[Deleted member 6852]

Well after reading the main stream media this morning , it looks like our easter trip , may bank holiday and spring bank trip will probably be cancelled. Fingers crossed we still get to go to Padstow in July .

Our Easter trip to StIves (Cornwall not Cambridge) looks in doubt.

Unfortunately its looks fairly 100% that no one will be going anywhere at easter, gutted

Same here, we cancelled 3 last year and rescheduled them for this year and now we’re going to have to reschedule again.

Really pissed off with lockdown right now, I’m usually mentally a strong person but I’ve literally had just about enough of the current lockdown.

Its really, really shit isn`t it.
I am lucky enough to still be going out to work everyday, otherwise I think I would have lost it by now.

I feel your pain, always felt like the strong one in my circle of friends. But my job has me travelling all over Europe and whilst I am still working haven't left home for work since last March. I just need to get out it's crazy, all of my friends and family can still go to work (Physically) so interact with people every day. I get a few phone calls and some video meetings. I'm lucky, I've worked through all the way but I do this jobs because staying in the office / at home drives me mad.

I can count the people I have spoken to in person on both hands...

Looks like Easter is screwed, but fingers crossed for late April / May. The one ray of light is that we could camp when we weren't allowed overnight stays in people houses before, and the only info we have at the minute is sanitised (enflamed / twisted) by the press.

i think Easter was always going to be a no no after the post Christmas spike in January...

obviously details are sketchy atm but hopefully the 'slowly slowly' approach they seem to be taking this time will mean a more controlled and consistent exit...

i'm also with you chaps that this time is ALOT harder. fingers are very firmly crossed...

 

[Ricardo T]

Yup....there is light.....at the end of the tunnel, and more in the evenings too now!
Spring is on its way.....the snow has all gone....heating turned down...birds are singing....its all looking up from my point t of view...especially as VW have just sanctioned my gearbox repair under warranty!!

Looks like we can go from 12th April whoopee...

Depends on whether they expect units to have their own toilet facilities from 12th April.
Watching this one closely as we have a site booked from 16th April.

The extract below is from the detailed document accompanying today’s announcement. It is from the 12th April section.
It seems to effectively state that campsite shower/toilet blocks can not be open.

I'm not convinced that is a reference to camp sites.

This has been the problem from day 1. The Government make announcements that are sometimes confusing or difficult to understand, followed by these guidelines that don't really clear up the confusion.

While there's no way I want to sound like one of Trumps red capped warriors the right to bare arms and legs is enshrined in the Caravan and Camping Club rule book.
I've said before that there's no way I'll use wet wipes but the wife can operate the Karcher well enough to avoid an involuntary colonic so as far as we're concerned unless the site is barricaded we're camping at Malvern in May... hopefully

So would rule apply to all the other areas openning up? So basically there will be no toilet facilities anywhere that is open from 12th April?

I really hope not ? I would of thought that most sites already have covid safe shower/toilets facilities as these were set up last year.

The guidance says bathing areas. Some public toilets are still open now.

Wasn't this the case in a previous lockdown? I thought that some campsites opened as long as you had your own facilities?

I'm with @Tourershine ... major campsites e.g Searle at Hunstanton are planning to open from 12th April. I have spoken to them and they have updated their website. Also a site in Kent confirmed the same.
