...which isn't true. You can travel (drive) to take exercise, but not "outside your local area"*.
(* don't ask me, I didn't draft the stuff).
There are a number of Country Parks within walking distance of me (so that's what I do), but, on clear Government advice, and as published on their websites) they have all left their car parks open (closed in Lockdown 1) for people to drive and take exercise.
Following the Derbyshire Police debacle (one really does suspect someone failed an attitude test), The neighbouring Notts Chief Constable repeatedly refused to be drawn on the outcome there, but confirmed that his force were targeted primarily with encouraging people to be sensible, rather than sailing in with penalties (though, as he pointed out, being in the vanguard of forces levying £10,000 penalties, they weren't averse to pursuing Covidiots).
Frankly, I would prefer it if people didn't drive to take exercise, as many are (observed) still using it as an excuse to get out and meet up, but, as above, I have the facility to walk from the door to/into pleasant country, and thus don't really need to drive.
