Chatting with a good friend of mine who owns several hotels down in the West Country he lost 400 hundred thousand pounds of bookings in just 24 hours this week hotels should be 75% full currently running at 15%

But once we are over the worst.
He won't have enough rooms to go around.
World travel will change forever or a very long time at least. It will all be about the Staycation for many years to come IMO...

That’s if businesses can get through the worst and come out of the other side. There’s an awful lot of things that are going to change after this.

Latest update Scottish Finance Secretary Kate Forbes appealed for people to stop travelling to the Highlands to self-isolate. The move follows concerns about members of the public travelling from other parts of the country to stay in their holiday homes or campervans.

No welcome for wild camping either. Best to stay at home for the benefit of all it seems.

We had planned a 10 day tour of Scotland starting this weekend but decided it was not the right thing to do.

Just seen on the news about people rushing to the east coast today. Skegness apparently rammed and authorities appealing to people to not go.
This is the kind of stupid irrespondible behaviour thst will make the situation worse and last longer.

We were out and about today in Central London on the tandem triplet with the boys on the back and Clare on a solo - I showed Clare a nice quiet cycling route to Guys Hospital in case the trains stop.

Easy to keep a distance. The city was deserted.

To many mixed messages.
The government just need to close everything down and have a complete lock down...
How stupid are these lot...?

Good to see most people are planning to stay home. Has everyone seen this? The Highlands are also asking people to stay away, they don't have the resources for the massive influx of people they're seeing.
