UK staycation boom predicted

Look like heaven! 

yes me too!

That is a place that gave heaven it’s good reputation. I’m surrounded by that too, great pic👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not us, OH has second jab 1st May and we will be off on the 4th May to a site we have used a few times in Dorset, should be moderately quiet as the site has quite a big tenting area and i expect most of that will be closed, unless of course more people are buying porta toilet tents . Off to read the Sunday paper in the caravan and listen to the radio, glorious day so like to use the caravan as much as we can even if it is not turning a wheel then out on the bike for an hour followed by a family Zoom, feels like my staycation has already started

I should say all beach side car parks in Stubbington are FOC, there are moves a foot to start charging but these have been fiercley fought against.

Try parking in Spains hotspots late June, July, August, lots of unofficial car parks set up where they rip you off to park on what would pass as a bad building site anywhere else, and if you dont want to pay you spend ages touring the streets to find a vacant space, and then have to hump your beach gear miles to the beach, and then horror of horror you forget where you have parked.

In Tarragona you have to pay to visit Mercadona

We will! (All being well being an important proviso!) We will head down to our van in Cornwall as soon as allowed. Won't be doing any socialising though, for a change! And certainly nowhere near the beaches.

Our 2nd jabs aren't due until the start of May and plans further ahead will depend on that but hopefully we'll also be able to take up our cottage booking in the Peak District at the start of the month. Can't wait! 

Um ... shouldn't the car be parked alongside the van, Goldie - and I think you've missed the white peg by some considerable distance! 

I have been advised of three places (not LA fitted) local to us that they have had to be removed as inacurate registrations have resulted in expensive disputes with vehicle owners

I have never had a problem with them both at the channel tunnel and my local hospital car parks which are all fitted with them. Same with the Aires that use them. The ones at our hospitals are equipped with intercoms and you can speak to security should you have a problem.

That is up the owners to decide how they recoup their costs. Canterbury charges are moderate because they want to encourage motor caravan owners to park out of town and the pub opposite is very grateful for the income it gets from the overnighters.

Me!
Booked Thursaston on the Wirral from the 11th for 3 nights. Had to cancel the first night when it was announced the sites wouldn’t open until the Monday but that’s fine. Can’t do more than 2/3 nights because of caring responsibilities.

We have also booked for the following couple of weekends Sunday - Tuesday. Don’t get our second jabs until the end of April but as we tend to camp carefully and can easily maintain social distancing then I have no concerns.

Hoping to get down to see our daughter in Bristol in May, camping in their drive as we usually do, so will hold off any further bookings until later.
