Phase 2 - Indicative Dates
Travel distance restriction relaxed - 3 July

Self-catering accommodation and second homes (without shared facilities) permitted - 3 July

Outdoor hospitality (subject to physical distancing rules and public health advice) - 6 July

Great news if this timeline happens - a few weeks earlier than expected.

Anyone want to bet it will be 100mph winds, thunderstorms, torrential rain, hailstones the size of footballs and a UFO invasion that weekend?

Might have to be a bit of careful hill selection for July! Still, game on! Hopefully........

Just one more weekend of Blaeloch Hill for me then

Good news for the folks in Scotland.

Meanwhile here in Birmingham we have have reached an important milestone in the return to normality. Tunnocks caramel wafers are now back in the shops.

Hooray!

I don't care if it rains, hails, blows a hoolie, and if UFO lands nearby, I'll call Fox Mulder

[Backpacker]

Magic, I can now bin any notion of 100 ascent of Strathfinella (currently on 70 something)

[Flat Earther]

Not before time*.








* sorry if that "upsets" anyone.

Brilliant!

A massive thank you to Paul Webster for your deft and sensitive handling of the forum. Well done!

Depends who "they" are in any particular instance - could be the NTS, the local council, a private estate, or whatever it is that the Forestry Commission likes to call itself these days (which seems to change every two or three years - think it might be "Forestry and Land Scotland or some such nonsense at the moment).
