A few days in the Tweed Valley late April to get used to Scottish riding, then 9 days in Torridon.

Haven't booked anything else yet but I'll definitely be getting away lots, mostly in the UK.

Probably going to book a week's winter mtb'ing somewhere warm for December/January too.

Well hopefully the UK Break Covid Tax will now start to lift and hotels, B&Bs and Campsites can return to being more competitively priced.

Long weekend in Winchester.
Week in Athens.
Last weekend in Stirling.
Will be a few more long weekends in Scotland. Nothing booked in advance yet. Usually wait to see what's reasonably priced

I looked at both the UK and the Mediterranean, but for a 4 bed place, the UK wasn't exactly cheap and the Med (by the time flights and car hire are included) was expensive.

In the end, it was cheaper to go to California for 2 weeks than to the Algarve for comparable accommodation, flights and car hire. Yosemite, San Francisco, Reno, all within easy reach. Will be fun and gives the kids/wife something to look forward to.

That would be nice but the energy costs appear to have just replaced the COVID tax. A couple of the campsites we've used have put their rates up £5/night due to electricity price increases

Not surprised - you're not the only one!

EasyJet has forecast an annual profit of £126m. The company hailed a return of the traditional January booking boom as it hitting record numbers on several days, with customers booking flights and package holidays into 2023.

We have a few days up in Edinburgh at half term, that's only because my parents have booked a static caravan at Mortonhall for a week so they have space.

We don't usually decide on anything until just before we go. Last year we booked Gran Canaria a week before we went, and before 2020 we would get in the car and drive to the tunnel with no idea of where to go. I don't know that we'll be doing anything at all this year as prices have gone up everywhere and interest rates have not helped with many different things.

I'm 50 this year, and it's our Silver Wedding Anniversary so we're having a bit of a celebratory year - so we have booked a week in Madeira (thanks in part to some advice from a few of you in here) and a week in the Alps (5days in Morzine + 2 in La Bress)
We will almost certainly have a couple of long weekends in the UK too

Have a few trips booked for this year actually. Wanted to head to Mull with my parents to try to get my dad to see some golden eagles finally, found one really nice place but it was booked for the entire season so they're clearly not struggling! Chance looked again a month or so later and there was a week vacant so it's ours!

Also have a week booked in Finale in May, used tesco vouchers on the tunnel so thats only cost £14 and sharing the accomodation with two others so that wasn't too painful either.

Week at start of March I've booked to go to Devon with the dog for some training and seeing as it was the two of us I thought I'd check prices at campsites and the like but it was far too expensive considering I'm self contained. I'll just wing it and drive around and park up in different spots. I did check airbnb as well but its ridiculous to charge £100 a night for a shed in your backgarden!
