Don’t think it is as you are not meant to leave the UK for food, fuel, medicines etc.
Right who is going to France next week?

The ethnicity is relevant, at least insofar that his/her own wellbeing is concerned in that some groups are said to be more susceptible. Perhaps that ambivalent (arguably irresponsible) attitude is a contributory factor to the high rate of infection and spread among some ethnic people and de facto passing it on to those in the wider community with whom they come into contact.

You can if its freight! In-out as many times as you like, might not get away with it in a shiny motor home but in a Sprinter or 7.5 wagon you can. You also need a CMR which is an international delivery/movement of goods note,

MisterB is expected to quarantine for 14 days or the length of his stay in the UK.

Quite entitled (imo) to leave the country after 4.
If a European from a naughty country came over for an interview and wanted to return, would we be insisting on them staying for 14 days rather than going home ? As long as they take the relevant precautions when transiting to and from destination they abide by the law.

Tunnel on 26th or 27th, yet to be decided. Headed to Ancona as have a ferry to Greece on 3rd Sept.
Depending on whether they do the reciprocal thing, we might turn left immediately and go down through Belgium etc. As if the Quarantine requirement is to stay in the van and not mix with others we can easily achieve that in the short distance between Calais and the Belgian border. Harder to do if we drive through France as we will need fuel, even if we go straight down.
we won’t be returning until November so I expect things will have changed again massively re quarantines by the time we head home, so we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

And back to the thread title.
We are booked 28th.
I doubt very much we will be staying in France even though we could do a fortnight there. Germany Austria Slovenia Italy area is favourite but moving within immediate striking distance of Calais (8 hours) with 14 days left.
I would hope I would be back 3 days before Germany goes on any list, going by what happened in France and the amount of hints given by HMG

It is only 14 days if you are there for that long
As above ,"or the period you are in the UK"
You eneter quarantine then leave.
As above
Yes, still on for the 29th
"Short trips of less than 14 days are allowed but you will have to self-isolate for your entire stay. "
"For example, if you arrive in the UK from a country that is exempt, but you travelled to the exempt country 4 days ago from a country that is not exempt you will need to self-isolate for 10 days. If you’re travelling to the UK for less than 10 days you will need to self-isolate for the length of your stay. "
Qurantine is for 14 days.If you are on business etc & only there for a few days then leaving that is all you have to do.
If you are attending medical appointments you can .then leave.

We’re off to Caen on the 29th. 1 week in Saumur followed by 1 week on Noirmoutier. Both sites have cancellation insurance so unless Brittany Ferries cancel the sailings we would potentially lose the ferry crossing money. In any event by the time we return the quarantine rules may have changed again. The talk is of a revision of the length of the quarantine period which would help.
Also a reminder for anyone travelling back to UK to complete the below online form available from the gov website under the section
Provide your journey and contact details before you travel to the UK
You cannot submit the form until 48 hours before you’re due to arrive in the UK.

You have your opinion. I have mine. I find it ofensive that some think that ONLY the lives of one Ethnic grouping type matters. He was a selfish little git regardless of ethnicity. But as recent events show, and your comment too. It only seems to be a one way street.

Because it isn’t their country of residence as I understand it .
We're booked for Thurs 27th, still planning to go but will watch for the French retaliation, if it's advisory only will still go. If it's a full out retaliation will look at the details and decide. We were there 3 weeks or so ago and felt perfectly safe and welcome.

As things stand. If I am reading the guidelines correctly, you can spend as much time as you want in Spain/France, if you then travel to Germany for a week on the way home, you are completing a weeks "virtual" quarantine there! So would only need to quarantine in the Uk for 7 days?

If you are arrive in UK and are required to quarantine at tour designated address, then when you present yourself at check-in/immigration to leave, you will have demonstrated that to travel there you have broken your quarantine.

We have ferry tickets for tomorrow night, though we were planning on taking the car and staying at my Dads. Wife is worried about taking the kids out of the first 2 weeks of school due to the quarantine. She‘s also stated that according to the government’s website, travel and some vehicle insurance may be effected? Having to wait till tomorrow morning to confirm this.
My understanding is our insurance cover would be null and void if we stay in France, as FO is all but essential journeys. But, it is possible to cross on the tunnel and drive directly to Germany (@ 4 hours) and continue your holiday We might have to quantantien when we get back, but thats end October, so much can change. This of course always assumes they don't put Germany on the list for only essential journeys. I can clarified this with Comfort, as a bet and braces and have it in writing... Thankfully.

Yes ,correct.
If I have to come to the UK& things stay as they are then I might well change route & cross into Germany via Mulhouse , wander around, visit brothers grave & then to Dunkirk without a stop & so reduce any quarantine period required.
No,not correct as above in the link.

Travelling to France and Belgium is for essential travel only,I do find it incredible that so many people are leaving now to go.The quarantine when they get back is in case they have Covid-19.Why risk their own health and the health of any nhs workers should they get sick?
I am happy to stick my neck out and say its unbelievably ignorant.

We are off on the 22 august and then on to catalonia via the west coast.
I have tried to look for a thread but is there one where members share Eurotunnel Frequent Traveller Tickets?
This can be done but both drivers need to share details at the time of booking the 10 tickets - We usually end up not using a couple

There are many of us who agree with you.
If we quarantine in our motorhome then we would be taking our quarantine accommodation with us. We have sold our French house and will need at least three journeys to get stuff back to UK. Hopefully we will have the time to space the journeys with 14 days between.
Keep an eye on Greece infection rates still below the uk but increasing at a faster rate than most other countries .
