In my view it's all perfectly claimable so long as you can justify it as entirely for business. That's not difficult to do with a little effort, so long as you don't prattle on about "change of scenery". For example a simple schedule detailing who you will be meeting, when and where, and the time and place of networking events - backup with receipts.
I really don't know why people are so coy. If you honestly think it's legitimate and can sensibly justify it, then claim it. If you claim and are investigated, the worst that will happen (unless you really work hard at making it look like fraud by falsifying receipts for example), will be that it is disallowed with a little extra tax + interest on it. It really isn't a big deal. Most of us are squeaky clean compared to retail small businesses.
