Wiltshire police are asking people to stay home this weekend as the weather gets warmer and there is a temptation to go out.
Today is expected to be warm and sunny with a high of around 20 degrees C but at the Government's daily briefing on Saturday evening Michael Gove urged people not to be tempted to venture out for more than their allowed daily exercise and for essential errands.
Gazette and Wiltshire Times photographer Trevor Porter spoke to police officers who are making sure that people are abiding by the rules and those who are getting their allowed daily exercise in unusual ways.
Mr Porter said: "Police had to close County Park and Woodlands near Westbury on Saturday to stop people using unnecessary travel to get to these places."
He also spoke to fitness fan Neal Cox at Coate, near Devizes, who was exercising on a skateboard with a pole.
The nearby tow path of the Kennet and Avon Canal was quiet with only a few walkers.
