Isolation calendar.

apparently, it is OK to drive somewhere to enjoy a country walk...so there you are Hill Walker...you CAN enjoy a moorland walk....it is NOT illegal, it is permitted and it is probably a lot safer than going to the supermarket.

Likewise Ryewolf...if you want to go somewhere on a country walk...and take your camera...you can do that too...so these pleasures are not denied you...and they migh just make this isolation a bit more bearable.
They will certainly make it more pleasant for us because we get to see what you captured with your camera.

You are quite correct for England. Unfortunatly I'm in Wales where the restrictions are somewhat different. They are regulations not recommendations and do have the force of law. See:-


https://gov.wales/staying-home-and-away-others-guidance


Additionally I'm in the National Park which is closed and all off-road access is currently prohibited to the general public. The lunacy which I referred to was when just before the lockdown started, more people decended on various mountains and beaches in North and Mid Wales than had ever been seen on a single day before. They not only disobeyed what was at the time good advice but blocked many roads (with illegal parking) in a way that would have prevented access by emergency services had they been needed.


One twerp who had to be rescued from a mountain even asked his rescuers "where can I go tomorrow to take photos?'!!!!" see the 2nd incident report:-

I'm sure it was this sort of behaviour that caused Cardiff to introduce a stricter situation than London.
 
Oh, that's a shame....I could just see youstriding over the Yorkshire moors.....with sheep looking balefully on.

In truth, I had not realised that the regulations in Wales were different.

Thank you for the links...they were enlightening.

We will both have to rely on Ryewolf then with his pictures of the outdoors.

No problem. Have a look at the video which I think was taken from a SNP warden's van and contemplate what the situation would be for a fire engine or ambulance trying to get through that lot and thats not the worst example that we saw that weekend. Remember also that for quite a few places in NW you are 45-60 minutes away from the nearest hospital and thats with blue lights and no traffic problems.

All the cars on the right are illegally parked.

Yes I have spent time in Snowdonia .....Llyn Padarn, Llanberis pass, so I know there are some very isolated places...places that are very difficult for rescue vehicles to get to.
 
It certainly is son...and I love that picture.
I am hoping to be able to revisit Liverpool......I have a soft spot in my jeart...Ma is there now in the faculty of medicine.....I would like to add an engraved lock to the one already there...engraved with her name.
Not sure if it will be possible.
There is supposed to be a thanksgiving service later on this year...but it may not happen.
We'll see.
