+ | Firstly I will stress that it is not Mendip Cave Rescues job to tell cavers if or where they should go caving. | ||
- | ==== Announcements ==== | + | However, the following should be bourne in mind. |
- | [[news: | + | The PM made it very clear that you can meet one friend outside keeping 2 mts distance. Caves are not outside and the caving code states a minimum of 4 in a group. So unless it is a family living together its difficult. |
- | [[news: | + | The only pastimes allowed are golf, tennis and those where social distancing can be maintained. It cannot be maintained in caving. |
- | [[news: | + | MCR have made certain preparations if we are called out but the practicalities of wearing PPE in a cave would make any rescue prolonged. In addition we have protocols issued by BCRC where all equipment needs to be treated with disinfectant. |
- | === Top Tip === | + | Of course we would not hesitate to attend a call out but it could take longer than normal with some cavers self-isolating. Not only would rescuers be putting themselves at risk of contracting the virus from a casualty but the casualty would also be at risk from the rescuers. |
+ | The goodwill we have with landowners on Mendip could well be put in jeopardy if cavers start arriving. The club huts are all still closed as are most caves. The two longest caves, St. Cuthberts and Swildons Hole are closed to cavers until the lockdown is lifted. | ||
