New Welsh Exercise rules clear as mud.

Man complains he is not permitted to do what he likes on a bike during national crisis.
It's not a good look.

Not as much of a div as you look like with that reply.

Last time I was in Wales I was walking 50-60 miles a day.

Personally, I think we should be keeping the Welsh indoors. Perhaps "forget" to tell them when this is all over?

 

[Bianchi boy]

Does it say that on the government website? https://gov.wales/leaving-home-exercise-guidance

No, nothing on the government website about 10 or 20 miles

I will walk 500 miles and I will walk 500 more

It forces many people to do exercise withing a confined area, thus likely to increase the spread of the virus.

Which you're right, it doesn't suit me.

To put this in context you could have 200 million people safely distancing (no nearer than 2m) in a circle of radius 10 miles. It sounds like this "confined area" argument is a bit of a red herring

Not unless all of them were either stationary or all moving at exactly the same pace in the same direction. Which is total bollox though, and anyone with an ounce of common sense knows this. In the real world people move around at all sorts of different speeds and in different directions. Therefore they will randomly encounter and pass by other people travelling in other directions, and the more densely an area is packed with people the more often they will come into contact with others, and at closer quarters.
If catching the virus bothers you, it's best to be well away from other people in a sparsely populated area. If you have to ride a couple of hours to get there, where's the problem? My attitude would be to tell Drakeford and the Welsh government busybodies to go and do one.

I think that's taking social distancing to the extreme!

Wrong country, too?

This isn't a newspaper article. It's a speculation paper article.

The Welsh health minister was on BBC news this morning claiming the new rules was to help clarify the situation.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Didn't see it but I would put money on that being a junk interview

Emily Chappell ran a marathon this morning - 42 times round the block. From her book I seem to remember she lives in Wales (I could be wrong on that point).

Here's her fund raising page, if you wish to express your shock and disapproval by donating.
