UK staycation boom predicted

Bit the bullet yesterday and booked a couple of 2/3 night breaks for end of March as I’m getting decidedly twitchy. Hope that by then we will have both had the vaccine and feeling a bit more confident although it maybe some time before we venture into restaurants etc. 
We managed 8 breaks away once the sites reopened last year, all reasonably local (within an hour’s travel) and felt safe and relaxed.

Got a call from Surgery this morning and they started by saying ‘ringing to book you for.....’. Unfortunately they carried on with ‘....for a Shingles vacination). I was so disappointed 

Good luck with your jabs, a bit thin on the ground in Wales, North anyway.

Buses? Oh the locals wish! There are 2 a day..... and one of those is the school bus..... (my sister’s hubby can no longer drive so journeys to Inverness need planning carefully). It is quiet, much quieter than the west side. We were towing a t/a the last time we were there, It is simply a case of steady as you go. It is not all single track and where it is there are generally good passing places. At Foyers it swings inland to get to Fort Augustus and that is a bit tight in places. You can cut also across to the Loch from the A9 south of Inverness and although that route has very little traffic (and is doable) am not sure i would want to without refreshing my memory on google street.  

Thanks!   We would be coming from the north, and have read that that is a recommended  route on the CCC website, the B852 I think, rather than down the west side and back up.    Then  ideally continuing south to Fort Augustus on departure as our next stop is Oban.  

We too will be towing a twin axle, our total outfit length when hitched is 12.75m.  So.....not really any buses......what about big lorries and tractors with trailers?

Having towed on plenty of single track roads in Scotland and Norway, it is mainly the frequency and width of the passing places that would worry me, as it looks like visibility ahead   may be limited due to the trees either side of the road?

We have booked June in Cornwall, cancelled from last year.  Will it happen?  Who knows?  Hopefully we should have had both jabs by then but we will still be avoiding crowds and busy places.  We have booked the Lakes in late April as well.  It’s good to have something to look forward to and we just have to hope things improve for all. 

Haven't booked any sites anywhere yet.

I can't see us getting out until nearer Easter or just after.

We have a ferry booked for 3rd week of April carried over from last year, can't see us getting over there then so will need to move it to later in the year, when I think it will be ok to go. We still have a tunnel crossing to use before the end of June that may be doable.

When we do get out I think we will stay within Scotland like we did to start with last year. We have a few sites/CL's that we are happy to go to and comfortable with.

We have lost our 3 weeks in Lanzarote in early March, as the flights have been cancelled. Full refund from Jet2 and our weeks moved to Nov/Dec. 

I agree with AD, give me quiet and boring any day to full on and buzzing. It will be the quiet sites in France that we will seek out when we return, Spain is a different story I'm not sure they do quiet

Thanks Tricia. We live in Flintshire and still waiting to hear from Betsi Cadwaladr. Apparently they are the ones making the appointments and directing you to the jab centre.

There's a lot of elderly folk getting a bit twitchy. Seeing as a Care Home in Mold was the first in North Wales to get the BionTech vaccine there shouldn't be a logistical problem with storage hereabouts.

Hope you're arranging to avoid the G7😂

Couldn’t have chosen a lovelier venue. I took Mum and Dad there back in 2001. Only for a coffee and a look around the beautiful gardens😂 I could be tempted to stay there though.
We have promised ourselves The Fowey Hotel one day. Nearest we have got is a few nights in the Old Ferry Inn at Bodinnick. Food is lovely in there.....😁

It appears that is happening on the first weekend of our holiday.  I doubt any will be staying on a campsite on Roseland! 😂
