Think about everybody’s safety this weekend . Take a read of the latest status update from the cave rescue organisation .... Stay safe 👍🏻

With the Easter weekend coming up, Mountain Rescue England and Wales have issued the attached statement which reiterates the government guidelines to please stay in your local area and not to travel to National Parks and other typical Bank Holiday venues.

Please do stay at home and take your exercise locally. We’ll be really glad to see you all back in our wonderful part of the Dales once this is all over.

A big thank you from cave rescue ....

Folks, on behalf of the CRO Duty Controllers, and the rest of the team, we would just like to extend a huge thank you to you all. It’s been 15 days since we were called out on an animal rescue and 19 days since our last callout to assist a person in need or our help. It’s obviously a very difficult time for many of you, keeping away from the hills and caves within our region must be a real wrench. But, listening and abiding to the advice of the government and the organisations such as MREW, BCA, FRA etc we are all doing our bit to flatten the curve.

From a team perspective, a shout during the current Covid-19 situation would be very difficult, we have had to put some very stringent measures in place to protect our personnel which would make any callout very time consuming and a lot more extra effort. We are a thinner on the ground due to members self-isolating, and to be frank we have all got to consider our families and our own wellbeing too when considering if we should be responding to someone who has got themselves into difficult situation during the current restrictions.

So, once again, thank you. Please continue to listen to the advice to stay local and exercise within your capabilities - no personal bests for the near future please! The hills and caves will still be here once we are all through this, and the grass will definitely be a little greener.

Stay safe, and have a great day.
