We've just planned an end to end trip across the uk. So far, for 3 of us, it has cost around £500 for accommodation for a week. And that's just a night in each place and they're not fancy or anything.
We booked all the places in advance on recommendation from a friend who has done the winging it approach previously. His experience of winging it on the continent was several hours spent looking for a good place to sleep, and quite often getting charged an inflated rate, particularly the later in the day it got.
Depends what you want to do, maybe book your key places and rough it/camp in between. Wild camping is acceptable on the continent! I'd at least chuck in one of those tiny backpacking stoves to brew up in between stops if its really rural!
