Can my children go out for another walk today?

[1278kj]

I’m aware it’s episode of exercise today. I have not been out today.

Basically my partner took dc and the dog out this morning before he went to work - he has to go to work. I was waiting in for a delivery so couldn’t go.

Going a little crazy and thinking of going out for a walk myself but that means two walks for dc today!

I live in a rural area. Hardly anyone around. Probably wouldn’t meet anyone and plenty of open space to socially distance anyway.

Aibu to take them out for another walk?

Did people see this about the police?

They saw a feed from a comedy club - it had been reported to the police by someone who thought they were doing a live show.

The police raided the place - with many police officers - but found it was empty - as the show was prerecorded

I see the police aren't socially distancing very well

That’s just a silly comment. They’re not working with inanimate objects, they can’t social distance and I’m bloody grateful that they’re doing their job in trying to protect us, even if they made a mistake this time. You might as well say nurses aren’t socially distancing when they’re working with patients. 🙄

Phil, I fear you are right. People turning against one another is one of the many, many awful things about this whole business.

Normally, human interaction involves a degree of trust on both sides, even between people who are strangers. This has currently been replaced by mistrust, even between families, neighbours and friends.

The frothers need to start getting angry with the Gov!
Say this louder, please. Right now it suits the Government just fine that the public are angry with each other, and not with them.

OP

Are you Nigel Farage?

He has been walking 8 time in 5 days

@wanderings - I could not agree more!

@cantata totally agree and this is why I will never report neighbours for this. As far as children are concerned, we don't have an issue as at 13 and 18 they obviously know what's going on and have been brilliant.

I can only imagine what it must be like for a single parent with very young children trying to cope, we know a neighbour with 3 of them and I wouldn't dream of reporting them if they were out more than the once a day.

Your question has been answered more than once by me, and many many MANY times over by dozens of posters on here.
Just re-read the thread. Please. Better still, refer to the PM's guidance on this simple matter.
I kindly request you now stop asking me the same thing over and over. If you just want the satisfaction of thinking you're right just keep thinking that. You're NOT right as you well know but just keep pretending anyway as it seems to make you happy.

There's just no getting through to some people and therefore no point wasting my energy...

Yes. I live rurally and take the 5 mile run I need for sanity at 5:30am in the hills. Later I take the 3 year old out for her 20min exercise. I tried putting in the running buggy for both of on the multi use trail (she hops in and out) and we encounter a lot more people. The number of outings is less important than minimising contact.

Think it depends where u live and if you’ll encounter others

We live in residential steer but back on to a field. It’s got no access from the street so my kids have been on their all day and their isn’t another soul there

Equally I walk the dog a few hours a day (2-3 times) and don’t see anyone

I’m not going to stay in on that basis but would if I lived in busy street and walked roadside

Wrong there used 🙈

@timefordinnerdinnerdinner The answer to my question is NOBODY IS PUT AT ADDITIONAL RISK in the ops situation.

People going ‘ it’s the rules’ is not answering the question....

There's just no getting through to some people and therefore no point wasting my energy.../ There's irony!😃

Indeed @mooboy

All these people bleating in about "it's the rules. Once a day. End of." Need some lessons in common sense.

Who is putting people at greater risk, A or B?

A. Goes out for ONE 90min walk, in a busy and popular green space. They pass by a little family in their walk there. They open a gate to get into the green space, they walk by 10 other families. They climb over a stile halfway round, stop and chat to a family they know, obviously maintaining their distance. And then return home, passing 2 more families, having enjoyed their one allowed piece of exercise per day.

B. Goes out if their house at 10:30, up their back garden, through their gate, into an empty field at 7am. They return home 30 minutes later. Around 6pm. They repeat this.

According to the beaters of "IT'S THE RULES!!!!" Person A is brilliant and person B is killing everyone....

In your situation I would (but wouldn't post it on here). I'm my situation I'm not going out more than once a day, as I'm in an urban location where the green spaces within walking distance are busy. I'm able to keep the required distance by stepping off the paths at the moment, but if more people were going out more than once a day or for a long time it wouldn't be possible.
