Can you put me as a reserve please Andy, I’d need the Fri and Sat only.
DakarZ3 & Sharon
Have to be a twin for now then. Hopefully a double will come available. Will only want it Fri and Sat
OK mate, noted, we'll try for more doubles as we go along.
Done mate.
Thank You
SitRep. I'll put something up on here at the end of February when we may have a clear direction on what's happening with COVID-19. Go/no go Lockdown/Tiered areas etc.
Hi Andy, it’s just me for the trip now unless I can find another travel companion. Andrea has pushed the ejector seat button in my Z 
Sadly, as things are at the moment I can't see this going ahead. Hope I'm wrong.
I'm inclined to agree, fingers crossed thoughSadly, as things are at the moment I can't see this going ahead. Hope I'm wrong.
I'd be tempted to look at rescheduling for mid to late June and possibly mid-week rather than a weekend. Here's why.
Sadly - It is looking like early summer before any substantial relaxation of controls is likely. It is looking like all high risk groups will likely be vaccinated by mid-April (so the immediate risk to the NHS should be somewhat diminished by then or soon afterwards), but, it is likely that the virus will still be circulating at some significant degree amongst non-vaccinated groups for some while even then. At what point is it OK to allow relaxations of controls? Who knows?
Even if and when there is some relaxation of controls, the demand for UK hotels etc will suddenly become huge. Tourist areas are going to be rammed, especially at weekends. It will be like a switch!
So, do you wait, leave things as they are and hope?
Do you simply cancel?
Or, do you replan to balance the probabilities of where we might be at some other point? I would do this. Nothing is certain still. There's still a good risk it still might not be possible, but I think it pushes you closer to a point where there might be some greater possibility of it happening to a plan.
Good luck Andy, whatever you choose or forced to do

All good points and something that's been in my mind for a while now Ian #87. I'll announce my decision as soon as the PM states what's next at the review. If moved job lot I'll wait 'till September after half Term when the Lake's dies down a bit. That said, if I can I'll do a run on the original dates for those that either want to or can come, time will tellI'd be tempted to look at rescheduling for mid to late June and possibly mid-week rather than a weekend.

Fingers crossed Andy.
Lockdown now extended into March so this tour looks unlikely. 
The tour is not until the end of April, think positive.Lockdown now extended into March so this tour looks unlikely.
Thinking positive is one thing but realism is another. Hope it can go ahead all the same.
