In the UK, Brits are now allowed out of the house just once a day for a run or a walk, and this has to be solitary or in company with members of the same household. Police will be dispersing meetings of more than 2 people. This is not actually the rule here yet, so small groups of us could theoretically still go for a run or walk from the same location, as long as we maintain social distancing recommendations. But it's only sensible to assume that something like the UK lock-down is on its way, quite possibly within the next few days.
This last Sunday at Lake Samsonvale we generally managed to keep the recommended 1 - 1.5 metre distance from one another. And some special serving arrangements were in place for the meal to try to minimise any possible contamination. We were rewarded with a pleasant easy waterside walk or run and a beautiful sunset over the water.
Thanks to Banger for this shot - surely worthy of publication in a calendar:
On trail (note the 1.5 metre gap):
And who on earth gave this man a camera?
Meanwhile, stranded in Cairns, Shaggy and Cadbury foreshadowed what we'll all be doing for the next few weeks, or even months. They organised their own two-person Hash walk and posted pictures of it.
The rest of us will also be taking part in our own one- to few-person runs and walks on Sundays during this suspension of our normal activities. Please share pictures and notes with us so we can feature them on the blog during this time.
We may experiment with holding some virtual circles for those who wish to share Dad jokes and at-home down, downs...watch this space.
Stay safe - and
On, on!
