  2. I'm thinking the same tbh we have a pit stop caravan booked in North devon idea was camp in the van for a week all over devon a few day off in the caravan then plod back home.
    I like my quite and I'm not the most social person so a busy place with ques is not my idea of a summer holiday

    Yes, but as long as I do it in his bus it’s ok!
     
  4. I think this will be the reality for foreign holidays as well.

    Can see lots of people getting off flights to sunny Spain only to find the resorts are still restricted, pools closed, big queues for lunch and evening meals with restaurants and bars down to 50% capacity and reduced evening entertainment as well.


    Could well turn into a pretty miserable two weeks away.......

    And then an extra 2 weeks off work when you get back because somebody went on the plane so desperate for a holiday they covered up their symptoms then coughed around the resort.
    Being crammed on a plane was never fun even without the extra risk.

  7. I have several `secret spots` well off the beaten track , all they have is a bog and pub within walking distance .
    Never seen more than a couple of spaces taken and most are on farms so no dogs allowed which keeps numbers down , I`m pretty sure at least one would let me park mi bed in his field in the near future - Hurrah :thumbsup:


    Problem being they`re all `up North` so i may have to take `at least` a week :rolleyes:

    :hattip:
     
  8. Still waiting to see when guidance might give the OK to campsites etc opening and whether we can be bothered to go somewhere where nothing much is open.

  9. As said earlier, camping with no toilets or showers is essentially sleeping in a field, and if you can't walk to a nearby ale house for a few friendly jars, it'll just become a bit of an endurance test.

    I'll be happy to hang on until next year when* all of this will be but a memory.

  13. Hopefully the 4 of July, booked my regular CL 5 pitch club site, 100 meters between pitches so within guidance of the government and then some.no toilets or showers will be open but I have a porta poti and a plug in shower at the back of the van so all good, I would not go to a big commercial site in normal times the prices are astronomical, I only want to pitch up for the night some sites charge as if you buying the land, there are many Mr fiddlers out there, but now it not a POUND, it’s 10 POUNDS

  15. And a toilet and tent too, you'll look like like Lord Temple Meads with your assorted outbuildings.

    But that's a whole different gang of discussion.
