Bumping this topic rather than creating a new one.
I was talking to some hoteliers and the consensus seems to be that they are looking to open the first week of July, with camp sites likely closed for the entire summer due to the difficulty in social distancing due to showers and toilets.
With this in mind, I doubt that we are going to get any kind of 'hey it's ok get out there' announcement for camping which we can then use as 'approval' for wild camping from the government - so how are people proceeding with their trips and plans for the summer months?
My own personal view on this has changed and I'm now planning 2-4 day wild camp trips, self supported, mostly making use of long weekends - the main difference I see is the need to take alcohol gel to use before having food, and I'm choosing to reduce my daily distance by 25% to help with fatigue and mitigating risk. Everything else I expect to be the same.
My perception of the risk is that if you're entirely self supported, order your food during your weekly shop - then you aren't increasing risk profile whatsoever for other people and actually get to enjoy your hobby and get out. This would seem to agree with the BMC advice.
Curious if anyone has any feelings for or against this?
