There are so many options available to us in this modern age. With the Internet, it's become increasingly easy to discover new places and things to see & do. This means that good places are listed for all to see and hidden gems remain hidden no more.
Finding a place to go during peak holiday times such as the weekend when the kids break up from school, can be neigh on impossible to those unwilling to look hard enough. On these busy times, main routes are chock-full as hoards of families take to the roads. Accommodation has already been pre-booked up in advance and finding anywhere to stay last minute near a beach is a no-go zone in the UK.
This is the time when I like to leave the decisions to fate. As I for one, like to include an element of adventure and spontaneity in my travels that most cannot stomach - particularly at these most busy times of year. I always have a tent in the car just in case, but there is always a hidden little gem - a cancellation, a discount for last minute or a quiet, picturesque place to stay, just a short distance from the hot-spots where one can enjoy the serenity of nature and a breakfast in solitude watching the wildlife go about their day.
