We have hired a vehicle for our trip to Italy, via France at the end of next week and no issues with insurance

Have you told the insurer it's for non esential holiday travel. Freight journeys are classed as essential so the hire of a van for a euro journey is in itself not an issue.

A few lads went over yesterday no problems at customs and definitely no mention of 14 day quarantine

Anyone worried about this Uk qaurantine should fiirstly check out the Uk gov website for the list of excemptions . The list is long ! And some will find something which applies . In many cases it is literally producing a letter on company or official paper .
It's no coincidence that Macron is due over to the Uk shortly . The quarantine is the first thing probably on his agenda ! France needs uk tourists and with the Uk gov being sued by all the big airlines I can't see how it can stay in place for long .. got to remember politicians and politics don't change !!

Be aware, those travelling back to the UK at present are required to complete a declaration form stating you'll quarantine for 14 days unless you are a key worker.

They said they'll be doing spot checks, with a fine of £1000 imposed. I very much doubt this will be Policed though.

If you don't complete it prior to travel, you'll have to stand there like a lemon for 15 minutes at the Border answering questions.

If you have completed it, take a screenshot of the completed form, and you'll be on your way home within minutes.

The prime minister has already said this will be reviewed I think he said 29th June and so far more or less said if we dont get a spike will not be needed.

I traveled on my own as did everyone I saw getting on the train, as I said on another thread I did get a call the day after I returned but have heard nothing since.

Many lakes are now welcoming guests...getting there is the main problem but those within easy reach of the Tunnel and the short channel crossings will have no problem. For we mugs sat down here at the toe end of Cornwall, we have no ferries until the review on 28th June.
