I cycled 30 miles of a Lancashire section of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal today - in one direction (so yes I then had to cycle back to my car although that was a bit shorter by road) - and because it was mainly urban and it was hot and it was Saturday it was very busy and I encountered several thousand people.
It was noticeable that many young people (ie teenagers) pay no regard to social distancing. Maybe that should not be a surprise but seeing a group of a dozen or so teenagers lying about chatting/ smoking/ listening to music/ swimming in the canal (!!) or wandering along in close proximity ceased to be unusual after a while.
I'm not 15 any more so who am I to judge - but it's the truth.
