UK staycation boom predicted

The whole situation is hedged about with so many "ifs" and "buts" that we have made no bookings before June.I have been in an effective "lockdown" since iI was diagnosed with cancer Nov.2019 ,so kind of habituated to it now🙈Anyway the C is behind me now and awaiting Jab no 2 but travel plans on hold until situation clearer.Making the best of it by getting the builders in and getting my OH off my back re "home improvements"😕Once that "pain" has passed "off to the Races and sod what it costs!It is only money and believe me you really cannot take it with you🙏.

l have booked Bridlington one week in every month from April until October (we usually go twice anyway), we have decided that due to the stay cations most places will be busy, hopefully northeast coast not quiet so. it gives us everything we want. We were planning new forest trip but were afraid the traffic down south off putting. We live on the East Cheshire boarders between Derbyshire Lancashire area so its much easy to get to North Yorkshire.At least with being a member of the club the prices stay relative stable with no profiteering, like the big sites are doing. The only thing that concerns me is if we see an increase in outfits unfit for the road due to people hoping to get away for holidays, or even those that have never towed before raking havoc on the roads.

If people are worried about traffic caused by everyone staying in the UK whether, where it is possible for people to do so, they should perhaps consider travelling on a weekday? For short four day trips away we usually travel Monday and return home on Friday and it seems to work OK. I appreciate there is likely to be more commercial traffic around during the week but it's usually the weekends where the general working public travel which causes excess traffic? Just a thought.

I would not be booking or planning any holiday in Scotland until after the planned May elections!Who knows what she will do!!!

Listening to Neil Oliver on "Talk Radio" this morning was very illuminating re that topic "Nonplussed".

I will go no further, lest I get into trouble.

Yes,you must not mention anything which could be construed to be in any way political by the moderators!Just one point about the tier system in Scotland....It could also stop residents from holidaying in another part of scotland!I will say no more on the matter!!

I wish you well H.  We normally stay on a CL just down the road from the Club site (High Breame).  We were there last July and Brid was absolutely heaving and as a consequence we didn't go off-site that much.  The CL is fully booked this year and the earliest we could get in is the end of October!

Living only 15 miles away - and I'm on the beach every morning with the dog, there is already evidence of visitors being here. According to local gossip, those from another part of Yorkshire - with statics in the various holiday parks, have been told they're OK to stay, providing they 'keep a low profile'!

The CL is fully booked this year and the earliest we could get in is the end of October!

Should have been at High Breame last week of March...Just spoke with John to see if he had any dates end of April....not a chance....every day booked solid. Going to Cayton Village instead to see what the club has done with the site.

I looked on the Tranquil sites web site and the adults only, there are a lot of sites with less than 100 pitches, most fully svcd that had dates available, just booked one down in Cornwall, and most were very reasonably priced, the only draw back is, for most you have to pay a deposit, which of course you do not have to do with the club, but the one we have booked protect your deposit against another covid lock down by offering you a return of funds or new booking dates.

We've stayed with John and Kim, twice a year, ever since they opened but it looks as if this year, we will have to give it a miss.  Although we have spent three Christmases there, we don't do that any more because the ground tends to get a bit boggy at that time of the year Think I'd better put a booking in for 2022!
