Big September Exit

[gus-lopez]

I'm happy in France but understand (I don't have facts) that parts of Spain have rampant COVID.

With double vaccinated people still having say a 15% chance of succumbing to the ghastly infection, and so risking long COVID, I don't like the odds enough to visit Spain

Yes it's terrible .about 25% of the UK daily rate & dropping

I have grandstand tickets (which sell out quickly) for an event in west France in the third week of September. I've not decided yet whether I'll go.

Circuit des Ramparts.
yes only 2 odd seat left in one stand & a dozen or so in another when I was looking last Friday.
have you ever used the free motorhome camping they offer in town at Bourgine?

Yes it's terrible .about 25% of the UK daily rate & dropping

Depends where you get your stats from.
According to European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control

the case rate in Spain is the highest in the EU at 603 cases per 100,000 population, twice the UK rate according to the UK government website.​

(Aplogies for the bold print, it's got a mind of its own)​

We are going to wait............... don't fancy paying for tests upon return.

I am to old to wait..BUSBY.

Plan A: Hoping to visit Javea ,Murcia, Seville and onto Portugal.
Plan B: Galicia area and onto Portugal

Tunnel booked for 27th August. We’ve put it back 3 times so far.

If we can go under the current rules, then we’ll go and probably just stay in France for our full 3 weeks… it’s big enough to entertain us and keeps it simple.

If the rules change for the worst on the review next week, then we’ll make a quick decision as to whether we need to put it off again.

Fingers crossed

Off to France for just two weeks around the 10th once the kids are back in Uni. Heading for the champagne region . Nervous? Not in the least

No. I stayed once for 4 nights on the car park next to le Musée de la Bande Dessinée and twice I stayed in an hotel. If I go this time, if I take the van, I'll stay at the free camping if I can't find anywhere to park up in the town.

If you go to epernay a must if you haven’t been already i can recommend a trip up in the teathered hot air balloon at Moet en Chandon champagne house.

 

[GeeCee]

We're going end of August for 40-50 days in Spain mostly but stopping over in France there and back.

 

[EzeeRider]

We're probably in the 'more in hope than expectation' category, more so for France where our hovel possibly is in danger of becoming rewilded after being left for over 18 months, so the maintenance is a consideration, but not at the expense of our health.

There is a danger I guess that those returning may need to isolate again on return if numbers increase here and elsewhere in Europe.

 

[Steve N Tracy]

3rd Sept Portsmouth to Caen for 2 weeks, we have not decided yet where we are going, will wait and see where the sun is shining in France.

Thanks, I will look into that . Any other tips for the region?

We will be leaving the U.K. on 28th August and travelling through France and Italy to Greece.
We only need our Covid Passes, plus health attestations, to enter each.
I haven’t given any thought to the tests on our return because we won’t be back until the end of October or beginning November and everything will have changed by then.

How many have cancelled UK bookings to make the trip across the water?

[Molly A]

We keep a yacht in the Ionian and need to get back to renew our Greek residence permits so we can spend more than 90/180 there in the future. Plus hopefully get some sailing in!

Yup...us too!

Not me.

 

[Figaro]

Just pondering it.
Have a booking for mid September in Pembrokeshire but I'd rather be heading down to Croatia.
Campsite will transfer to 2022 so looks like a result
Just need to get organised now

 

[onemanand2dogs]
