Thanks Alan, some good info I think I will book up with YHA. Do you get discounts there if you join the UK YHA? Most of the reviews I have read for the YHA have been good, a lot better than some of the others that I was looking into. I am not a fussy person so if most other people are happy there then I'm sure it will do for me, it will probably only be for a short time anyway until I decide where to go from there. Thanks for the help
