That's one way of looking at it. I go because I enjoy it.
With the vaccines on the horizon it's looking more positive. The quarantine period is being cut to 5 days. I do wonder if they'll make you have the vaccine to travel.

Thank you David, but It is what it is. I have my health, as do my family. In the grand scheme of things having that and a roof over my head with the bills paid is all that matters, I'm sorry for those who haven't had a smoother ride through this. I've had 2 France trips cancelled to due to both the first and second lockdown. The latest cancellation for the family holiday is for April 2021! I don't see the logic, but then again logic has been lost a few times through this. Strange times.

That's all that matters at the end of the day!
I think the whole vaccine before travel is a slippery slope. There will be so many variables and exceptions, that it will make it pointless having that rule, especially if other countries don't follow suit.

Had a trip in April cancelled. Moved to October. Now June next year. The lake concerned is Clay Lakes. They have been really good about this all. I'm great full.

There is every chance that travel to France will be subject to proof of Covid vaccination as well as valid health insurance and visa ,there are probably countless other hoops you will need to travel to the EU states after the 31st of December,but these are three i have read in a study into traveling to the EU next year, the amount of hoops will depend on the deal we make, so i wouldn't count ya chickens for next year just yet

You won't need a visa for short trips like a week or two.

By sheer luck when I fished last year I decided on the lake to have a year off so I missed this year.
Have booked back on for next September - £100 deposit and pay on arrival so will see how it goes.

Have just heard from the owner of the lake I am due to visit next year.
Unfortunately they have had to cancel my holiday as they are planning to de-silt the lake, remove the snags (there weren't that many anyway), and stock with some new fish. The uncertainty of Covid/Brexit has prompted them to make this decision.
She has carried over my payment from this year, so I have a weeks fishing in 2022 in what should be a much improved venue.
I was offered a full refund of my money now if I didn't want to wait, but I'll wait. The venue is that good.

A visa will not be need for travel to France for less than 90 days after Brexit. A Covid inoculation certificate will probably be need for travel to France as well as the UK and many other countries. Health insurance will be needed and can be taken out as part of your general travel insurance for the week. The biggest issue could well be the extra time taken at customs both ends...we shall see.

Jim,
I agree with you regarding the Covid inoculation certification being required. I recon that will be necessary to go anywhere. Unfortunately given the scale of the project anybody under 55 won't be getting their inoculation until late 2021 or possibly 2022 IMO! It's just a huge project requiring massive resources to inoculate 65M people, that is 130m doses!!
So that may well restrict most travellers for next year.

65m people won't be getting it though. Many will refuse it

Then they won't be able to travel. Anywhere!
And if they refuse it doesn't mean you jump the queue.
It's a huge exercise requiring massive resources. Even the little glass vials it goes in are in short supply.
People are massively underestimating the scale and timescales required for this programme. Add to that the fact its being managed by the British Govt (Bojo and Hand-cock-up) and I don't have much hope (remember "world beating track and trace" and "we will see the back of this disease in 12 weeks", PPE, care homes, Brexit, basically anything they touch!) and you can see why it may take some time. It would be a huge project taking a lot of time even if competent people were in charge.
As I said. If you are under 55 it's unlikely that you will get called up to receive tour vaccination until the later part of 2021 at the earliest. Its up to you if you refuse it. But it will be offered in order of priority.
So don't hold your breath!

Where are you getting these timescales from? And if you are that "in the know" then as an under 55 with an underlying condition which meant I had shielding letters etc, when can I expect to recieve it?
