So can I go on a picnic with one person not in my household

[CleverQuacks]

Been listening to all the updates on lockdown and trying to work out if I am allowed a picnic from the 8th of March. I know currently you can meet one person for exercise and I thought I read earlier that picnics were now allowed with one person from the 8th but can’t find it for certain.

Yes you can but to be honest everyone is doing it now anyway so it’s hardly an easing!

From BBC website:

From 8 March - All schools will open with outdoor after-school sports and activities allowed. Recreation in an outdoor public spaces - such as a park - will be allowed between two people, meaning they would be allowed to sit down for a coffee, drink or picnic

From 29 March - Outdoor gatherings of either six people or two households will be allowed. It is understood this will include gatherings in private gardens. Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis or basketball courts will reopen and organised adult and children's sport, such as grassroots football, will also return

Agreed, biggest non news of all time that one!

Great thank you!

I wonder if that means parkrun can return?

It's the epitome of grass roots activity. But the numbers can be larger than individual fixtures (though perhaps not tournaments)
