If one were thinking of spending a couple of weeks camping in the UK, &
wanted to keep in touch with the interweb from their (wifi-less)
campsite, & only had 500mb/month bundled with their phone, what's the
cheapest option?

Probably to buy a 30 day mobile internet bundle that has a few gig in
it for the phone and then cancel it when you get back.

don't.

Best plan is to find a cafe/pub with free wi-fi. Most do these days.

Or buy a PAYG SIM - you can get data browsing from 30p a day:

Anyone got any recommendations for getting cheap data charges when
abroad (Europe / Spain specifically)? I don't mind switching SIM cards
for the purposes of data access.

Ask Switters. He's currently doing just that. Which might account for him
not being seen here much lately.
