To rent a remote farmhouse for next weekend getaway

[Lcats]

Or is it against the rules?

In spirit, I don’t see the issue (we won’t be near other humans)

In letter, I am not sure, is it allowed or not this time around to rent a self contained accommodation?

Most holiday letting places near me are shutting from Thursday

Which bit of "stay at home" confused you?

No, it's not allowed.

No unnecessary travel...

It's not allowed, as you are only allowed to travel from your home for set necessary reasons. Going on holiday is not one of them

From the new rules...
Hotels, hostels and other accommodation should only open for those who have to travel for work purposes and for a limited number of other exemptions which will be set out in law.

You can’t go.

It would be sport related (we climb, but the place is too far to go without spending the night there)

It doesn't matter, you can't go and stay overnight somewhere that's not your home for the sake of sport.

Going away and staying in a second home, and going on holiday, are not allowed from Thursday.

Still a no, op. (Nice try).

I see Thank you! For the future, where did you find this?

Okay so for leisure rather than work. You can't go.

Yes, it would be unreasonable, because you'd have to lie and say it was for work.

You are still not allowed to go! What part of stay at home do you not understand?

No unnecessary travel so you can only climb if you can walk in from your house.

That’s the reason to live in a place like Sheffield... 😔

Obviously it's a no.

YABVU. Did you miss the very clear stay at home memo?

@Lcats

It's not an organised group sport though is it.

For goodness sake. You're not a special case. Stay at home.

If you like climbing, you can climb the walls like the rest of us.

Someone will have to clean the place after you leave.
You might have an accident on the way there or back and use valuable resources should you end up in hospital.
You may become ill while you're away.
Stay at home
Save lives
Protect the NHS.

It's not all about you.

seriously???

Of course it's not allowed. The guidelines state, as has been said on other threads, that holidays abroad or in the UK are not allowed.

Seriously?! We’re in lockdown!

And we wonder why we’re fucked?
