It's barmy, the whole lot of it. The Stanley Johnson version's worse.: If you are rich enough to have a second home abroad that is one of the allowed reasons to travel out if the country. Anyone deciding they'd like to go and chill out somewhere (assuming you could find anywhere plague free) can expect a £5000 fine just for turning up at an airport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Dorset, Until today it was a joke 3 times I've been followed, last time police car did a U turn when I was coming out of petrol station 200yds from my house!! So I lead him around the back streets of Parkstone! He pissed off after 2 miles of 20mph roads and speed bumps! But today did 127 miles and no police!!! Fingers crossed hoping to get out tomorrow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just to confuse us all the more, we are allowed to do 'minimal travel' in England for the next 2 weeks but we are urged to stay local. HOWEVER...it's guidance only to stay local, not enforceable by law. So enjoy the Easter weekend and ride safe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a member of the National Trust and they have emailed members inviting them to visit places that are open. So if that's ok then staying local seems to allow a fair degree of travel. It's about using common sense. You'd better off traveling 30 miles to walk alone than 1 mile to fill a park with people. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I've been riding / driving about 100 miles from home albeit remaining in England. I haven't ventured into Wales nor into any large town until yesterday when I went to Bristol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that may change after 12 April? I think it's ridiculous we have different rules for different parts of the UK. Our daughter lives just inside Wales but works in England and the rules are just silly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Beyond silly I think. Stark raving bonkers with a few expletives thrown in. Friend of mine lives near Wrexham and his nearest supermarket in England is just over a mile. Turned away by the cops so has to go 15 miles to one in Wales. Ludicrous. Also given we are a single country and that Welsh and English law are the same how legal is it? A shame some rich person never challenged it in full court. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Well that's nearly 100 miles done, went out towards Thorne then I think I followed the A18 to Crowle, picked up the A161 to Gainsborough, onto Retford then Worksop, went A57 towards Sheffield, picked up another road to Rotherham, found the A161 going back to Bawtry ended up going through Tickhill and onto the A60 back home to donny. Didn't manage to empty the tank still half left but it was a great ride, and went on some new to me roads and went through some new to me towns and villages which was a bonus 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
