Combined bucket for all types of outdoor interests where social distance rule can be applied by nature of the exercise / activity - the restrictions should be lifted to allow the activity.

Example activities (not exclusive) - Recreational fishing- all types, watersports, hill walking, dog walking, etc etc - the list is not important - so long as social distance can be applied it is permitted (e.g not football, no indoor gyms, not wrestling!)

Why the contribution is important

The current rule is giving rise to frustrations where currently permitted exercise such as cycling is deemed ok whereas other interests are not - which are neither unsafe but not permitted - the simplification of the exercise rule to take account of the key mitigation - Social Distance is the main factor. If current conditions remain unchanged people will ultimately give up on the rule. Scot Gove should focus on social distance rather than allowing specific activites.

Exercise and individual peoples activities and interests are key to health (all health) and also key to maintaining the overall rule abiding to continue - stop them for any longer and the rule abiding will lapse
