Looking directly at the Government web site, it looks like the above has been ammended. My earlier statement came from the latest BBC news on restrictions!

The relevent paras for Tier 2 state;

You can continue to travel to venues or amenities which are open, but should aim to reduce the number of journeys you make where possible

if you live in a tier 2 area, you must continue to follow tier 2 rules when you travel to a tier 1 area. Avoid travel to or overnight stays in tier 3 areas other than where necessary, such as for work, education, youth services, to receive medical treatment, or because of caring responsibilities.You can travel through a tier 3 area as a part of a longer journey.

I still standby my last sentance and will not be going anywhere.

According to Government guidence campsites should be closed in Tiers 2 and 3.

Quotes from Tier 2 Guidence

Meeting friends and family

You should stay at home except for specific reasons including education, work (if it can't be done from home), exercise, medical needs, food and other essential shopping and to provide care.

Leisure Time

Hotels, hostels, guest houses and campsites are closed except in certain circumstances (such as where they are someone's main residence, or where it is essential to stay there for work purposes).

Why on earth anyone wants to go away in the current climate is beyond me.

Hi Peedee, You ask why on earth anyone would want to go away in the current climate. In my case, now that I know some campsites are open and it will be within the law to travel to them to stay, I have decided to book a short stay at Broadway club site. My reason for doing so is so that I can get some exercise in a different part of the country to where I live. I can't think of anything better than walking in the Cotswolds on a cold frosty morning. I will be very aware of the dangers about me and using my own facilities. I don't consider it will be anymore dangerous than staying at home. I respect your decision not to want to go away, but I also understand those who wish to take a short break.

We would also have considered it if we had ended up in tier 2, rather than 3. MH is already full of fuel, for 3 /4 days we would have taken all our food and been totally self contained. Walked in some different countryside. OK, I suppose we could break down or have a road accident which would increase risks to others. Although that could happen near home when I take it for its monthly run round.

We're in tier 2, we know our local patch so are more aware of local outbreaks and increases specific to a place. I would like to think we could travel locally in the SW tiers 1 & 2 but I think it will be days out in the M/H rather than longer stays until infection rates really start to drop. I see SW sites are busy for the New Year.

I know Hertfordshire very well, lived in Tring for many years, MIL still lives there and my OH, who is her official carer visits everyother week staying for approx 5-7 days per stay depending on circumstances.

As said before, we are lucky living where we live and having the caravan on a hardstanding next to bungalow, if sun shining often sit in front to read the newspaper and listen to radio.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Brue, but I think the tiered rules mean that I can visit a pub in Cornwall and order my pint to drink at a table, whereas if you visit you'll need to still follow T2 rules so can only order your pint if it's accompanied by pasty and chips🤔🤷‍♂️🙂
