Also for the 12th April or Later date, it is for Domestic Holidays in self-contained units with no shared facilities, will have to be credit card camping at places with en-suite and facilities to eat in room.

Or wild camping. Except i guess Scotland might still be closed in effect.

What's the latest on Wales?

As far as I can see there's nothing concrete yet but hints that easter will allow some travel?

Thanks I missed that

Looking on pitchup it's letting me book a self contained cabin but it has shared toilets from the 12 April but I thought that wasn't ok?

One thing's for sure, most of the outdoor go to places, AONBs are going to get trashed this year, even worse than last. Can't wait for foreign travel to open up again to relieve the pressure on our own country's fragile beauty spots. Chavs and scum can jet off to Spain, Greece and Ibeefa.

chavs is a horrible word - I rather hoped that it had died out.
If you are so concerned about folk you label such I am sure you will find the same anywhere abroad.
On the planet.
Unless you have some sort of tunnel vision defect,
Yes I would expect some places to be a bit overloaded - just as one of my favourite local London parks has become seriously churned, especially when damp, by vastly increased footfall in these god forsaken times.
But anyone with an ounce of adventure and intelligence with a bike will be able to find some peaceful spots.
This can be a surprisingly quiet and peaceful country.
A pretty big chance I'll be off for a bit of very peaceful freecamping come April12.
Even in the supposedly cram-packed south east I don't see any great problem with my plan.

Interesting. Many thanks for sharing.
Will this apply to travel from England to Scotland/ Wales?

This is what the BBC state

"What about travelling from Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales?

There are slightly different restrictions in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales but, as yet, no declaration for travel form is required.

Under current UK-wide Covid-19 restrictions, you must not travel, including abroad, unless you have a legally permitted reason to do so.

It is illegal to travel abroad from anywhere in the UK for holidays and other leisure purposes.

Travellers arriving anywhere in the UK now have to take two coronavirus tests while quarantining, while some must pay to self-isolate at a hotel."

Someone (not Govt) said on the radio this morning that the new form was introduced to stop people going abroad on holiday over Easter.

This seems a good explanation given how late in the lockdown that it was introduced. As restrictions will hopefully be easing fairly soon, another stable door being locked after most of the horses have already bolted.
