( paragraph 2b from memory).

That's incorrect. The exception is if you are on a farm etc actively hunting, AND are with the vehicle.
The regulations say:
(2) Subclause (1) does not apply to a firearms licence holder if—
(a)
the holder is using a vehicle on a farm and undertaking farm-related activities, or is actively engaged in legally authorised hunting or wild animal pest control on farmland, public land, or land used for an agricultural, a horticultural, or a silviculture business on which they are permitted to use firearms; and
(b)
the licence holder is in the vehicle with the firearms or in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle in which the firearms are located.

Tha "and " at the end of 2(a) is the important bit, that means the conditions of both (a) and (b) must be met for the exception to apply. So if you are on a public road etc the requirements do apply, even if you are with the vehicle at all times.
