There isn't a time limit and they are GUIDELINES not legal restrictions and that is why the police have stepped back from some of their initial positions.
The way I see it is this, if I went out and run, I'd cover 5-7 miles and around 1,000 ft on a typical run on the hills here.
If I walk it, I'm less at risk from a tumble, an ankle turn.... and it fits nicely with Mrs WP being off work atm that I can do half a day working from home and then a decent walk.
We shouldn't start judging each others efforts.
Today I took some routes I rarely use to get to Darwen Moor and back. Only passed about 3 people and all at more than 5 metres distance, apart from an elderly couple sat on a bench at the bottom of Donkey Brew who were still beyond the 2m.
12.3 miles, 4:03 and 1900ft - cracking.

You are all correct, there is no time restrictions within the guidance.
Enjoy your time in the fresh air wherever it takes you.
I would imagine that this weekend is going to be a nightmare, perhaps it would have been better to ban everything for the Bank holiday, unfortunately the sort of people who feel the need to ignore the restrictions are going to have a field day this weekend
9.49 miles over Loughrigg again, 2,700 ft, 2 hours and 15 minutes - lovely day for it. Distance keeping easy, very few about, almost no cars. Hopefully over Easter it is much the same.
Isn't the problem that if everyone went out for 2 - 3 hours every day then it would become crowded and maybe a more enforced lockdown imposed as I believe is the case in Spain. So we are ok providing the majority don't take advantage of the guidelines.
Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
