As soon as the lockdown is lifted.I ask because both my husband and I are over seventy and my husband has been notified that he is very vulnerable because of some health issues.I was thinking maybe a fully serviced pitch where we can use our own facilities?

We are also in the "it all depends" group, and expect it will be a while before we are allowed out and about anyway.

When we are, we will probably head north, using CLs if possible, and only if it is before the end of October.

We are not much into eating out or using public transport, but do enjoy some sightseeing and gentle walking.

You have all given me something to think about.We do like to see some new things sometimes but in the past we have travelled a lot and very widely.This has given us a good idea of the sort of things we like and don't like.We have a few old favourites in the caravanning world which we are missing but I guess they will still be there next year.

Once we get the all clear to travel and sites/CL's are once again open then yes we will be be going away.  

Sadly not abroad I fear, we will head North keeping away from crowds, using our own facilities. 

We rarely eat out or stop in coffee shops etc, much prefer to take a Picnic and find somewhere nice to park up for awhile. 

To be honest anywhere away from all the kids who off school winklaughing

BB, might even think about going away over winter wink

I managed a four day break at Wyatts Covert before all this kicked off. Today I had an outing to my local garage for an MOT and service, returning after a short detour along the motorway to blow the cobwebs out of the engine. I fear that may the extent of this years motorhome travels.

Very possibly, as we use quiet CL's where separation issues shouldn't be a problem, are used to using our own facilities, and although in the over 70s age group do not have any serious health problems (so far). Our main interests are getting out walking in the country, so we should be able to avoid crowded places, and unless meeting up with friends do not frequent cafes, pubs or restaurants. We'll just have to see what will be allowed when.

I am more or less resigned to the fact it will not be wise to go away for the rest of the year. I have already cancelled one trip for a voucher but still have one booked for January 2021 and I even feel that is in jeopardy.

I very much doubt we'll go anywhere this year. I need to be absolutely sure before I venture out and being away whilst constantly on edge and being watchful of others will be no fun at all.

A short simple answer which I totally agree with

Nobody can be sure when this virus will be gone so why have the worry

Isn't it strange how peoples priorities differ.

Everyone on here is very philosophical about all of this and yet over on the CAMC Facebook page people are raving about these discounted night vouchers. How many they've bought, how much they've saved and that they can't wait to get away to use them even to the point of where they are going and when.

Aren't people funny

When we are eventually allowed to travel we will go down to the static in Cornwall. We won't be "socialising" though! We'd normally use the local shops - butchers/ greengrocers etc but may decide to shop at home and take it with us. We will walk on the dunes and coast path away from other folk. But I'm not expecting that to be before September at the earliest (anything earlier will be a bonus) and, having just recently asked the neighbours to turn the heating off I've warned them that we might well be asking them to turn it on again eventually!

(We had two cottage holidays booked which we've already rearranged for next year and we have a holiday in Greece booked for October which we're pretty much assuming will be cancelled. frown )

We won’t budge until the sites reopen and we can see how the spacing works. We only ever use our facilities and won’t socialise until we’re sure the dangers minimised.  Probably continue supermarket deliveries and caravan round them.  Still looking forward to seeing a different view.
