| + | We are looking to recruit at least eight keen and fit cavers to lead trips beyond Chamber 20 in Wookey Hole. | ||
| - | Following on from the Prime Ministers statement on Sunday re the easing of restrictions some people have asked about caving. | + | < |
| - | Firstly I will stress that it is not Mendip Cave Rescues job to tell cavers if or where they should go caving. | + | 25th November 2022 |
| + | </ | ||
| - | However, the following should be bourne in mind. | ||
| - | 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. | ||
| - | The only pastimes allowed are golf, tennis and those where social distancing can be maintained. It cannot be maintained in caving. | + | <panel type=" |
| + | [[news:2022.11.14_somerset_underground_3|{{: | ||
| - | 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. | + | 14th November 2022 |
| + | </ | ||
| - | 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 | + | <panel type=" |

| - | Finally caving and British Caving in particular gained enormous praise from the public and great PR following on from the Thailand rescue in 2018. One rescue will put the current positive profile that caving has back for years. | + | < |
