For the rest of this year you should consider the possibility of having to cancel at short notice. I would only book accommodation with free cancellation unless you are able to write the money off.
confusion and little hitlers. yup. there are many reasons in my mind not to plan a "big trip" this year, but it's the thought of confused little hitlers mucking me about and fecking up my plans that is the final straw.We usually do Cyprus in May and Gran Canaria in September for the cycling but this year are not going anywhere. Not while these restrictions - sometimes randomly applied - are in force. Or not in force but some people think they are or whatever. The confusion over it and control the little hitlers love to exert make it not worth the effort.
Looks like P&O are not resuming sailings on this route until October unfortunately. I have a P&O credit note from Direct Ferries and was thinking of using it to go from Zeebrugge down France with the tent.I am going to wait for the Hull ferries to make their resumption plans public, I'm not sure I can put up with extra airport hassle so it's looking like a Netherlands/Belgium/Germany tour late August. If the airport hassle is not as bad as I fear then I'll wait until Sept & do Bilbao-Malaga.

Eurotunnel is running but seems to have doubled in price since last year.
Should have been in France now for a week but cancelled in April.
Anyone find it odd how people have changed their priorities from protecting people to concern about the risk of losing money if they don't get to go... the risk of spreading C-19 is exactly the same as it was at the start of lockdown. Clever manipulation of people's mindset.
Absolutely. There are risks in every hour of life. Do your research, then make the choices you are comfortable with.Today, we booked train tickets to Avignon for the back end of August to go and stay with a friend. We did a thorough risk assessment given the current information available. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that that I could die of medical conditions completely unrelated to C-19 and I wasn't prepared to spend an unlimited percentage of whatever number days I have left before I croak hiding away in a self-imposed prison.
Others will view things differently. I'm just acutely aware that my life does not stretch endlessly ahead of me.
