Foreign Travel 2021

[Old Skier]

I love the UK. it is amazing like others have stated, however, I hate brits. Idiots. We did the lake district 2020 summer, it was hell. Going to be worse in 2021 if we get some freedom.

I want somewhere no one knows about!! We did get an air bnb last year in devon, may have to trek down there and find some hidden gems away from the masses.

AND YES I DO UNDERSTAND THE IRONY OF MY ATTITUDE!

N Devon is a lot quieter than the south and Cornwall as long as your happy with great walks and big beaches with good pub grub

IoM TT has already been cancelled for this year. Was hoping to go next year but I suspect with any pre-bookings from this year held over it might be a struggle.

As someone who lives on the very edge of the Lake District National Park we give it a big miss in summer.

Western Lakes around Loweswater, Crummock and Buttermere are quietest as well as the Buttermere valley being the best part of the whole Lake District. Windermere area is just grid locked and to be avoided at all costs.

We prefer to holiday in the Scottish Highlands, same beauty but on a much bigger scale and so much quieter, the threat of midges ensures that.

Also enjoyed some superb weather at times and had the option of a short trip to the coast and almost empty beaches

We visit the MIL in Bothel normally 3 times a year, Christmas, Easter and during the summer holidays. As you say some places are packed but If you stay North of Keswick it’s not too bad...there are a lot of good walks, decent pubs and friendly people.?

We have booked two weeks in North Devon for June and as has been said it is much quieter than the south coast.

I would be happy with being allowed to visit our flat on the South Coast. I doesn't take much to make me happy.

Where are you staying

Am I being dense (possibly), but once we come out of lockdown, possibly into a tier system, if people start travelling again, isn't the cycle going simply start over

Who really knows, the only alternative is for all travel including within the UK to be banned.

I’m hoping Australia will open their borders later this year as we are hoping to get out there for Xmas this year to eventually see our first granddaughter after our trip in August was cancelled. Hopefully with the vaccine we might start seeing some travel open up by end of summer.

As D4S says Hallamshire is good , also Beauchief is not too bad .
As a Sheffield lad i would never have thought of us as a tourist destination in a million years

I always recall the entry in the travel guide:
Like Rome, Sheffield is built on seven hills. The similarity ends there.

Dubai booked for October, so here’s hoping we will be ok by then ?

I’ve been recommended to visit Joro for a meal , supposed to be excellent modern grub

Sorry cant help with that one ,, not been any where for a year now so a bit out of touch with the hospitality scene.

I must admit I agree, but the area seems well catered for on the golf front.

I would hope that the government will block all travel over a certain distance until the vunerable have had their second jab. And block all foreign travel until the over 50,s have had second jab

If its ever deemed a safe destination, I'm hoping for a trip to the UK this year

 

[Smiffy]

I’ve booked to go to South Africa in September for 10 days. I’m hopeful it goes ahead

So are your neighbours???

 

[Smiffy]

We had two holidays booked for this year, both cancelled.
Dominican Republic in May, I cancelled it some time ago.
France in July, carried over from last year, now cancelled again and pushed to 2022.
Have a trip to Wales planned for July now, hopefully that will still be able to go ahead.

I don't understand this "it's not worth the risk catching it and bringing it back". We are the one of the worst countries in the world for infections and deaths. You are safer in turkey than you are here.

As soon as its allowed I'm prepared to go wherever I can. I was hoping to get to the alps before the snow disappears but I'm not holding my breath
