The words of a true land locked fisherman. 

Well, yes there may be a hint of envy in my posts, but the fact is that the more we all stay at home the safer everyone will be. We don't have to like it to know it makes sense.

Absolutely, and as fishing be it boat or beach is allowed then we English are abiding by the law. Provided we don’t live in Berkshire. 

Yes, I think I am OK, as we are a childcare support bubble with my daughter who is a nurse, and she live less than half a mile from the slip 👍

However, there are not many slipways in Berkshire 🤣 @Andy135

But a lot of us are out nd about working anyway so what’s the difference? 

I guess its about limiting the potential for exposure and spreading. Note I use the word "potential". The thinking is that as you're already out working, you shouldn't then be out for recreation as it's yet another opportunity to spread the virus unknowingly.

@Andy135 , you’ll be ok then, you can do it in under an hour!!

Under an hour? I wish. I can make it from mine to Mercury in just over an hour, but to Gosport/Langstone is around 80-90 mins.

But it's all moot for me until the end of lockdown. 😪

On a more serious note, if the Boris vac plan comes together and folk adhere to the current restrictions, the the virus will squashed from two sides so I can see the ‘’R’ falling quicker than you might expect, so it might be that restrictions are eased a bit by the middle of Feb ....... fingers crossed.

And I've just seen that they've discovered that two existing drugs are also effective at mitigating the inflammation associated with severe Covid cases, and is estimated to save an extra life for every 12 cases. This should help shorten the average stay in ICU and therefore ease some of the pressure on the NHS too.

Exactly..... so hopefully it’s back to normal soon 🙂 (Normal being able to get gym and boat, not worried about seeing people 🤣🤣🤣)

I totally agree Luke. That is why we should all have to obey the rules (law) and some of these well meaning concessions will just lead to people abusing them. Stay at home is the best and correct advice IMHO. Whatever happens there will always be some anomalies, and will lead to some stating they can work together, but not meet out of working hours etc., but it is impossible to legislate for every single situation. Personally I think the govt. has been very helpful to many people (as pensioners we do not qualify for any help and do not expect it), but we still hear people better off than ourselves saying they do not get enough. Lets get the virus beat, buy British and get a bit more "Great" back in Brittain. Geoff.

Fortunately for us it's a crap time of year for fishing coming up, the weather is also to cold for me +my boat comes out of the water on the 26th for the annual workathon, that will put paid to my thoughts of sneaking out making the pain not so bad .  On that basis I shall be doing the right thing, l'll shall stay at home, keep warm and dream of better times

So it seems that driving even 5 miles for exercise is not permitted... in Derbyshire at least. Two women go for a walk round a reservoir after separately driving 5 miles from their homes, and each get handed £200 fines.

Local danglers beware?
