Support bubbles - can I still have mine out of my area?

Can't find a clear answer anywhere. Single parent household. Can I still bubble with my parents 2 hours away? I just want to know what the law / guidance is. (We are all happy about the risk: they are shielders, we are isolating other than seeing them - no shops, no stopping on route at services, no socially distant walks with a friend.)

Yes, you can travel to/from a support bubble, distance doesn't matter.

Yes. You count as one household.

Yes you are fine. The guidance says you should stay local but this is irrelevant as it is not binding. The law does not set any limit on the distance travelled (assuming you are in England, I cannot comment on Scotand or Wales - what on earth has happened to national unity?).

thank you! In England I got a bit freaked out by those women being fined for driving about 5 miles for a walk
