Just heard a whisper that a couple of camper vans have had, shall we say, a “frosty” welcome from a few locals.

The mood is changing here and in the Highlands........ Can’t blame them!

I had a campervan years ago and the reception in Devon was always frosty

The Caravan Club has from today shut all sites and CLs until 30th June 2020. About time. The Camping and Caravan Club as usual could not care about campers and their health and is only closing toilet and laundry facilities and sites are remaining open!

How long do you think it will be before the C&CC do the same? What one does, the other one is likely to do soon after.

Just looked at a live webcam feed from West Bay in Dorset and I don't think I have ever seen so many people there in my entire life!

I’m a nurse, I work in a major hospital and have seen our escalation plans for critical care when the virus hits, frankly it is terrifying.

Please stay at home. Rural areas will not have the infrastructure to support holidaymakers and being stuck inside a caravan for 7 days if you become ill would be extremely difficult, never mind how you would get any food . And no you cannot pack up and drive home at that point, just packing up your caravan services would put others at risk, this virus is highly infective.

This is a horrible situation, we were supposed to be away for Easter in our brand new van so I’m as disappointed as everyone else. Instead I’ll be at work, most likely looking after a lot of extremely ill people. Please stay home for me while I go to work for you.

Can't believe the earlier posts on this thread, after re-reading them. The number of no doubt lovely but unthinking people, planning to travel all over the place, particularly to rural settings is frankly terrifying. A holiday, short break, little jaunt etc are not essential travel. Given the sights now seen in Italy of people lying on corridor floors and even in the street should surely show the dangers. I am heartened to see the responsible people now saying they'll stay home - Thank you all, for dong this. It has been really worrying. Anyone still considering "escaping" because they think they will be alright - Well, you won't. You can't outrun this, or stay isolated away from home. You are safer at home and so are we all, because of it. Stay safe to enjoy the next season, and good luck.
