Dont see any topics on the britstop book here.
Would it be worth it, approx 43 euro, for a week away?
Anyone any experience?

There was discussion on it a few years ago when they were trying to sort out places in Ireland. Nothing much springs to mind about its use on the mainland.

We used it about 2 years ago, (still have book butyouhave to have current year sticker on windscreen. We stayed a few places, at a pub and at a fruit farm ( we were the only ones there overnight in a big field as shop shut at 6 pm. We even stopped at an organic place though didn’t stay overnight. We probably spent more on meal/ produce than an overnight campsite stop, though they were all very nice. We noticed pages missing and others repeated, contacted them, as it happened he was on our route and we pulled into his village and he gave us a new book.
If considering ACSI, they are mainly down Cornwall area, 3 in Wales but very few other parts of UK.
Even Caravan and Camping, when you live in ROI you don’t get the newsletters or the big book and only one main campsite near Downpatrick, with a few CLs around.
If anyone an experience with Campercontact app in UK maybe that would be better?

There seems to be a lot of sites alright, and they all seem in really nice spots, but for a week, i dont know if it would be practical.
Might just stick to the plan and hope for the best ^_^

Brit stops is a great idea and works well, I have used it quite a few times.

They now include Irish stops which was my idea and he was given permission to use those Irish Stops on MHC at the time, however he does not take other peoples stopovers.

You could just use this:
