We're planing on still going to Keswick at the end of March, then on to Barnard Castle and Wolsingham (near Bishop Auckland). After that we've planned on Berwick, Edinburgh and up the N500.
Nothing much booked in advance so we'll just have to wait and see how far we can get before scurrying home.
 
I have two trips to Germany planned so watching.

We plan to get around the UK this year regardless. Unless we are absolutely banned from travelling. If so I'll have to self-isolate in the Red Lion.
 
I'll be going to Hayfield 4th April, Yorkshire dales after Easter. Unless campsites tell me otherwise.
 
Outer Hebrides for 2 weeks/1 week mainland beginning of May. If Calmac pull the plug, we'll just do the mainland if travel is still allowed. (y)
 
Tunnel booked for France skiing on the 2nd of April.......or maybe not now. Ah well got a chalet booked for New Year...better be clear by then :oops: all joking aside I do hope that all the small businesses can survive.
 
Not on your life! We're staying firmly at home, where we can hide in safety, have online shopping and have access to a major teaching hospital up the road, if necessary.

We had planned to visit Germany and France in the early Summer but that is probably binned now.

Will stay UK based till the issues die down a bit. :cry:
 
We have accidentally got quite a lot of uk stuff booked in until the Autumn, still plan to do them (dependant on govt advice).
 
Any plans being put on hold. As we live in Devon and near Cornwall looking at day trips out to coast or Dartmoor, where not many people around and refreshments in our mobile "cafe". Grrrrrrr........ Ha...... not quite Living the Dream at moment. ????Smudger55
 
Like a lot of folk we’ve just ‘parked’ our 4 month European road trip and are adopting a watch and wait attitude. Will try and travel a bit of the UK but it won’t have the same vibe.
 
Going off the actual subject of my post but I feel too for all the small businesses and the self employed.It must be more than worrying as it looks like once we start climbing to the peak it will take months before life gets anywhere normal and people can go back to work.

We were flying somewhere warm and sunny on 23 March now taking the motorhome probably somewhere cold and wet!
 
We abandoned out ski trip a couple of weeks ago. All that effort and frustration learning how to fit the snow chains all gone to waste. Maybe next year if I am spared. I have asbestosis and don’t have a spleen so spending my day avoiding everybody.
 
We had planned a trip to Croatia in April, but will wait and see if things improve before making final decision.
 
In ten years with a m/h and 40 with a motorbike and tent I've only ever toured 'over there', but to my surprise I'm actually looking forward to touring in the U.K. this year. I don't like planning trips other than booking the ferry at the last minute, so from what I've read I think I will have a bit of a culture shock needing to find/book places to stop overnight until the virus hoo-haa dies down and I can get my Euros out. Much like zillions of others no doubt.

Our trip to our French base and then on to Croatia, booked for 31st March has been postponed. We have rebooked the Tunnel for end of May but will wait to see how things develop.

We are currently out and about in our motorhome, intending to return home in about a week then batten down the hatches while we wait for things to resolve.

Was due to take wife on a surprise weekend to Vienna this coming Friday but once RyanAir waived the change fee, I told Mrs the score and we binned it until September.

Have Ferry and 3 weeks in Spain booked for end of July so hopefully it will be over by then. If not I'll get most if not all refunded and stay in the UK possibly having a 2 week and then a further week instead of three in one go.
 
We were due to fly to an island off Croatia for two weeks to celebrate my wife’s retirement in July and I was paying for our children to join us but it is too much money to gamble and if there are any restrictions what’s the point. I was due to pay the balance off next month and I have spoken to TUI who will allow the deposits to go on future holidays for an admin fee. So I’ve booked a 9 bedroom house in Devon and invited friends and family instead.
Our friends were due to fly to India yesterday as their daughter who is in medical training is out there for 3 months helping in the villages but the areas they had booked separately to visit are all locked down. As the airport and area they were due to fly from is open and receiving flights they can’t claim insurance and they estimate they have lost 10.5 k
 
Due to take the motorhome on Skiing trip France on Sunday 15th but put on hold at present, had to be back for Mothers day celebrations so not too bad.
 
We were going to Spain/Portugal but now won't. Can't be bothered with the harassment of trying to tour in the uk so will be staying at home.

I don't intend changing any plans right now - most of it is related to F-4 phantoms anyway
 
We’re in Castleton for a night , it’s only 50 mins from home . Expected it might be empty and the village quiet but no. Self banned from the pubs as wife has a low immune system and can’t afford to take the risk. All our trips are UK based so we can be flexible as needed. I feel sorry for those of you with money committed to overseas trips , let’s hope it dies down soon as.
 
Cancelled flight to Malta Tuesday this week, just as well as my week in the sun would have become 14 days in isolation. Currently trying to salvage the return leg of the trip via Ryanair website, but not letting me do it despite announcement that March flights can be rebooked without amendment fee.
Easyjet flights to Gibraltar booked for 19 April, but will rebook for September. Easyjet also not charging fees for amendments. Ferry to Dunkirk in early May, will keep a watchful eye on that one, ditto Bari - Igoumenitsa in May although very unlikely I think. Scotland in September, see no reason not to go at the moment. Otherwise Plymouth - Santander in October, hopefully the world will be back to normal by then?
