• Re long bike rides. I thought the guidelines were walk for an hour or exercise for half an hour? Isn’t that clear enough without having to interpret what “reasonable walking distance from home” means?

    No, that was just Gove saying something on a radio show. It's not part of any published guidelines and there's nothing in law. There are no guidelines on exercise duration for England, even in the recent Police guidance that was linked to here.

    Wales is different. Dunno about Scotland or NI.

    That comes from some specific Guidelines linked to the Welsh specific law. There's no specific duration(s) in that law but the guidelines are enough for the Police to enforce. If you go out for a 4-5 hour cycle ride (in Wales) then the Police could decide to give you an FPN, that's a specific example that is considered unreasonable. Repeated offences could land you in further trouble.
