It's not though

They've changed the advice wildly like they're gearing up to lift lockdown. You may now drive to the shop to buy luxuries and beer. You may now exercise more than once per day and for longer than 1 hour, in fact on a long walk you are permitted to stop for lunch...and you may drive to go on a walk "as long as you spend more time walking than driving". Seeing as you can walk all day you can presumably drive somewhere half a day's travel away.

Opinions aside they need to sort out the advice; how clear it is and how it's disseminated

As someone who lives in a beauty spot right now and has seen an uptick in people around, I do think people should be able to drive to the closest greenspace to them (not keen on across town though as they all end up pooling at the popular spots). Some people live in areas where it isn't particularly safe to walk around in let alone appealing - and it's important people stay fit (mentally too).
