Free Camping Sea-view dining, sleeping to the sound of the waves and bagging beachside accommodation needn’t cost the earth. Hayley Spurway finds some of the best free camping locations across Spain and Portugal. Over two months on the road in the camper van our accommodation costs came to grand total of €19. That’s pretty impressive for a family of four and a dog, considering the average cost of a campsite in Europe is €25 per night. Websites like furgovw.org list free camper van locations Europe-wide, but we found our own gems by heading away from the maddening crowds and following rutted tracks seaward.

I started developing all sorts of injuries, from pains in my knee to stress fractures to tendonitis. I was devastated, but also too stubborn to give up. Over the months I had spent working on every aspect of my body, I hadn’t spent a single minute working on the way my body moved. So that you can avoid the same mistakes I made, I’ve written down my top five basic pointers on running technique: 1.
