LAA Wales and Scotland
I do not know the legal position in Wales but in Scotland, the five miles is not the fixed limit in law.

To quote from the gov.scot website on Phase 1, Getting Around:

'Permitted to travel short distances for outdoor leisure and exercise but advice to stay within a short distance of your local community (broadly within 5 miles) and travel by walk, wheel and cycle where possible.'

I have interpreted that as allowing me to travel a bit further to the airfield (by car) to fly (solo) locally but I have decided not to land out in the meantime. And of course, social distancing rules are maintained outdoors at the airfield.
