Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Good luck HB. I’m not thinking about any sort of travel ‘til we can travel, if that makes sense

Perfect sense DT. The hills will still be there in 2022 or 2023... in fact they will still be there long after I'm gone.

Except that by the time we can travel in the UK there'll be nothing left to book - there's very little on the big booking sites now -

I think family hol will be September, hopefully after kids are back at school

(I'd like some sort of family hol for my menfolk, who have been working throughout and not from home)

Hardly surprising with the lack of certainty. Very challenging time for the entire industry.

I’ve gambled even earlier and booked a couple of cheap fully refundable nights at a lakes travelodge over the Easter weekend .... it’s looking more unlikely but we’ve nothing to loose by booking whilst there are cheap ish rooms available ....

We've booked a cottage week in the second half of April, so I'm hoping Devon and Cumbria will be in lower tiers by then to permit us to travel. Also still have one eye on The Lap in May.

forgot about The Lap - but I think it's too early for me this year, I'm so far behind on my mileage!

Still hoping Lakeland Trails Coniston marathon will happen in June, have booked a room for me +1 just in case

I'd pretty much bank on everything pretty much shut until may/June and then gradual reopening.

Optimistically....

Schools back in march.

Back to tier system (with everywhere in tier 3/4 to start with) by may-ish. Including regional travel restrictions like before Christmas

Possibly slow return to "normal" (tier 2) in some places by July/aug and then slowly into tier 1 by the autumn.

Full "normality" by spring 2022. With closed leisure centres/pubs/restraints/businesses etc that have gone under due to lack of support.

That's my best guess for those looking at booking stuff.

And I'd not be surprised if spikes caused setbacks as we go.
