Todays permitted exercise!

[JohnK]

Yet to encounter any social distancing problems between 0400-0630, the friendly local farmer has left all his gates open and if he is around he is happy to exchange a few pleasantries nice bloke, the dawn chorous is a joy, often see Hares, Deer, Stoats, first of the adders this week

But best of all I am back home playing with my toys when the madding crowd is out, in fact to date I have nothing to twinne about (but then I dont do social media) and I only look for positives long may it continue.

Stay safe people

[Wheeze]

I'm with my toys too...two wheeled motorised by any chance??

and I only look for positives long may it continue.

I think this is exactly the attitude you need to take to thrive at a time like this...

Whilst I don't like being stuck at home, it's a chance to concentrate on training hard... (not much else to do other than train and work!)

If I get furloughed I'm planning to use the additional time to really push on with learning Italian.

Might as well get out the other side having done something worthwhile...

Four wheels first namely a 1989 Cherry red mini 30 (completly bog standard resto to maintain it`s value) a fair bit of panel replacement needed which is always interesting I am hoping that once the resto is complete I will be able to tow it behind my T3 Campervan (Just for fun and only occasionly for winter trips) also once the mini 30 is done I will then be able to unearth my BMW R65 and start the restoration on it, again with the intention of towing behind the Campervan for trips into Scotland (Summertime} there is also a mini Racing Green to be restored but that baby is a long way from standard with a some interesting mods but thats on the back burner at the moment.

I am guessing your toys are two wheel based are they British, Japenese, German or maybe American then again Perhaps italian based?
I am sure that playing with toys is well within the Goverment TPE remit as I find Mechanicing is both mentally and Physically demanding and rewarding therefore this is the appropiate thread to discuss it.


Have fun and stay safe.

Todays PDE was a 52 mile and 5,200 feet bike ride over to the Hope Valley and a lovely, car and fume free, ascent of Winnats Pass. Down into Chapel en le Frith, Whaley Bridge and up Long Hill to Buxton and then back home.
Very few cyclists or people about until I got to Chapel and Whaley when the roads were busy with cars and people. I found this a bit odd but perhaps it was because this was the first time I have been into a town or highly populated area for over 3 weeks.

Plan to keep to the sticks from now on!

New police guidelines issued on lockdown rules, and 'reasonable' reasons to leave home
The Crown Prosecution Service has developed new guidance to end the confusion of what police can and cannot enforce in the lockdown.

At a Glance guide to Dos and Don'ts



Dos

Drive to countryside but walk must take longer than time driving

Short rest on a park bench during long walk

Buy non-essential items or luxuries during weekly shop at supermarket

Buy small amounts of staples or necessities like milk, newspaper and pet food

Collect surplus basic food items from a friend

Buy tools and supplies to repair a fence panel

Travel to work when not reasonably possible to work from home

Deliver food packages to vulnerable people

Moving to a friend’s address for several days to allow a ‘cooling-off’ after arguments at home

Take an animal for treatment

Don’t’s

Drive for a prolonged period with only brief exercise

Take a short walk to a park bench but then remain seated for a much longer period

Choose to work from home in a local park

Knock on doors offering to do cash in-hand work

Visit a vet’s surgery in person to renew a prescription when it could be done over the phone

Visit a friend in their address or meeting in public to socialise

Buy paint and brushes, simply to redecorate a kitchen

Whether the police will follow those guidelines is another matter.

Last Saturday I drove 2.5 miles to a local trail, to start and finish my 10 mile run. I guess it must have taken me five or six minutes to do get there. There was only one other car parked in the vicinity.

When I got back to my car, there was a police flyer underneath the windscreen wipers. It was a general document, but one of the things it said was that you shouldn't drive at all to exercise. This was already at odds with the guidance of their own National Police Chiefs Council's guidance from 10 days earlier. This had said that people were permitted to drive a reasonable distance to exercise. The police who had put the flyer on my car obviously had my registration plate in front of them, so could have easily performed a DVLA check to ascertain that this is exactly what I had done.

Since then, I have not driven to exercise, only running from my house. I have no confidence in the police to follow the law or their own guidance and I don't want to get a fine.

The first "Do" on the CPS list makes it even more explicit that you can drive a reasonable distance to exercise.

Drive to countryside but walk must take longer than time driving

Will it make any difference?

Whilst interesting and heartening in many ways, I would be wary of viewing this as a list of 'Dos and Donts'. This is police guidance for what is 'likely to be ok' within the law. What is morally right is perhaps a different matter. A two hour drive for a 5 hour recce of Borrowdale is probably a stretch!

As every other police statement has, it also way overreaches police powers.

I've got 3 road based hilly circuits around me. 14 miles 1600ft climb that I do on my mountain bike since I am resting my plantar fasciitis. Do a circuit alternate days. Its turned out to be excellent exercise and I've dropped the half stone I gained since stopping racing. It's not as satisfying as running but needs must!
