Well I've just been on hold for the last 15 mins 30th in the que

I'm covered if the French government or The Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO) or the World Health Organisation make the decision to close the border or not travel into France.

But Im not covered if the complex shuts and I doubt very much if I'll get my money back from the venue
All paid up van hire crossing and complex
Fingers crossed it'll be ok

Off to France tomorrow evening on a 6-hour ferry crossing.

Booked a hotel part way to break up the journey.

Got to do a supermarket shop before we go to the venue.

Loads of social mixing and subsequent raised opportunity for infection. Was undecided whether to go or not. "What's the worst that can happened?" I asked Mrs T.

"We could both catch it and die," she replied.

She's a bundle of laughs!

I can see what is going to happen...We'll get off the ferry, drive to the lake and then be told that the FCO, WHO, et al have closed the borders...Still, I can think of worse places to be stuck.

Maybe this is apt: LINK.

Good luck with the fishing Ken I'm sure you'll be fine, my accountant has just walked in the office this morning to do the monthly accounts he's in his 70's and just come back from a 12 day cruise, the ship broke down 3 days from the end of the trip they had to limp into a port and get several connecting flights back to blighty, first thing he starts doing is coughing and sneezing.

Well, providing you survive the Coronavirus problems you could be in for a great weeks fishing Ken. Weather is spot on for a spring lump or two. Tight lines.

Sneezing isn't a normal symptom of the virus apparently so may just be a common cold

I see the insurance company's are clamping down on what's covered now .

If you have left it late then your screwed 🤔

Have a great trip Ken,hope you smash it mate,conditions are looking excellent,everyone is paranoid about this virus,unless your prepared to stop living and stay in your house self isolating ,just carry on as normal,take some sanitizing products,hand cleanser and use them once your at the lake you couldn't be at a safer place,worrying will spoil your trip ,enjoy yourself,tight lines mate

Just taken out annual comprehensive cover with the extention from staysure. £58 total for the year, still not 100% sure whats covered if trip is cancelled but feel a bit more relaxed now. To be honest im more worried about missing out on my trip than loosing the money!! Going 3 weeks Friday so keeping everything crossed.

It is privately arranged personal or family cover. ABTA is a different beast.

The reason I mentioned ABTA is because it's easy to prove you booking. When you're paying a fishery owner in France then it could be open to abuse making it a bit more difficult to claim?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
