UK staycation boom predicted

Hi, I wont clutter this thread but there are others where the issue of prices is discussed and it may pay you to look, depending on your start and end points, at the western crossings.

Responding to posts on here and other forum, it is clear that prices have risen but, as an example, on my dates the Plymouth to Roscoff route is cheaper than Dover crossings and the tunnel.

Regarding staycations, I have seen a number of reasons put forward, the latest being that its a knock on from the vaccination program but, as TW says, it seems rather obvious but I would think that outside of the main school holiday season it will be, relatively, less manic.

Having said that our only outing last year was two weeks at Pentewan Sands, on a rally and the site was pretty much full.

Friends who visit us there each year decided they would book a beach side unit for a week so we could spend time together but in the end have had to settle for 3 nights in one unit and 4 in another, the most basic type, as that was the only things available and that's in September.

If,I understand correctly what Mr Raab has said on the AM Show this morning,booking "staycations"in 2021 may not be an entirely straight-forward  process.As I understand it the Tiering System may be in place for a substantial period in 2021.We have a series of tour bookings in place already for 2021 but it seems that Plan B might be required?

 

"If anyone fancies a fully-serviced, level, hardstanding pitch, five minutes drive from the beach -"

thanks but i have my own, in fact beautiful day today am just going to sit in my caravan, open the roof have morning coffee and read the newspaper, the only thing we dont have is a CDP. Keeps the caravan aired if you use it when you can

Took the precaution of re booking the same pitch on a site in Devon we used last year for the whole of September, for September this year, great site if you have to social distance as very large pitches with lots of room fore and aft, in fact woods behind, quite a large grassy area infront.

Living where we live it is easy to get away for a couple of days as and when we can get a booking, love Dorset area which is only a couple of hours drive. Was due to go overthere early April but think we are going to have to knock that on the head, but no big shakes always next year to look forward to.

  

I've booked throughout the year but really I don't expect to be away at Easter, summer maybe?

You may wish to avoid June!!

I’m thinking this country & the World will be a very different place to the 2019 World. There’ll be no carefree wandering into crowded situations for a lot of folk🤷🏻‍♂️. To the thinkers amongst us we will be constantly aware of ensuing problems re virus, new more powerful strains waiting in the wings. I think the Human species will take a step back from our normal gregarious natures to one of caution. Which in time will help everyone.

Oh, deep joy ☹

So far we have 10 nights booked in Yorkshire at Easter (fingers crossed) then a 3 week break booked in July for Devon and Somerset. Apart from that we have nothing else booked although may start looking at what to do for the May bank holidays if we are allowed out by then. 

We ended up doing 50 nights last tear after the lockdown was lifted in the summer and found all sites extremely busy and there did appear to be a lot of ‘newbies’ which I think is a good thing. It does seem that some just jump in though without thinking things through. We got chatting to a chap on site in Yorkshire in July he has just bought a large motorhome and paid around £70k for it but he found it too big to drive couldn’t leave site as he couldn’t park it, they didn’t like the layout and they found the site boring so they were advertising it for sale as soon as they went home obviously more money than sense lol.
