear people and I snapped up one of the 500 free copies they were giving away. I’m a great fan of quirky affordable accommodation for curious travellers on a budget… The word ‘Hostel’ is a funny old word as it’s so broad that using it often either over plays or undervalues the accommodation offering.
I confess, I wasn’t expecting much from this little book, as my experience of UK hostels has been pretty hit and miss. But, this publication is Fantastic! It shows loads of places in the UK which I’m desperate to try out! It shows maps, photographs, facilities, contact details and approximate prices. Brilliant.
I would well recommend that you check it out. You can pick up a copy from their website http://www.independenthostelguide.co.uk/index.php or a book retailer like Amazon. Lets support these independent hostel guys and get some outside playtime.

Busy Planning
Sam Hardwick posted this on 12th Apr 2010
We’re in a funny old season with The Bivouac at the minute… we’re all working our socks off doing long days and dealing with dozens of people; we’re moving towards planning permission for the site and all of the intricate detail that goes with that.
I’m sorry I’ve been off the blog for a while… it’s a product of being buried in the planning detail; this means that most of what I have been doing isn’t really that exciting as well as not having had loads of time to day dream about the other stuff… the exciting stuff. But, it all seems to be coming together. Let’s hope we’re on target for our submission date.
I’m delighted the sun has come out too.
Better crack on.
