Bit of public information, but always check with the .gov website as the rules seem to change every week.

On of the problems in the past was that the UK would only recognise vaccines given in the EU and the USA and the UK of course, so even if you had been vaccinated outside of those place you still had to do the quarantine, pre and post arrival PCR tests. That's changed they are now recognising Astra Zenica, Pizer, Moderna given just about anywhere in the world now, make sure the certificate is in English.

Pre departure negative tests are not required, one of the few bits that made sense is not needed, no need to go into isolation on arrival another bit that made sense that has been dropped. Now you need to do a test on day two, still can't use the NHS testing system you have to book in advance a private test, this can be lateral flow. If negative you're free.

Not looked for a while but presume you will still need to do the on-line passenger locator thing.

Your info is out of date. They recognise all major vaccines now, and have done so for a few weeks.

I have been lucky with holidays.
Done some stuff, white water rafting in Deliverence country. They didn’t like me doing a squealing noise every time we went under bridges with locals on!
Did it again in Croatia and the guide said, “the water is fast today, if you fall in you will die and we will not try to rescue you.”
Had my painting put on the wall in a hotel in Venice

Raced in a Canadian canoe race on the North Saskatchewan river once.
Team were offered an experienced helmsman…’No, we’ll be fine thanks’
…couldn’t even get to the start line!
Did ok once we got it, but bloody hell that river moves fast!

After a year riding UK roads me and the gang have bitten the bullet and are heading back to Europe in early October - Hull > Rotterdam > Strasbourg > Lugano > Livorno and then ferry over to Corsica for five nights before getting a different ferry back to Toulon and the ride home; ferries paid for and Hotel/Motels booked - fingers crossed that Covid doesn't flare up again sending us into a mad testing world again! Croatia and the Balkans mooted for next year!!!

Last year was a real bummer for travelling - we had some good days riding up in Scotland but, being abroad with biker mates is something else; everything crossed that we ALL get a better years travelling.

PS We got a few days booked in Scotland for May, just in case <laugh>
