We have decided that barring illness, our trip is on. As suggested, probably safer than at home.
After all we said about carry on regardless, we have kicked our Scottish trip into touch, just for the reason that its such a long way back if we are taken ill with this thing. We are still going away, but heading a little closer to home with the New Forest. Once there, I will attempt to see if the virus can be killed by a good Single Malt.
Latest update

Further about my first comment about should I go or not. Now with more info we would not go if we could not have full service pitch like we have booked. The wardens do good job of cleaning toilet block but before they go in I have found toilets disgusting at times , I wonder what their homes are like. Another thought is will CCC cancel bookings as people do cluster together at times in places
Well, Boris has now said we must avoid ALL non essential travel. I assume you guys are with me that caravanning is essential.
I have just cancelled our trip to Waterrow, SWMBO has COPD we always use our onboard toilet and shower but if Memshabe cannot have a drink down the pub, no point in us going away.
Now thinking of having the van on the drive for eldest son to get out of London, as his work has closed down, and he doesn't want to possibly
infect us.
Malaria was nothing for me., thinking about it.

We like going down the pub when we are away and going for Sunday lunch but if we go away next week it will be tinnies in the caravan and hopefully a full service pitch,
Its not the wardens fault the toilet blocks get in such a mess, it's those who use them!

We're still undecided pending further government advice.
If we cancel Waterrow now the only option to save our deposit is to go in the cold dark months.
I'd much rather be away in April than October or later, we can self isolate in and around the caravan and a Springtime break in the fresh air will probably do us both good.
We are both at risk, but pubs are not always crowded and there are no laws which actually forbid popping out for a swift sherbet.
We're in wait and see mode at the moment.

I am over 70 but physically fit and my wife who is a bit younger has mild type 2 diabeties so we are holding back although I do not feel the risk is serious for us.
Robert_374373903,
I think it was the use of the word 'Their' that implied you were talking about the wardens.

Hi Beachball, I can’t remember exact date without scrolling through emails but it’s when the Rod Stewart tribute night is on, as mentioned previously we’ll probably still go but we’ll give the show a miss and I’ll just have to suffer fishing more
Hello Robert,
The point I was trying to make is that we see complaints about the state of toilets and showers, often inferring the wardens don't clean them often or well enough. I think it's fair to assume the cause of the mess is not the wardens, but the campers/caravanners who so often don't seem to respect the facilities provided.
It seems all too often that the people who use the facilities seem to have forgotten normal domestic behaviour they would use at home, and seem to think they can get away with lower standards of hygiene and cleaning up after use.
The answer is yes and on super site we do not go near the toilet block except to empty the toilet. Thus we are alone .
Have a great break we arrive roughly middle of June also i like Fishing
