In reply to mypyrex:
Last year my parents babysat for a few days and we went of to the Alps for some climbing. We bivied under a boulder for a few nights near some great climbing in Austria. Best nights of the year.
I would rather be camping and being in the mountains then in some posh hotel.
However, once in a while, say once a year it is nice to stay in a nice place and enjoy luxury. But I would always choose camping/dossing/biviing over staying in a hotel. B&Bs are the worst. And they never have any breakfast when you need it, i.e. before 8, never mind 5am.
