I'm going 80plus miles on the 6th, angling trust responded to a comment underneath saying it is not law to stay local just advised to and said you can now travel further afield to fish. I've stuck to rules the whole time but I'm going now

Likewise Rich. My two (and now a third) syndicate are all between 70-90 miles away. I've stuck totally to the rules as well and will still do so. From the 29th is 'guidance', and the AT have given it the go ahead. That's good enough for me.

Really getting excited about being able to camp out under the stars again. It's like the old 16th.

Just asking but arent the guidelines regarding distance and essential travel laid out by the government and not the AT?
Ok, just re-read the AT statement. So fishing is now classed as an essential journey for recreation etc. but they still advise people to limit the distance they travel.

ive been fishing days on my syndicate for weeks, its around 15 miles away.
in my eyes a local shot is different to a local lake.

There was actually no known definition of local, either from the government, local police or local authority.
"Stay in your local area".
Postcode wise I have IP1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 within 5 miles of my flat, 6 districts, 4 local councils.
It is 23.8 miles to my syndicate lake from home, or 10miles from where I was working, still in the same county, and I could visit without going out of my way. So I would do an agency shift, then go fishing.
Now being able to fish nights from 29th March makes life a lot easier.

I think the point is if you are travelling from, say, Bristol to Oxford, its not necessary as you'll be driving past loads of other waters to get there.......

This is the bottom line. From the 29th of March you are no longer legally required to stay at home. That means you can legally leave your home and not be fined for doing this.
The guidance is to remain local as much as possible. You can't be fined for not following the guidance.
Whether you drive 10 miles to a local lake or a 100 mile round trip to a day ticket/syndicate, whether it's a day session , overnight, or several days , it's 2 journeys.
I don't understand what the difficulty is here. You can follow the law. the guidance, or both.

Exactly.
People moan when we can't go and now we can, some are still moaning. Concentrate on yourself only.
