Lots of family groups wandering down country lanes, taking up the whole carriageway and being slow to get out of the way.
Lots of horse riders going slowly down those same lanes.
I can't remember Boris saying that walking in the middle of the road is now allowed or that horse riding counts as exercise for humans.
I came across similar families today across the road it’s good to see them and if they don’t know I was approaching from behind I politely alerted them. There is no law saying you can’t walk in the middle of the road as far as I am aware. I thought it was a public highway.
Horse riding surely counts as animal welfare exercise is essential for their wellbeing as well as ours.
