I was working on your posts 47 and 62 of a week ago when you said you were driving 10 mins down the road. Not sure why you would write that if you were not.

And I have resumed doing so today.
Yes. There has been a steady drip feed from the government as to what is/is not acceptable re why/how long for you are permitted to leave your home, but as of now short car journeys to local areas are permitted.So are we allowed to drive short distances to walk now?
They always have been allowed, but some police forces have overreacted and been draconian.Yes.

I hope you argued it with them! It's not legal to do that, you are allowed out.Dyfed Powys Police being just one force. They ticketed me this afternoon ?

Our local police are only ticketing those who park in closed car parks (yes, they keep moving barriers) blocking highway junctions or parking in unethical placesI hope you argued it with them! It's not legal to do that, you are allowed out.
I refused to take it and told they weren’t following guidelines and that I was. We’ll see what happens
Good for you! I'd be fighting it all the way, we are not living in a police state. Yet.I refused to take it and told they weren’t following guidelines and that I was. We’ll see what happens
Hopefully they won't have closed the car park, they've started doing that round here.well i am going to do the 5 min drive to my local park and walk my dogs from tomorrow. i am an oldie and have dodgy hips and back and the only walks direct from home involve hills and uneven going,, im fine going down but its really difficult going up. my local park is on the level and is mostly man made paths so pretty even...hopefully that wont be frowned upon...
if they have closed it there are plenty of places for me to park but as i have an annual permit which i have paid for i hope i can use the car park..Hopefully they won't have closed the car park, they've started doing that round here.
So in future you can just whip out iplayer .
You should buy a Shetland ?I can't believe how many strangers have been walking and cycling round the lanes here. That includes numerous people using the footpath across the horses field . I'm wondering if you can attack train horses ?
I’m glad that you found that soundbite, I knew that a government bod had clarified that driving short distances to walk was acceptable, but I couldn’t then find the source again.Matt Hancock apparently said on Question Time it was ok for people to get in their car and drive to take their dog for a walk.
well around here the shops close at 8pm.....judging by the amount of poo on one short local walk i think people doing a quick evening walk and leaving their sh $ T.On my way back from the yard last night at around 8.45pm I noticed there were far more cars on the road than there have been lately. I do hope the novelty of it all isn’t wearing off for some
