In fairness if you driving to places it's not as bad (still not great) it's those who are using buses to do so putting others and drivers at risk that annoy me especially though videoing buses which there has been enough of since the start of the pandemic which there's no excuse.

However, the catchily named Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (All Tiers) Regulations 2020 don't define "local" nor "exercise". As long as he is "exercising" and/or "food shopping" in England then there isn't a problem by law.*

I'm not exactly impressed that people are still going out to take photos, perhaps it's morally wrong, but there's certainly nothing wrong legally - as long as he's doing what's allowed in the regulations too.

*GOV.UK shows heavily worded (optional) guidance mixed with law. If you're wanting to check the actual law, visit legislation.gov.uk.

From the spots he's taking those photos and him attempting to use the excuse of 'food shopping' then he's definitely breaking the law 100% as there's no where to shop at the spot he's at in Felling nor is there a reason to drive along there from Prudhoe to get to a shop and there's not really anything at Concord, not to the sense you can blag you came from Prudhoe to get to but that's a different subject and isn't for me to judge.
