The Silver Sands of Morar is a special place if the sun is out lolYeah, Scotland has some *incredible* beaches. If we can all just put out a *little* more CO2, they may become inhabitable within the next 50 years or so.
We went to a wedding in Mallaig and the owner of the bed and breakfast we stayed at said to go as the sun was shining, it really was like the Caribbean bar the temp of the water obviously :)

The issue that people may find given case numbers and vaccinations here and in europe is you may be unlucky in that you jet off to France or Spain as all the pubs and restaurants are open at home and you land abroad and they are under lockdown With all their bars and restaurants closed.
the way the numbers are going that seems more likely !!
I think thats just part of the considered risk and gamble.
Although if a countries numbers are so bad that they are on the verge of a lockdown, this would likely be already reflected in the FCO advice.
If it was a totally random and extreme spike then so be it, take your chances for those inclined to head abroad.
I do think anyone going off to Europe this summer (if it's possible) will be doing so with their eyes wide open.
No one. It’s the lockdown fetishists out in full force accusing anyone who dare go on holiday when permitted as murderers.out of interest who on this forum has said they are prepared to go on holiday prematurely without due regard to other people?
The way it’s going it looks like no holidays until 2022 and even then they’ll be another excuse.
Ha ha brilliant. We're not far off that point with some police forces.

I love Scotland, such a fantastic country with welcoming people. Ive holidayed, walked, climbed, camped, canoed many many times and even toured the place on a motorbike. I intend to canoe and tour on a bike again this spring. If you are blessed by the good weather its 10 times better. If not the far north west can be a bit bleak under canvas.The Silver Sands of Morar is a special place if the sun is out lol

I lived in Portugal for a year or so, unbelievable coastline. We used to jump of the cliffs some really high. Crazy looking back. Sometimes you would have to swim through caves to get back to secluded beaches from the cliff tops. My mates came out to visit once, the 3 of them were quite unfit; but I really wanted them to jump off this cliff for the buzz, stupidly I told a white lie about the distance you have to swim to get back to shore this was through a cave so you couldn’t see the distance it was probably another 60mtrs to what I told them. Two of them really could of drowned one had to be pulled in by a Portuguese bloke there was a little exaggeration on their part. But still I shouldn’t have lied. They still talk about that experiance though in a good way now.Nowhere near as good as the Algarve’s but better than Spain’s ;-)

It is the midgies that spoil it for me, it got so bad we gave up going in the end.I love Scotland, such a fantastic country with welcoming people.

They eat me alive but never touch the wife, even when I had blood that must have been close to pure Stella and smoked they still bit the shit out of me.
Of course, the worst places for it are down by the loch just the very place you want to take an after evening tea stroll, little biting bastards all over the place :(

Yes it does.True-but I've yet to find if it's possible to get a visa to allow one to. Substitute Spain for Cyprus which is non-Schengen and the 90 days doesn't apply.
You can only stay for 90 days in Cyprus.
It just does not impact staying anywhere else.

If you register with them then you can stay longer. How about substituting my examples with Thailand where you can get a 6 month visa. The point is the same that it is re-entering the country that should be the limiting factor, not leaving.Yes it does.

I am in neighbouring Dorset. Only left Mcr 8 years ago and never out of sunglasses now. Not a cloud in the sky this afternoon.
Yeah it will be a nightmare for family's in the kids holiday far too many descending to the coast. I think I'll will pass on that this year.Let's face it, it's not about the quality of the resorts or scenery in the UK, it's all about the reliability of the bloody weather.

If you’re genuinely interested, look back over the last 20 pages or so. You’ll find several bitching about being grounded, one clown even blaming a Tory plot against the travel industry, a couple of others totally blinkered about medical reality.out of interest who on this forum has said they are prepared to go on holiday prematurely without due regard to other people?
