We’re both at risk category, my wife more than most. So for now everything is cancelled. Maybe I’ll get a week in the MH while it’s stood in the driveway at home?
There have been arguments going back and forth the last few days about whether folk should get out and about in their motorhomes or not in these strange times.
Personally, I think that unless lockdown occurs that really restricts people's freedom of movement, and you take all necessary precautions for social distancing or self-isolation, there is no good reason for not taking off on short trips to stop you going stir crazy.
We are a band of people who are lucky enough to own a moho or campervan.
This puts us in a unique (and highly enviable!) position compared to the rest of the population.
As long as you are not taking unnecessary risks or are a threat to local residents, then why not?
I'm contemplating doing it at some point, and I know several other people who are already out there doing just this.
However, the people I know are wildcamping, not staying on official sites, and are doing it not too far away from their home base.
All they want is a change of scenery. Good enough excuse in my book.
The National Trust are leaving all the parks etc. open for access and the government is actively encouraging people to get outside in the fresh air for exercise - as long as you adhere to the correct health guidelines!
Anyway, you're not telling me that people won't be out and about in their cars taking kids & dogs for walks?!
You could also claim it is necessary for your mental health! There are going to be enough problems for everyone to cope with, so if you can make sure you don't become one of those problem then go for it.
You just need to exercise a large dollop of common sense and avoid close contact with other people outside of your own home circumstances.
If full lockdown occurs at some point in the future then so be it, but at least we don't have any borders to cross in order to get back home!
