"Not tmw but I will be taking my daughter to the beach within the next week and that will be 260odd mile round trip.
Hope you have a super trip.  "
she has special needs and she should have been going on a seaside day trip with her support group. She has been crossing off the days ... so I'm going to take her and have some time sat on the beach hopefully. Get some shells for making stuff. Do sand sculptures and hopefully cheer her up. |

to be fair we were told that those with certain conditions could travel anyway. But.. I didnt want to risk getting pulled over and her having a panic about it.. so have waited till it was allowed for all |

"Who is traveling tomorrow under the 'irrespective of distance' clause?
We are, 340 mile round trip.
"
Travel daily, keeps me sane, always go out for a countryside drive.
average 35,000 miles per year. |

Nope, I'm still social distancing and not driving for miles as nothing is worth that drive. There has already been a massive resurgence of traffic on the road, so I'm sitting back and waiting for the 2nd wave. Longer this goes on, the longer we're closed. So I'm staying put and I wish other people would too but the floodgates have been opened, so it's going to be one big clusterfuck on the roads, parks and beaches. |

Nope, I'm going to continue doing the bare minimum with regards to my travelling about. Just because restrictions have eased it's not the time to go wooohoooooo let's go! I expect a local beauty spot near me will be packed at the weekend like it used to be before lockdown  |

"I hope hundreds dont pile onto beaches etc or beauty spots and are sensible"
Of course they will you can’t educate stupid!!! Living in a seaside town we are all scared with the influx we may see come the weekend.
It takes just once visitor with the virus even without them knowing and it could potentially kill dozens if not hundreds in the town.
Those planning to drive just for the sake of it or because they can are selfish in my opinion and have no regard for anyone else but themselves.
We only have a very small hospital 30 mins away the implications are huge for our town. |

"I would double check where you are going a lot of resorts are issuing statements telling people to stay away closing all car parks etc. And banning shops from opening "
That’s that’s advantage of living 5 mins from the beach ,not sure where visitors will spend a penny no public toilets open

No I won’t, I don’t see any reason to change anything just yet. I don’t think it is particularly welcomed by the people that live in these tourist type areas either. I have friends in The Lake District and they are dreading it. They don’t get a choice though do they? |

So are those of us who work in the NHS in Cumbria, sunny weather in the Lakes = broken bones and full wards. |

I won’t be but then again if nobody does then what’s the point of the steps to ease the lockdown as they won’t know if it’s working if nobody is doing any of it? So if they don’t see infections and death rates go up they’ll ease something else and so on. |

If I go anywhere it will be a motorcycle ride to a quiet beach,ie one not in a town or village.
I can't see the point in going to a resort as nothing will be open and no locals to annoy.
There are a couple within 30 miles and will probably only stay there for an hour and ride home again. |

Yup. And if you were my family member or friend I would want to stand (will probably go for a long walk together really) two meters apart too. |

How will dozens or hundreds get infected and die if they are social distancing and using good hand hygiene ? |

"It'll be shit if you can't have a shit when you head to the beach. Because all the public toilets are shut.
Take a wind break. A 2 gallon bucket and a poop scoop. "
Sounds like a good business proposal there - £1 for a number one - £2 for a number two and 50p for hand sanitiser?
You will literally be rolling in it |

I wouldn't have thought they would be shut. As people are needing to wash hands. Ours are open in the two town centres near. We have a radar key though so should be okay |

Tomorrow I'll be doing the same as normal commuting to work, tomorrow by bike and suspect the roads coming home will be the busiest I've seen them in a while. Not planning any long trips, not entirely convinced the relaxation of lockdown is the right thing to do but given we can travel further afield looking forward to heading somewhere different to walk on Sunday although it will be relatively local and quiet |

Sad to say I also think it will be a mess
The 10 15 hot spots will be ,erm,hot
I'll treat it like a bank holiday and go to my quiet spots

How can a person practise good hand hygiene when there isn’t anywhere open to wash hands?
In a busy seaside down how can you actively socially distance?.
We have over 15 old folks homes here my garden backs onto one with 50 dementia patients all are currently covid free. It takes one person visiting from elsewhere who’s infected to touch something in a supermarket, a petrol pump then a key worker touches it and the cycle starts again.......

No, they will be closed. Several councils of seaside resorts have already stated this. |

Are you saying
No one in your town has the virus ???
Are you saying key workers do not practice preventive hygiene when shopping
Are you suggesting it's ok not to have procedures and practices in place in these homes for WHEN not if ,when a key worker becomes infected from a local ???
Beyond that it's still ridiculous the number who will decend upon the limited resources of a small number of towns but then it was ridiculous every bank holiday for the last erm 40 years
It may or not increase the risk but the risk is in your town regardless of the hoards

I'll still be staying local as I have done since lockdown started.
The furthest I've travelled in lockdown has been a 12 mile round trip - only once for a medical related matter, but at any other time, it's been a once a month 4 mile food shopping journey.
Otherwise, I stay within half a mile of my base at shops in town.

Seeing how many walkers in groups are coming through our tiny village, I'm afraid we will be having a second wave. I don't think it's in the spirit of the lockdown. Wonder why our death rate is so high? |

i think this is where you are going to see conflicts happening between locals and out of towners
how you then keep this under control i haven't a clue....you are potentially bring asking for hotspots in rural locations that don't have the same hospital resources they do in cities, and at the some time you could be looking at people from one city mixing it with another and cause more issues....
i fear for this weekend if it is warm.... because i think this could turn into a ticking timebomb!! |

The trouble is this time bomb is going to kill not only them but possibly their families as well - who would risk that ? not me !!
Stay at home people; take care of you and yours ! |

So we are building a beach in the back garden for now "
I think that's a wise decision, and sounds like fun.

People need to be aware that if they bring themselves and their families to Sunny Blackpool this weekend you will find a few burger shacks open along with a couple of rock shops, however there isn't a single toilet available to use, so good luck |

Well did the round trip and I can report that . . .
The roads and motorways were very quiet, at the destination it was quiet on the streets and more than half of the people that were out and about were wearing face coverings. It was clear that a few people had met as they were walking in twos but 2meteres away from each other.
The only issue I had was one idiot driver who overtook me on the hard shoulder of the M6 in a 50 mph zone probably doing more than 70 mph (I have uploaded the video to the Police website as my dashcam caught his plate very clearly)
