We obviously like different things, nothing wrong with either choice . For us if we are to be indoors with the heating on we prefer to do it at home. We are a blue skies people and we tend to find heading south in the spring suits us better.

We would not be indoors with the heating on on our usual 15 day December break. Unlikel to go out Christmas day. On the arrival day it would be, put heating on, Pop out to Morrisons to do some shopping and have a bite to eat. The other 12 days we would have been out for around 5 hours having a walk and the odd coffee or food.

From April to October we are away together for 4 months and together 24/7. From November until March we re ships that pass in the night as I detest TV and OH probably turns it on bout 6pm. Our 15 day December break means that we get exercise and spend far more time together

I don't think that the decision makers had much option. Just look what has happened with the huge protests in Germany and France, who have had stricter lockdowns. It's no wonder that their cover numbers have jumped up so much from a lower base than we got to.

Agree that there's every chance of a spike following on from the holiday period, and I wonder too what will happen during the New Year celebration......strange that nothing has been mentioned about that week end.

Following the latest UK Government announcement regarding the end of the lockdown and a return to a regional tier structure in England, we are very pleased to advise that the majority of our Club campsites in England which would normally be open at this time of year will be reopening for stays from Wednesday 2 December.

We know many of you were disappointed to be unable to enjoy your planned stays during November and hope this latest news will be very much welcomed.

Club campsites open

Visit our information page here and view ‘Club campsites open’ for the full list.

Unfortunately, some of our campsites will be located within a Local Alert level of Very High (Tier 3) and therefore must remain closed for members and guests, including those who live in the local area.

Hi Rowena, I am confused! We live in Cumbria a level 2 area, but it looks like we could book to go to your Scotland sites, Melrose or Stonehaven, but I thought we weren’t allowed to travel and stay overnight anywhere in Scotland! Please can someone advise ?

Thankyou for this but it still doesn’t clarify why I can book a site such as Melrose because it states travel to and from other areas of Uk as essential travel only! Wales is clear . If you don’t live in Wales you can’t stay at Welsh sites and that is fine. I just wish Scotland would say you can or can’t travel from England to stay on sites!

https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-on-travel-and-transport/#travelbetween

if I have done that right, it takes you to the page where it says you should not travel between Scotland and other parts of UK for other than essential reasons.

And states that this applies to travel in or out.

The fact you seem to be able to book a site does not negate the rules.

That seems clear enough, Kjell, as if the 26th Nov. However it doesn't state whether or not those rules apply for "5 days of Christmas" .

What are the rules on travel?
Travel restrictions will be relaxed from 23 to 27 December to allow people to travel between local authority areas and the four UK nations to join a bubble.
If you are using public transport, the advice is to book ahead where possible and follow the rules on wearing face coverings while travelling.
Anyone travelling to or from a Scottish island should make their journey within the five-day period from 23 to 27 December.
Once you have arrived, you should then follow the travel guidance which applies in the area where you are staying. If that is in level three or four, for example, you would have to avoid any non-essential travel outside that council area.
