YES

If you get caught (i.e. grassed on by nosey neighbour) then yes you and WG could be fined £200 each for first offence.
You are not supposed to meet anyone indoors that is not part of your household (or social bubble) unless for essential work reasons.
If you are travelling a distance away from home to a punt, and you get stopped then make sure you have a valid excuse. Being miles away from home (local shops) and saying you’ve popped out for a pint of milk will probably result in a £200 bowl of cornflakes.

I agree the police can take action if they find you in large groups, but they simply do not have the capacity to challenge someone in their car or walking the street. I nipped out today and the roads are full of cars - people zooming about everywhere for their own reasons. If your personal choice is to punt, not a chance plod have the resource for it

Former Mrs Moose is Police and she has way better things to do than chase punters trying to get laid

Police or Traffic officers sometimes seemed to follow cars on the motorway last year , as if they could pull on the basis of registered address on ANPR . I Had that twice on the M5 near Clevedon and Bristol with a Tiverton address , though I have done the journey 40 times + this year " in order to deliver care ".... Other people I know drove from Cardiff to London / Edinburgh after New Year (- Not advisable unless you have a reasonable excuse ....)

In April , police were indeed questioning the odd car in M5 Sedgmoor ( W S-M ) but evidently only for a couple of hours , and during the Easter heatwave .... so now I avoid the services , carry paperwork and purport to have a reason ... eg deliver or receive care to relative .... Advice on crossing the Welsh border would be useful ... though by kayak my regular in Cardiff Bay is only 15k from here !

I got stopped by the police two days ago. I was back up in the Midlands and a long way from home. When I came off a dual carriageway, an unmarked police car followed me down the slip road, lit up all the lights and pulled me over. My first thought was to check my speed but it turned out that they knew I was a long way from home and had pulled me over to ask what I was doing?
I had a legitimate reason and I'd made sure I was carrying the paperwork to prove it so I didn't have any problems. Maybe it was just a quiet time and they were checking number plates because they didn't have anything else to do. But... I got the feeling that they were out specifically looking for people breaking lockdown.

Newtothisstuff · « **Reply #15 on:** January 15, 2021, 02:52:00 am »

It could also have been that they were specifically looking for a car of the type I was driving.
It didn't seem like it though. It felt like I'd been stopped for a possible breach of lockdown.

hairymonster · « **Reply #16 on:** January 15, 2021, 06:39:45 am »

Something that has become a trend at the moment. Police are not adverse to tweeting odd and news worthy stops. If you read, not a day goes by that some coppers havent tweeted that they stopped a car with a canoe on the top going to Wales claiming its exercise etc etc. Dont be surprised if you make the news being caught with a prossie.
£200 fine would be cheap by comparison.

For me the risk would be too high - I suspect a few neighbours will be reporting WGs and the police would delight in making an example of someone visiting a WG.

Also a risk travelling there, but that is probably quite small depending on circumstances.

However before thinking of any of that it is not the right thing to do at the moment given how serious the situation is and the sacrifices that so many people are making to try and reduce the current level of infections. Despite the fact that I have had it and therefore may be protected I am following the rules.

Nick69nick69nick69 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 15, 2021, 12:46:32 pm »

True that the police (and the media) would have a field day if they got hold of a punter pursuing his hobby. They want examples that will get attention.
Does anyone think the 2 ladies who were fined £200 for driving 5 miles separately to a reservoir for a walk, with their coffees, would have got such police or media attention if they hadn't been a couple of fit milfs?
And agreed, punting is just not right at the moment, we all should hunker down and protect/respect the NHS imho.

There is a government web portal where members of the public can report people breaking lockdown. I had a look at it and it seems pretty basic - enter postcode, select house number and choose from a short list of issue types. You then get asked whether the issue is hapening currently or in the past. If you choose "in the past" you just get a message saying that only live incidents are followed up.

I can believe that neighbours will be reporting working girls but, unless you are unlucky, you would be unlikely to be caught if a neighbour reported you on arrival and you stayed for an hour or less. If the girl is operating a conveyor belt service the previous punter could trigger the report and you could cop the grief.

I am certain it will be misused.
Do you have to provide your details or can you report anonymously?

Correct
What if the neighbours reported the previous punter, or the previous previous punter, and by the time they turn up, YOU are with her??

Rather have a £200 fine. Being in the papers is pretty brutal esp with social media you may well become famous. Imagine some nosy neighbor take pictures of random men entering and leaving a property and posting it. Would go viral on platforms and could get easiy recognized. Life changing if friends or family then recognize you!

GoldTop · « **Reply #24 on:** January 16, 2021, 09:27:52 am »

Agree with CT and Coconut as certainly the awareness and media frenzy is much much higher due to lockdown.

However, if one is worried about being spotted, photographed or put on social media by a neighbour, then this risk exists already without the pandemic/lockdown. If someone lives next to a WG and is of a nosey / suspicious nature, they could quite easily take photos of a punter, tweet it, report it or claim it to be a brothel. A nosey neighbour will always be nosey. Punting has many risks and only some can be mitigated personally.

Just wear a cap, sunglasses and a mask.
Go one step further: drive a van and carry a cardboard parcel/box.
Every one will think you are making a delivery, and wouldn’t raise any suspicion.
That’s what I would do, but for the record Moby is staying at home (for now).

Only if they can explain why they were with the lady in the first place !

However you can hardly say you have nipped out for a pint of milk or a McD when you are 50miles away.

i hope they stop and fine both the prossie and the punter.

The numberof coronovirus cases are going up day by day.
An covid carrying individual can pass it on so easily. surely we can wait a good few weeks for a punt legally

If they can then explain to the other half why you seem to be £40 for a punt and £200 for a fine lighter.

If they can justify that they are moving accommodation during the lockdown, I suspect this is a legit reason.They could show the booking reference for where they are next going to.

If you have no qualms about punting relatively local to home then take your bag for life along with you, then if you do get stopped on the way you can tell them you’re going for your shopping. I used to use street girls (not anymore) and always had a plan in case I ever got stopped, such as needing petrol on the way through or going for a kebab (it’s always worth knowing the local area so it’s plausible).
I know we shouldn’t be going out at this point in time, but you can’t always deny the little fella his exercise 😉. But having a little back up in case you got stopped is always a good idea and a bit of knowledge of the local area helps the excuse, even after the lockdown
