I was thinking mountain rescue at one stage, but managed to get back down and into Keswick and the pub! 😁 Where is the fucking sunshhhiiiine 🌞 ?

Mind you its better that its not red hot when you are climbing up some peaks, you just want it dry 🌞 Should have come a little further north. Been tremendous today, on the solway Coast and in land woods. Chilly wind, and warm sunshine. Rivers still well up which makes for spectacular viewing and lush greenery. Down side, plenty of eateries still closed, so getting a bite to eat whilst out wasn't that easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobster Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 We should have been going back to France today but have had to change it to next week. Rang Eurotunnell yesterday normally get through straight away but was on hold for 40 minutes, when they finally answered only had limited availability for next Wednesday morning, the girl on the phone said she has never known the phone lines to be so busy, I think a lot of people must be having second thought about flying.

birch-chorley Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Just dropped my Mum off at Manchester Airport for a Ryanair flight to Faro, very quiet Took the daughter to that pub at the end of the runway so she could see a plane coming in / taking off. Not a single plane in half an hour The Airline industry will be completely fucked at this rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane57 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hadn't got about to booking insurance yet for Spain, and obviously that's going to be even tougher now, but have come across these boys https://www.battleface.com/. Seems they're an insurance firm for people who go to dangerous/risky places (like yer Chernobyls, yer jungles etc). The policy there is £200 for a family of four, so easy double what we normally pay, but it seems legit and would cover us for our trip despite the Foreign Office cunts doing their best to knack us. Has anyone used or even heard of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth his weight in gold. Here's hoping the rules stay the same between now and Monday! Always happy help to help, mate. Amazing what you can sort out from a Greek pool-side sunbed with a pint of Ouzo in your hand 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many in the travel industry are impossible to contact when the shit hits the fan. I've re-arranged three bookings and sorted a couple of new ones out in the past week whilst "on holiday". I'm going to need another break soon at this rate, if there's anywhere left to go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal white Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The hotel I was due to stay at in Ibiza has decided to close its doors for the summer so it’s looking like a change in destination and now Turkey is on the cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Still had fuck all reply from TUI for our “lost” holiday in March. Had my flights refunded by Jet2 and Vueling for our aborted Eurocamp holiday in June Finally got 2 night in Wales last weekend. Albeit had to take work with me. Still managed a couple of good runs, paddleboarding and kayaking. Day trip to Coniston yesterday to do the Old Man. Loved it! And back off to Wales again this evening for 5-6 nights. Will be hitting the beaches of Anglesey for sure. Lastly, booked my ferry ticket to Arran in 3 weeks time. Hiking, running and wild camping in the mountains. Just need to sell a lung/kidney to pay for all the equipment I need.* *Anyone with a spare lightweight sleeping bag, one man tent and jetboil stove - give me a shout!

Had 3 trips planned for this year but we’ve thrown a bag over this year. Luckily, we had our main holiday in January so I can’t complain. Hopefully, next year will be different when I have a lot more time on my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
