Dont think this one has been done. We are wanting to go away for Christmas in holiday cottage. It's just my wife and I, no kids or family. Currently Tier 3. Looking at the guidance and legislation linked to on this thread (North Yorks Boarder Patrol) Family Bubbles can meet from the 23rd - 27th Dec, but you can travel anywhere from the 22nd - 28th and stay away from home. The cottage we want to book runs from 21st - 28th (7 nights) During the week away we dont want to: - Form a family bubble, so just the two of us - Meet anybody we know in the area either indoors or outdoors - Go to the pub or cafe We will take 99% of food and drink with us to the cottage and be walking in the mountains during the day So Tier 3 advises traveling outside your area or staying over night. This is just 'advice' and not the law - correct? So if we wanted to drive to the cottage which is 100miles away (tier 2) from our tier 3 home, and stay at said cottage on the evening of the 21st Dec. It is only 'advised' that we dont but not against the law, so we could not be stopped in doing so. Then on the 22nd it would then be fine under the Christmas 'rules'
