Get out for a wander and then back to the van. We take everything with us and bring it all back. Yes ...we have cesspit at our house.

So even though we live in the Highlands, I suspect we will be treated the same as those coming from the cities.

Government advice has been its ok to go out into the open and exercise. So you can see why this has happened.

Most people took that advice to include paying attention to 'keeping social distance'. I jogged around Bushy Park yesterday, all the other runners had enough cop on to take a wide berth around each other by leaving the path and keeping several metres distance.

If you rocked up to Snowdon car park and saw the congestion and crowds you would turn the car around, not park your car and get out. They are f*cking retards.

Sounds a bit viralphobic bro.

No, you wouldn’t.

So the locals are happy?

You are a moron

There’s plenty campervans going across to the Hebrides on the remaining calmac sailings at the moment. You’ve more fingers on your hand than there is ventilators on the islands.

The island of Barra is going to be treating patients on camp beds in the village hall until evacuation can be sorted to the mainland.

I just don’t get it. Where’s the common sense heading all the way to the far reaches of the supply chain, with minimal medical provision, and where there is an ageing population. It’s a time bomb waiting to happen for th relocalise population.

Spoiler: show

I can see lots of cars on that photo, but no crowds. Should be easy to keep your distance on a mountain TBF.

They're scared as well, which can't be discounted. If there was less ambiguity in the guidelines from the government and more rigid instructions, a lot of this fleeing to rural areas and having days out in national parks would be reduced.

Much as this is likely to be true, you’d think the massive queues of cars parked on the Pen-y-Pass road might have suggested going somewhere other than Snowdon might be a good plan.

I didnt realise you could park on that road, the number of times we've had to climb other mountains because there's no parking. Hordes of people puffing and blowing up the miners track, might not be such a good idea.

Yes. Though obviously there are plans in place to expand ITU provision as much as can be managed.

Hopefully today’s announcement by the government will result in people going home. I had already heard that a bunch of caravan and campsites had already closed. Not much you can do about second homes though.
