Todays permitted exercise!

The other point to ruminate is that the longer you are out and the further you are away from home, the higher your chance of needing the emergency services becomes. Admittedly, this is not something that would cross our minds normally but in current circumstances you should weigh that up. Is it fair/right/morally acceptable to take on that risk?

Balance of risks and common sense - most injuries needing outside help occur in the home. Nobody would ever ride a bike if the risk had to be reduced as much as possible. Whilst my usual run these days is about 2 hours 15 minutes, I am doubling back on myself a lot of the time and am never actually very far from home. Top of Loughrigg is hardly distant or extreme terrain. And it is mainly grass.
