What a bunch of snowflakes- bet none of you have left the house for three months. I suggest you get some fresh air and put your high horses away while you’re on.
I guess if you're one of the hard of understanding and putting an actual, reasoned point together is beyond you this kind of comment is about the best we can expect. Gold star for effort little man.
It's called collective action @airvent. Some people just aren't capable of it, or of understanding it.
That's why you don't set aside the rules or the spirit of them, because you care about other people. Society, community, collective.
I'm just a snowflake.

Unless he teleported to and from home - and didn't need to use a toilet or fill his van with petrol at any point.

I dunno, just go look at any of the other threads. Plenty of (Scottish) people discussing going for long rides in Scotland, bivying, feeling the need to drive somewhere for exercise etc.
Jumping up and down and saying someone from England is drawing attention to it just comes across as xenophobic.
There's a gnats chuff between the English and Scottish rules, by the sounds of this lunchtimes announcement yours are actually going to be less strict than ours. We're allowed a "social bubble" of one other house, north of the border the advice is going to be you can meet two other houses at the same time.
TISNAS, no one is saying the people in Scotland breaking the rules arent bad but this was a thread about Danny Hart specifically so people taking specifically about Danny Hart should come as no surprise.
I would say that someone going for a long ride or bivvy from their door is not as bad as driving all across the country in a van with your family.
He has a big self contained motorhome so could have been in that and not needed to stop at a services....

So we're now onto exemptions based largely on wealth...
Something that size will still need fuel...
I'm not saying it's right, tbh i'm not really bothered, but just saying he might not have had to stop for a piss at a services. I could easily get from my house in Leeds to Golfie and back without refuelling so reckon he could probably do the same in his motorhome, its only 280 miles return from Redcar.
Edit: I don't think its right if its against the rules up there, and he should probably have stayed this side of the border until the rules change.
Utter cockwomble, thats to danny and airvent.
He’s gone to work as far as I’m concerned, like a lot of us.
I could understand the gen pop not getting that a bloke on his bike could be at work, but I’m really surprised some people on here don’t think that. I realise I must be missing something but can’t figure out what?
I'm not entirely sure either, which is why I asked...I think it is because he appears to be on a wee holiday with his family, driving hundreds of miles to ride his bike in a popular place that many people have been avoiding as they have been following their understanding of the guidance (which seems to be widely done). His behaviour appears to be against the guidelines (in England and Scotland).
Well, I don’t know his circumstances but devils advocate would say his wife is his manager and they work together, and they have their children with them because again, like most of us with kids, the only option is to have your kids with you while you’re working.
I’m not sure what guidelines he’s breaking? Big and small groups of workers have been working together all the way through lockdown for work, north and south of the border since the 23rd March.
Some posters have said about stopping for fuel. How’s that any different from a delivery driver stopping for fuel? They are both at work?
I’m pretty envious he gets to do it to be honest, but I can’t really understand the outcry (not necessarily you, OP) on this thread).
Nearly hitting peak STW self righteousness here, and that’s saying something given the general atmosphere of this place. Most of you lot would presumably have been stoning to death adulterers in biblical times.

What's the problem with discussing going for long rides in Scotland, and what has that got to do with someone driving several hundred miles unnecessarily?
You are not supposed to travel to use the forests, pro rider or not. If you are not local you have to stay away.
