Will you go out on Easter Sunday?

Itching to get back out walking in our local national park but imagine so is everyone else, especially with the bank holiday weekend/School holidays.

I thought Easter Sunday might be quieter as in my mind everyone stays home for a roast and an egg hunt. DH says this year everyone will want to be out, especially if they want to meet others outdoors.

Who is right??

I'll be too close to my due date if I leave it any longer!

I think it’ll be really busy everywhere this weekend

It's a National Park. I don't know any small ones!

Get to your chosen parking spot early. Take a picnic.

Why wouldn't you?

I think your DH is right. That doesn't mean you shouldn't go though - head out early and find a quiet spot.

And actually I will be going out with the dogs to our local common like I do every day, I would love to be able to go to a National Park instead. Sadly none of my family like exercise!

I think it will be busy. People can't have family over for Easter and so many that I know are meeting up outside.

Just the idea of pregnancy bladder stuck in traffic on the way home

It will be busy at any beauty spot, choose somewhere more off the beaten track or be prepared for traffic. Toilets are open some places

Returnoftheowl · 31/03/2021 17:38

All the shops shut, people now behind able to meet up outside... I think it will be busy.

actiongirl1978 · 31/03/2021 17:40

@Parkandride yes I remember pregnancy bladder, you might have a point

Midlifelady · 31/03/2021 17:42

Weather mediocre today and the park was packed. I see no difference for Easter - people will want to go out after a big lunch to walk it off.

CuthbertDibbleandGrubb · 31/03/2021 17:55

I think it may be busy. No large shops open for people to visit to get out and about.

NothingIsWrong · 31/03/2021 17:56

Take a shewee and a bottle and crack on :-)

FrancesHaHa · 31/03/2021 17:57

Where I live the weather looks as though it's going to be warmer on Sunday so we're more likely to go out then - maybe factor that in too!
