Has your permission just gone Tier 4 ?

[Dave The Slave]

Hampshire bar the New Forest has just gone Tier 4. that`s my permission out until the next review.
Luckily still have the beach 10 mins away in Bournemouth.
No doubt some of you will be in the same boat.
Let`s look at it as being in a Lifeboat because these measures may just keep people alive.
Good Luck everyone and stay safe,
Dave.

Here are the Tier 1-3 guidance from the NCMD Full info here

England – from 2 December 2020

General guidance – You can detect alone or with members of your household and support bubble in all tiers (T1, T2 and T3) and on all types of land where you have permission. For detecting with others we are now back to the Rule of Six. This applies both indoors and outdoors in T1, outdoors only in T2, and in T3 only in ‘outdoor public spaces’. There are presently no limits on the time that can be spent on outdoor recreation.


Club digs – Club digs can restart in T1 and T2 following the ‘Rule of 6’ as long as appropriate risk assessments are in place and followed. Participants and organisers still need to ensure social distancing is maintained at all times to minimise the risk of infection.

In T3 only digs in ‘public outdoor spaces’, such as beaches and parks (with permission), are allowed.

To comply with the travel guidance in the Government’s Winter Plan, organisers will need to ensure any planned digs which could result in participants seeking to enter or leave T3 areas do not take place. Car sharing is not permitted in all tiers. Businesses organising events have their own rules and should not take place in T3.



Travel – The Government is advising against all unnecessary travel into and out of T3 areas. In T1 and T2 long journeys should be avoided.

Standing In your back garden or on the beach way things are going

So are the current NCMD rules that detecting is out for tier 3 and 4 areas?? Just so I know where I stand.

In tier 3 you can detect on any land you have permission on if you are on your own. If detecting with others you can only do it on land defined as ‘public’. That means beaches, parks, etc. obviously with permission.

In tier 4 you can only detect on public land.

[Oxgirl]

You couldn't detect on private land in tier 3

Yes you could if detecting solo

[Easylife]

In tier 4 you can only detect on public land.

Not true!
NCMD state in tier 4 "There is no detecting allowed on private land, unless it is part of the place you are living(i.e. your garden)."
