How far backing land is 'beside the seaside'? A mile back? Or only on the seafront? Or 2 miles back? Or, for example, the town boundaries of Redcar?
I don't live 'in the sticks' but my closest click n collect is 10 or 14 miles away. So is that local? Or should I go to my local CoOp which is 3 mins walk away? But I shop for my mum too and you can't get it all in the CoOp. So if I can't get a pick up at the 10 mile Tesco but get the 14 mile Tesco and by the time I have got my mum's shopping, delivered it and gone home I've done a 30 mile round trip is that local? And if it is can someone drive 10 miles to the Coast for local exercise?
@tripleheader I know what you are saying and as best as I can I have 'stayed local' but I am just showing how despite it initially seeming really simple to 'stay local' in reality when 'local' isn't defined it is down to interpretation. Personally I wouldn't dream of driving to the coast and going for a walk, I can walk in the streets near my house.
Those judging might do well to remember that they aren't the Covid Police - the rules / laws are there so people can make their own judgement calls. The public in the main are being sensible. I wouldn't be worried about outdoor gatherings and I don't think the Gov are either.
