I'm reading stuff from local police saying that whatever the advice being circulated by MCN et.al. we still shouldn't be riding our bikes..... The whole thing is a nightmare open to personal interpretation and opinion.

Interestingly I've just read this from Thames Valley Police, posted today on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thamesvp/posts/10157670008933655. It includes the line "Although some of the Government guidance has changed this week, you still must only travel for essential reasons, such as for work or exercise", which is simply not true despite their numerous requotes of the link to the new guidelines I posted earlier. There are hundreds of follow-up comments to the post, which are divided between non-motorcyclists banging on about bad behaviour by bikers that they've recently witnessed (and probably fair enough), and bikers who are indignantly pointing out to the police that they are providing incorrect information which isn't even backed up by the link they provided.

You do not seem to be anywhere near Thames Valley so not sure why you are worrying about them.

My local police seem to have more accurate info on their Facebook page. Only annoyance is the Heddlu presence at Chepstow, Monmouth etc which means I had to take a different route yesterday to cross the River Wye to get back home.

Oh I'm not (and as you know I have bigger biking problems than this right at the moment!). I saw it posted on FB by a friend in that area - in fact here's a very similar one from North Yorkshire Police: https://www.facebook.com/tim.garman.1/posts/10221794694484652

I don't see that as a statement from the police, just some journalist fomenting NIMBYism in Hawes. We have it here, with a few villages in the Cotsowlds putting up signs saying, "village closed". Bourton on the Water being the most vocal. It was nice to see Bibury has not done this when I visited today. Perhaps 10 cars there today with people enjoying a walk along the river and some going into the trout farm shop. The ducks were taking over the coach park and a view from close to Adam's farm.
