Apparently: 'Driving trips not limited, provided rules observed' according to Raab quoted on the BBC News.
There are no specific limits on distances drivers can travel within one of the UK nations under the new rules, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has said.
"You can drive as far as you want to, for example to walk in a park or particular area you're fond of, as long as you maintain the social distancing," he tells BBC Breakfast.
"But obviously if you're going from one part of the UK to another - from England to Wales or Scotland to Wales - different rules are in place because the devolved governments take a different approach."
Perhaps someone needs to politely ask some local councils to remove the concrete blocks on some approach roads to the parks.
Btw, Have I missed a secret tunnel between Scotland and Wales ? [8|]

So off to Dartmoor for a yomp
Unless they change the statutory instrument, the law will trump whatever Boris et al say. The fines are said to be going up, from the £60 in the current law to £100, so I'm assuming the legislation will be updated for both that and the offences:

Yes that's my understanding too Twinfan. I'm also assuming this is why the new rules will not actually apply until Wednesday (despite Boris' "get back to work tomorrow" rhetoric in his speech yesterday!) as it will give them time to update the SI. Hopefully there will be more detail in the Parliamentary statement and documentation this afternoon.
