So, did I hear that right
from Wednesday we can drive anywhere we want to then take our exercise

Only with members of the same household, so that’s quite a few of us out of the equation.So, did I hear that right
from Wednesday we can drive anywhere we want to then take our exercise
Quite happy I can sit on a park bench now though, albeit still aloneThat's how I heard it too. Unlimited exercise and licence to sunbathe and picnic too.
I can’t drive to the gym to do proper exercise and weights but all these people who never exercised before coronavirus can go where they want for a jolly?So, did I hear that right

I have been sunbathing for weeks.That's how I heard it too. Unlimited exercise and licence to sunbathe and picnic too.
Well I still don’t go to the gym but can’t go to the Dales because I have no car and live alone so can’t go with family.I can’t drive to the gym to do proper exercise and weights but all these people who never exercised before coronavirus can go where they want for a jolly?
I think the broadcast created more confusionGetting back to the broadcast, I read it as nothing changes for now, other than some pushing of the going out envelope that people were doing already.
The one spark of hope I'm taking is that sport is allowed with members of your household. That's the wife taking up golf then...
I think that’s a reasonable assumption.Getting back to the broadcast, I read it as nothing changes for now, other than some pushing of the going out envelope that people were doing already.

I think you are right but he hasn't half used a confusing messege to explain it.Getting back to the broadcast, I read it as nothing changes for now, other than some pushing of the going out envelope that people were doing already.

Too many where possibles etc to lead to anything but clarity.I think you are right but he hasn't half used a confusing messege to explain it.
The message was very clear. Everyone needs to be back at work, Except hospitality, retail, schools. You can drive as far as you like for exercise, so lots of rural areas are going to be inundated with folk. But you can't see your parents, siblings and kids. If any of you think that is well thought through, ..................... Not one single mention of the latter in his possible timeline.
That’s what I was thinking to be honest. The message seems to be on social distancing in outdoor areas and you can do what you like. Obviously can’t travel anywhere with those you don’t live with though. Separate travel or you can’t go.Just meet your family members on the prom, beach, stanley park or wherever and maintain social distancing. then you can see as many of them as you want.
I’m afraid the roundabouts in kiddies playgrounds are still closed so perhaps best if you avoid them and the kiddies swings too - but its a mixed message from the Government so hey to hell with it, have a go on the slides as well, but avoid the horsey thing, a kid near us got his leg chopped off on one!Well I still don’t go to the gym but can’t go to the Dales because I have no car and live alone so can’t go with family.
Some you win..... it’s swings and roundabouts really.
I read it as drive anywhere for exercise, it needs clarifying.
What a novel idea...People actually using their nogginJust meet your family members on the prom, beach, stanley park or wherever and maintain social distancing. then you can see as many of them as you want.
Can I drive from Leeds to exercise on Blackpool prom and accidentally bump into my Dad and sister who were coincidentally out at the same time? Alternatively can we arrange to meet on Torquay prom? There have to be some parameters.
Who knows, that's my point. I don't believe the Government want us driving all over the country for non work related activity.As long as you go in seperate cars and maintain social distancing, then yes.. Whats the problem....
Why who you infecting if you drive for an hour or three in your own car with no one else and all this your more likely to cause an accident for driving further is utter bollocks never new they where timed.Can I drive from Leeds to exercise on Blackpool prom and accidentally bump into my Dad and sister who were coincidentally out at the same time?

Until he says those three magic words “pubs can open” I’m not really bothered
So 180 mile round trip to see family has been acceptable all along?Not for families who live miles apart never got I can't see my

Don't understand the folk who said they couldn't see loved ones why not along as you SD I see my parents most days agreed if their was a big travel distance but in a month we've had unbelievable weather to SD outside has been a piece of cake.
From what he said you wouldn’t be doing anything wrong in theory! That maybe a question the public need to ask tomorrow as he may not have meant it that way, but that’s what it implies. If you can sit with a thousand strangers social distancing its hard to enforce not being able to do that with familyCan I drive from Leeds to exercise on Blackpool prom and accidentally bump into my Dad and sister who were coincidentally out at the same time?

No, you couldn’t travel that far before full stop. But you can now if you socially distance.So 180 mile round trip to see family has been acceptable all along?

But he may have meant it that way. I interpret it that way unless told differently.as he may not have meant it that way, but that’s what it implies.
My point exactly.
We shouldn't be having these conversations. Clarity is key.But he may have meant it that way. I interpret it that way unless told differently.
I think we will tomorrow, but until told differently we can drive where we like with members of our household as long as we socially distance outdoors.We shouldn't be having these conversations. Clarity is key.
You can never ever have clarity on anything because it's easy to pick holes in it and ask questions for arguments sake,like it's dead easy to pull up what Starmer said after without saying anything but I like the bloke.We shouldn't be having these conversations. Clarity is key.
It's not arguments for arguments sake. I haven't seen any family outside of our house for weeks because it's a 90 mile drive.You can never ever have clarity on anything because it's easy to pick holes in it and ask questions for arguments sake,like it's dead easy to pull up what Starmer said after without saying anything but I like the bloke.
I think Blackpool prom will be equally rammed to be honest. Hard to say you can drive to one area and not another though.Cumbria Tourism are appalled, Mountain Rescue are shxtting themselves (tried carrying a stretcher socially distanced?) Total dogs breakfast by someone who does not understand how important detail is. Churchillian, but the dog, not the man
Oh stop it now, I can’t copeJust seen the headline "Non-essential shops open from tomorrow". Does that mean all shops?
I do take the point, Lala, that's why I think guidance is wrong. And, with the greatest respect, you are far less likely to get in physical trouble on the Prom than on the Fells. I don't really know why he could not just have said folk could exercise as much as they like without driving, ala Wales and Scotland. It is adding in a whole extra set of problems, petrol stations, breakdown crews, accident crewsI think Blackpool prom will be equally rammed to be honest.

You just answered your own question, no clarification required. If you want to go to the Lakes with your family then go. But social distance from anyone else at all times. Done.I read it as drive anywhere for exercise, it needs clarifying.
It will be rammed full of walkers and sunbathers if it's a nice day but the rest of the time it will be dead as a dodo.I think Blackpool prom will be equally rammed to be honest. Hard to say you can drive to one area and not another though.
It’s part of lifting restrictions though I guess. Which will be lifted completely in the weeks to come.I do take the point, Lala, that's why I think guidance is wrong.

Do we really need a set of detailed instructions though really?I do take the point, Lala, that's why I think guidance is wrong.

I would drive 40 or so miles to the Dales now based on the lifting of restrictions. That would be to enjoy the journey and the scenery for my own well-being but would still socially distance.I think people are being encouraged to use their common sense. We all understand the general principles by now surely? The idea is that you are trying to keep the risk of becoming infected or infecting others to a manageable level and protect the vulnerable.
So keep your interactions to a minimum
Where you interact with people outside your home, maintain a safe distance
Go to work as required by your employer and work from home if possible
In theory there's no reason why you couldn't travel 180 miles for exercise, but does that really sound like a common sense thing to do at the moment?
