Just for once I hope we'll get the sort of snow that only appears every few years! (So be prepared!)

We're not heading to NZ this year, can't think why! But you'd have a good chance to get your wish if we were. Beast from the east, once if not twice, our daughters wedding Febrauary 2013 she thanked the UK guests for not bringing the weather! We've been the last flight out of Heathrow on other ocassions too due to weather 🤣🤣🤣

I'm feeling very mixed about the 5 day window. I think we will get to see son and DIL plus their bubble and I know we'll be as safe as we can be, cos none of us mix! I wish I thought others would be as strict, but I know from long distance friends there's rumblings, one in tier 3 visiting London, cos they're bubbled 🤔😯 and include a hotel stay for themselves. I wouldn't have expected that from them!

Other festivals have been curtailed this year, one on the eve! I fear this is going to undo any good achieved by lockdown and tiers and January plus is going to be worse than now 😢

We had been booked to visit York for many months. As soon as I heard we were in tier 3, I knew we were not going to be able to go. Naturally we are very disappointed. I also knew that I had to cancel the booking. We were so disappointed that I couldn't bring myself to do it immediately, promising myself that I would do it this afternoon. Before I could do so I had a lovely phone call from the warden advising me that she would have to cancel our booking. I thanked her for her call and told her that as soon as we could travel, we would be rebooking. If you live in York, please be reassured that the club are protecting you and others staying on the site by ensuring that those of us unfortunate enough to be in tier 3 will not be travelling to the sites.

We are booked into a site in Devon from 23-30th December. We booked it so that we could visit our son who we have not seen for a year since he moved down there for his work. The only time he has any time off is between Christmas & New Year and our intention was to meet him for a day at the beach, socially distanced outdoors. We live in rural Lincolnshire but have been placed in tier 3. We haven't mixed with anybody at all since March, all our shopping is done online. I am concerned about the amount of traffic we will encounter if we have to travel back on the 27th as opposed to the 30th as originally planned unless of course, we drop back into tier 2 on the 16th. As someone else said, we are totally self sufficient in our motorhome, will take all our food with, we are booked onto a fully serviced pitch and the only thing we will need to do is walk the dog and empty the toilet.

I hope CAMC will confirm their plans for the 5 day Christmas break and whether all tiers are permitted on sites.

I hope they stick to what is being allowed now ,as the spirit of the 5 day break should not be taken as a free for all to do what they like?

I can't understand the attraction of caravanning at this time of year full stop.

Posted on 27/11/2020 20:06

I can't understand why one does not find the idea of caravanning at any time of the year attractive....but each to there own.

Regarding Christmas, I do find it curious that, with numbers apparently starting to flatten or reduce, and with the prospect of a vaccine on the near horizon, it is suddenly considered worth risking allowing big family meet ups for the 5 days. I accept that many, many families will be longing to do this, but wasn't it said not long ago that households mixing indoors was one of the prime drivers behind the spread of the virus? Surely it would be worth sacrificing this one period for the sake of the long term good?

Posted on 27/11/2020 20:23

I guess all the heads of the regional governments knew that whatever restrictions they tried to impose over the Xmas period would be ignored by a very large number of their citizens. Trying to police those restriction would have been a nightmare so they've decided that perhaps with the relaxation no more, and possibly even less families will decide to mix. I think whatever they had decided to allow they were on a no-win situation.

I think you're probably right Nellie, but the message that "we think you'll ignore the rules so we'll relax them anyway" hardly inspires confidence in the decision makers!
