Yes.
Its just too much hassle, time and cost.
Inevitable that some will just ignore the rules and go anyway.
But i was astounded that there were people genuinely believing that a French fishing trip was a practical proposition in say June!
And then those who suggested money would be the driver for unrestricted access to Europe!
Until the French and rest of Europe get to somewhere near where we are in terms of vaccination and infection rates they will stay amber.
Given France has about the same population as UK, if they go at the same pace we did, which was astoundingly quickly, which is unlikely (this is France!) they could possibly get there by about August at the earliest from where they are now.
Its more likely to be late September /October or if they drag things out end of the year.

Yep
That's about it.

And i cant see France coming off that amber list until the autumn.

What an absolute nightmare !
The way I understand it . To go to France fishing before June 9th you have to -
Have a PCR test before you leave the U.K. .
Download and fill in the French forms saying that you not been around anyone with COVID and giving permission to be tested at random .
Give the address where you are going to self isolate for 7 days ( the lake ! )
On the 7th day have a French PCR test ( if negative you can leave the lake )
This PCR test you can then use to get back into the U.K.
Log on and Fill in the U.K. personal locator form .
Once back in the U.K. you must qaurantine for 10 days
You must take a PCR test on Day 2
You can take another PCR test on day 5 and if negative can leave quarantine ( which is day 7 realistically by the time you get the results ) .
Have I missed anything 😭😭😭

Following todays announcement by the Govt, it must be a nightmare for lake operators in France as to know what to do about their customers who are booked on holidays from 17 May. Personally I think there should not have been a traffic light system, it should be red or green, you can go or not go!

Thanks for that, reviews look a bit rubbish but as long as you have the tracking number you'll be fine. I'd probably use someone else for the 'fit to travel' test - I'd rather pay a few more pound for the service to ensure there was no drama before departing. Thanks again.

I don't think June 9th date matters much. I'm going May 22nd (assuming amber not red). The lake I am going to have advised that you can isolate at your lake. It will only be an issue for you if you combine travel away from the lake to local restaurants etc. Lake owner also advised there appears to be little enforcement - I believe quarantine is voluntary. So, I would get planning on the assumption you can go. Next stage for me is to find some reasonable costs for PCR testing. Good luck.

Won't really make much difference what the former alias using get rich quick salesman says this evening as France aren't changing anything in regards to their travel restrictions till June 9.

Only if they get to grips with the Pandemic and are rated 'green' - safe, for UK travellers.... Can't see France being deemed safe ATM due to their levels of cases being so high. Tests are mandatory for Green rated countries as well...
Catagories for destinations being released today.

What have other countries said about holidays?
The European Commission has recommended allowing travel for anyone who has received the last dose of an EU-approved vaccine at least two weeks beforehand. Vaccines used in the UK would qualify
France says tourists with a French Covid-19 "health pass" (TousAntiCovid) will be allowed from 9 June
Need more info on the France requirement......
But here's the requirements from a UK perspective for 'Green' destinations -
Green countries
Travellers to countries on the green list will need to:
Take a private Covid test in their holiday destination, before returning - this can be a lateral flow test or a PCR test
Fill in a passenger locator form online before leaving their destination
Take a private PCR test on or before day two of their arrival in England
No need to quarantine on return, or take additional tests, unless the post-arrival test is positive
The cost of a private PCR test varies between suppliers, but the transport secretary said he hoped prices could come down to less than £50 per person. Tui Group is offering test packages for between £20 and £90.
There will be a "green watch list", to give people advance notice of countries about to move to amber or red.
I just checked my area and the cost of a PCR test was £175..... but found some now sub £100
So how are countries rated??
The government has not detailed all of the data it will assess, or what numbers will determine a country’s green, amber or red status. It has said that vaccination numbers, vaccination rates, the prevalence of variants and the country’s ability to identify those variants will be key factors in rating countries. Until the government makes public all the data it considers and what the ranges are for placing countries in red, amber or green it’s impossible to be certain which countries will be placed in a category.
