I agree there is definitely a lack of clarity in some areas but i do think that prompting a no from the government about night fishing is a bit daft

If it hadn't been mentioned before, and clearly adds no additional covid 19 risk to us going out to fish then it was a question that didn't need asking.

I doubt whichever minister made that decision would know the difference between camping and carping. To be fair there have been many quiet nights where I've questioned it myself

Lots of references to the old closed season, but round my way we could still go to the pub, the shop, the gym, see our mates, go on holiday

Did the closed season stop everything in some parts of the country

Hey Sir, I do understand where you're coming from, but I do think different hobbies have different considerations based on the ability to self isolate, as has already been hinted upon by the government

If we have to wait until all hobbies are allowed, for example going to a festival with thousands of others, then it's going to be a while

And this all based on the assumption that social distancing is happening, which clearly is not to the extent I thought it was. If your hobby is going to the pub to chat with your mates then you just have to drive to the co-op instead

OK so looking for the positive in that otherwise disappointing realisation.

I thought the numbers had leveled because of social distancing, but if the only social distancing is us not being able to go and sit by ourselves, then it should all be over soon, right

Just went to local co-op for some veg, busiest I've ever seen it.

Apparently there are 2 metre lines on the floor weaving round the shop but no-one was more than a foot away from someone else, probably 30 or 40 of them

I turned around at the door and went to the mini M&S instead, which was virtually empty

First time I've been to a shop in the daytime for weeks, it's it like that everywhere?

I hope my 20 minute drive comes under their phase one local travel. Phase 2 is organised boat trips etc so if non local is the same class as that it could be years

A month or two? Have you noticed how quiet this thread has gone after only a week and a half

Not diy please, I'm much more likely to be a drain on the NHS with 15 minutes of power tool use than 15 minutes driving

Speaking to friends who do other activities, I think the same discussion is being had by many other groups.

I don't think the motocross track one was very convincing, but it seems its OK to drive your mountain bike to a bike venue because cycling is on the list.

BTW, looks like numbers of new cases have now leveled out for a few days, so that must be a good sign

Cheers m8. Let's hope in 3 weeks time if everyone can be sensible we can start to go back to normal, but I think it's going to get harder before our gets easier

Good luck to you to though
