We’re giving it serious thought.
We’ve been 18 months UK locked.
Anyone else thinking of going over soon?

Most of my life in one form or another
After having to cancel and rearrange a few trips over the last 2 years we are going to try and get over to Bruges in Belgium later this year.
Not booking anything until closer to the time just in case.

Just a tad..
We were booked for Monday 17th… bottled it this week and rebooked for 9th Feb… driving straight down to SE Spain, then meandering back up as the weather warms up, culminating in two weeks fishing in France last week of April and first week in May… can’t wait! 😎

May I ask how old your son is ?
He is 12 so they have only had a single vaccination so considered not vaccinated to travel to most other countries unless they have two. The second is coming but you have to wait 3 months.

Thanks, our eldest grandson is 13, I have booked a trip with him but he’s not had his second vaccination yet.

If we can't get to Spain soon we'll target the Alps for the tour in July.

They can book online the 2nd one and the dates they get are 12 weeks from the first one and need to request a covid pass letter as under 16 do not currently have access to the NHS covid pass apps.

Booked for 17th Feb on the Galicia - Portsmouth to Santander - with a pet cabin. We plan on spending a couple of months in Spain/Portugal before driving slowly back through France.

It feels like an age since the last time we were able to do this. 🙂

Spain was cancelled over new year so I think it's time I got my finger out and started organising my 'Band of Brothers' trip.

I do need work to get a bit quieter before I start booking anything though.

Just to let you know everyone wears a mask in Spain, even walking along the beach promenade. Today in Spain, there were 163,000 cases of Covid, and 139 deaths. In France there were today 332,000 cases of covid, so.....bring your masks, or buy them here cheap enough.

We had a credit with Eurotunnel that ran out on 7th January so have booked for as far in advance as possible. Hoping by September we will be able to travel with pre-Covid conditions but……

"I don’t think they have Covid there - not heard anything anyway" then straight to Party Central", Just to let you know everyone wears a mask in Spain, even walking along the beach promenade.

The :rofl: pointed to the fact that I know that Spain has Covid, but we aren’t hearing as much about them as France, and to maybe lighten the mood.

The van is packed with masks, lateral flow tests and everything else Covid related, and we will of course party responsibly, but we intend to enjoy ourselves while we’re there. So the :party2: stays!:wink:
