Hi Bill, I am aware that in my village there appear to be people staying in properties that are not their main home.

I saw the report re the "250 breaches". The report also said that 50% of the breaches were to investigate reports of people staying in 'holiday homes' so maybe people are getting fed up with others taking the proverbial.

However, it was attributed to one tweet from a D&C Police control room staff member and having seen not other coverage will presume that if the media are so lazy and sensationalism seeking that they need to quote tweets as if there news or fact, I need to take it with a pinch of salt.

Maybe, maybe not, but I regularly see unfamiliar faces on my daily walk around my village. As you’ll know many of these folks do stand out. The BBC news item contains the name of the control room supervisor and related comment from the Deputy Chief Constable, so not sure I’d discount it as fake news?

"making it very difficult to pass without inhaling somebody elses breath as most are not wearing face masks"

So, do you think that a face mask somehow contains all your exhaled breath?

I dont know why you have to ask such a question,

"When you wear a mask – even a cloth mask – you typically are exposed to a lower dose of the coronavirus than if you didn’t. Both recent experiments in animal models using coronavirus and nearly a hundred years of viral research show that lower viral doses usually means less severe disease."

We believe in experts. We believe knowledge must inform decisions

I spent 10 years on BHS Bridleways Committee, mainly trying to help both riders, cyclists and walkers keep safe, trying to keep Bridleways fit for purpose. It was astonishing the amount of rancour between the groups. The lack of understanding was difficult at times as well. 

Always an issue where a safe path ends for certain groups, forcing them into unsafe roadways. I certainly wouldn’t want to be riding a horse on some of the road routes we had to do 25 years ago. Likewise, in bad conditions, horses and cycles can quickly churn up a footpath.

There are stretches of bridleway on the route JV, I believe?

Apologies, this was removed as I posted.

I suspect that David read your post as I did. We both no doubt thought that we would prefer to not infringe peoples rights to drink coffee given the situation. If I found an area such that I did not feel able to safely distance I would go elsewhere and be glad to see that the coffee shack was at least making some trade.

Observing somebody vaping graphically illustrates the danger posed by getting too close. The volume and rapid distribution of potentially contaminated air being expelled from the person’s lungs is shocking.
