We have 14 nights booked for next Sept at Black Knowl in Brockenhurst, will be great.
Had a week away last week in Llanbedr, not in our van but had a lodge, site was very quiet and well set up for distancing, as was the local pub.
We are away to Shrewsbury on the 5th Dec for 3 nights, trying to get away when time allows and it’s safe to do so.

Shrewsbury is only a gentle 30 mins from us so perfect.
This stay is to use 3 nights we had booked that clashed with first lockdown (lovetostay).

Hi Kev Do you live in that area our seasonal van was on the border of mid wales and for four years we love it so much we are going to Daisybank Snead Montgomery in June 2021
 
Good news, no thanks to Covid, we are now booked into a Yorkshire CL, fully serviced , for 16th January. They kindly transferred next weeks booking.
It is only £16 a night , very good , but electricity is on a £1 slot meter. At cost price I am assured. I’m happy with that. Any boffins want to tell me how much it will cost a day roughly, assuming fridge tv etc plus heating at 12 hours on 2kw?

Last time we stayed on a CL in winter with £1 slot meters we paid £5 per day.
 
Having a mooch on CMHC site earlier for mid May, availability filling up fast to be fair.
I’ve booked one night in Bladen Chains followed by 6 nights in Black Knowl and a further night in Bladen Chains for the return trip.
I look forward to going and paying my respects to Mr Churchill.

I started out looking at 2 weeks in May at Castleton CMHC. Finished up on a CL on North York Moors. But very much looking forward to visiting a new area.

Apart from this year, we have been there for at least a week every year since my 23 year old Daughter was born, love the place and opportunities for forest walking and cycling.
Some great forest sites there but we prefer the Black Knowl.

Doesn’t look like Love2Stay is an option for us in Dec so I’ve just booked Lady Margaret’s in Chirk (5th Dec for 3 nights).
Not too far to travel and great walking in the castle grounds and on the towpath.

Hi Kev at least it a break Chirk nice have a look at the Castle enjoy your break.
 
Isn’t Chirk in Wales? CCC are keeping their Welsh sites closed for the season, yet CMHC are open post 9 Nov.!, Strange times indeed it makes planning anything difficult and any spontaneity has long gone 👍

It is in Wales Clive, it’s a CMHC site so opened as you say post 9th.
It’s just down the road so an easy weekend away.
We were planning Love2Stay and their online booking is taking bookings post lockdown but as they are in tier 2 I wouldn’t have a clue if we can go!

The detailed regs don’t seem to address caravan sites at the moment, but I guess the Clubs have elicited guidance one way or another. We are going into Tier 2 and from my reading hospitality will be open as long as it serves a proper meal. But we cannot meet two friends for a breakfast and certainly not at their house. Strange old world. So we plan to visit my wife’s brother in Coventry before it drops into Tier 3. He’s had a very difficult time of it and apart from his carers he’s got no one else, and again has only recently been released from hospital. I class the visit as compassionate despite it not being strictly within the present guidance.
