You're right, MM. They just won't learn will they. They have based their advice on angling on the Press release from the Angling Trust. I would have thought they'd have checked with Defra, before linking to what is interpretation and sound-bites. Chocolate teapot springs to mind.

This Police leaflet puts it rather succinctly, interpreting 'local' as being 'if you have to drive to get there, it ain't local'.

That is not a Government Notice it has been concocted in an office at Police Headquarters. I would like and appreciate seeing specifics from the Government.

I did point out that it was another interpretation, but one issued by an enforcement body, so it shouldn’t be dismissed lightly. It seems that some people think that going on a 50 mile cycle ride is within the regulations/guidance. Is that staying local?
HMG guidance is easy to find, using an Internet search engine, but to make it even easier, click on this link https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-lockdown-stay-at-home
Regarding travel, HMG guidance is:
”Travel
You must not leave your home unless you have a reasonable excuse (for example, for work or education purposes).
If you need to travel you should stay local – meaning avoiding travelling outside of your village, town or the part of a city where you live – and look to reduce the number of journeys you make overall. The list of reasons you can leave your home and area include, but are not limited to:
• work, where you cannot reasonably work from home
• accessing education and for caring responsibilities
• visiting those in your support bubble – or your childcare bubble for childcare
• visiting hospital, GP and other medical appointments or visits where you have had an accident or are concerned about your health
• buying goods or services that you need, but this should be within your local area wherever possible
• outdoor exercise. This should be done locally wherever possible, but you can travel a short distance within your area to do so if necessary (for example, to access an open space)
• attending the care and exercise of an animal, or veterinary services
If you need to travel, walk or cycle where possible, and plan ahead and avoid busy times and routes on public transport. This will allow you to practise social distancing while you travel.
Avoid car sharing with anyone from outside your household or your support bubble. See the guidance on car sharing.
If you need to use public transport, you should follow the safer travel guidance.

The caption on the photo accompanying that article reads: "Jessica Allen (left) and Eliza Moore are now sticking to walks nearer their homes"
So obviously they didn't need to drive five miles to go for a walk in the first place.

I don't think you can call peppermint tea a picnic though, thinking you might need to add a scotch egg to that
