UK staycation boom predicted

Following Assembly briefing today it may be a tad early to book sites in Wales. However it looks like "self contained  accommodation" may open by Easter. That could be M/H and Caravans with en -suite facilities and perhaps like previous with facility blocks closed. Fingers crossed we are moving out of lockdown.

How do you enforce that? Does a en-suite bucket in the back of a van qualify?

Well, a short dip into South Somerset has blown me away. Might need another fortnight going home. Found some very promising CLs as well, a good mix of all the sorts of stop overs we love. 😁

I am not sure that the boom will see much difference locally, Cornwall, as the places that are likely to be busy will have been so anyway, in peak holiday times.

But, maybe, it will persuade, those that can, to holiday at different times and spread the load which will benefit everyone.

We are booked to be on ‘staycation’ in June and September, on club rallies, and will leave the August angst to others.

A few well placed severe humps would go a long way to curtailing the antics of the boy racers. There’s no reason why anybody needs to travel the gorge at more than 10mph and tearing off those big exhaust pipes is expensive!

We only had two site stays last year but on both the facility blocks were open.

We felt totally comfortable with the arrangements, especially at the larger site, and have booked again for this year.

We don’t expect, or want, to be all touchy feely with our site neighbours but having to be ‘self contained’ suggests arriving on site, staying in the van, having no interactions,  then going home and that does not appeal.

If you're wondering about places to visit this is a really excellent web site,  Discovering Britain....HERE there are maps with pinpointed walks and places of interest.

That was mentioned in a program just recently,  they're looking at ways to reduce speeds in the gorge

Let’s put it this way. Some of the comments sounded a bit get out of my town type comments.

We are so, so lucky to live where we do so for me a staycation could mean not even leaving home!

Feeling as lucky as we do we are more than happy to see people visiting, and enjoying, our lovely county and of course those visitors provide a living for many local people.

So far as the effect on locals, most have coping strategies, for the peak periods, anyway-from going away somewhere exotic, like Cheshire, to knowing how to get to Penzance without going via Hayle.

Avoid the supermarkets on Saturday afternoons or Sundays and don't go anywhere that will require you to park when its raining-because everyone else will have had the same idea!

We have been out quite a bit, due to a lot of medical appointments, and it really hits home that you cant do anything, so cant wait to just sit and have a pint or a meal and I can assure you the places that provide that wont survive on my trade alone so................come on down!
