So basically, there are 3 mountains in the UK and I have 1 left to summit. However, the drive there is 7 hours and accommodation is minimum £75 per night so I'm thinking I should bring a tent and camp on the mountain instead. Any tips for this? I don't own a tent so or any camping equipment to be honest other than a pot so I'll probably spend as much on gear but at least I can re use it in the future. Also, I'm a bit worried because I remember last time I was looking into this I read in the news about a young guy like myself who died on Ben Nevis due to his tent blowing away!
Any tips on food I should buy? Safe and affordable stoves? Oh and is it even legal for me to camp on the mountain? I might accidentally camp on someone elses land... Hope I don't get any visitors lol... maybe I should buy a knife.

Never mind I've found a campsite I can rent a spot in at the base

You'll spend a lot more than 75 quid on a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad and stove.
But yeah, you can reuse it.

At first I thought you were retarded but then I read that you are British.

Camping in a cabin is clearly superior

It's summer right now, so you don't even need a tent. Just fin a calm spot near the base, get out your bivy (you do carry one for emergencies, right?), and you're good.

Seconding >>2824827. I'm also in the UK and I don't bother with a tent. Just a sleeping mat, blanket, sleeping bag if it's actually cold but it's not this time of year, and a tarp incase it rains. If its a dry night I just throw the mat down and sleep under the stars. No campsite either, I sleep where I want. Tents are a meme 98% of the time.
