It is not walking alone in Miners Marsh that is the problem David. If
the restrictions were lifted there would be hordes of people looking for
places like that to walk, making them problematical in keeping numbers
from being in close proximity. The walks there are also narrow. Why
should a few take advantage of there being few people there when the
rest of us feel we cannot?

<p> And by the way; at 85 I would not welcome getting Covid-19
