Just be careful if you do go outside the 10 miles as i have just been told that big John has been drafted in to stop cyclists?

Well considering you’re only supposed to meet 1 other person and be exercising, why wouldn’t they?
I took a walk from my house, today and explored an area I’ve not walked down, before, even though I’ve lived here for 6 years and it was lovely! Countryside in a Town, goodness knows why I’ve not walked down there before. There was quite a bit of traffic around, when I walked back along the roads, but less than a normal Saturday.

Herds of walkers around our way today. They all appeared to be showing the same depressive expressions of lockdown........

Whilst my work is closed to students, I have been going in every day and the roads I use got quieter and quieter as the week went on but I do feel there may be further guidance this week for a tighter lockdown along with a warning about enforcement.
Maybe more a concern than a prediction.

Why a concern if you have to go to work as it cannot be done from home? If you can do your job from home, then you should

My concern relates to what little enjoyment I can still extract from life outside work will be further curtailed.
As for work, I carry out various tasks that can't be done from home that supports our learners.

Last night’s news showed people out in Regents park Looked pretty crowded A place to be avoided I would have thought Derbyshire constabulary would have had a field day Didn’t see anyone carrying take away drinks though

Objectively, UK car use was 60% of pre-covid baseline on Tuesday. In March/April lockdown, it was more like 35%. November 80%. More data Wednesday. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/transport-use-during-the-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic

But I'm cautious, as New Year is so unpredictable - will wait for the Week2 stats.

For whatever reasons, people are really not getting the message this time around. Police getting bad press too, for handing out fines to miscreants. No point having restrictions in place if they are not being enforced. Bring on the fines, and lots of them; IMHO...

And this is the problem if people are constrained to their part of town, city, village. It concentrates people into the available green spaces. It increases the risk of transmission.
If councils had some balls and actually closed off roads to traffic and opened up the full width to pedestrians/ cyclists / runners we would see people more spread out.
