- | CSS Hostel Warden\\ | + | //For the vast majority of us, who either prefer to cave with a group of friends, or would need to travel away from our immediate local area to go caving, this means venturing underground is sadly off the cards for the duration of this lockdown. Instead, we advise that the next several weeks provide a much better opportunity to repair oversuits, clean equipment and plan your summer adventures instead.// |
- | 30 Oct 2020 | + | |
+ | //For the small number of people who live on the doorstep of our caves and are intent on visiting them as part of your exercise, we urge you to respect the restrictions on who you can exercise with, and to ensure your exercise regime is low risk and well within your capabilities.// | ||

+ | //We can't wait to bring you better news over the coming months and to see a return to caving in our region very soon."// | ||

+ | As before it is up to the individual to decide whether or not it is possible for them to cave, but in addition to the following CNCC advice please be aware of the potential impression you may be making on landowners and local residents. We rely upon their goodwill for continued access and it would be terrible if the actions of a few result in reduced access once national restrictions start to be lifted. | ||

+ | Dear Southern Cavers, | ||
+ | |||
+ | As most all of you will be aware, the government announced on Saturday that new lockdown measures will be introduced from Thursday 5th November in an attempt to control the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. The details of these measures can be found at [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | One of the issues as regards caving is that you can only leave home for specific purposes, one of which being; | ||
+ | |||
+ | **"to exercise outdoors or visit an outdoor public place - with the people you live with, with your support bubble or, when on your own, with 1 person from another" | ||
+ | |||
+ | If caving is considered to provide a form of " | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **“You should avoid travelling in or out of your local area, and you should look to reduce the number of journeys you make.”** | ||
+ | * **“you can and should still travel for a number of reasons, including … exercise, if you need to make a short journey to do so.”** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Further points to consider are that some landowners may not feel comfortable in allowing cavers onto their land during lockdown. In these cases please be understanding and respect their wishes. The Council of Southern Caving Clubs (CSCC) will try to maintain a list of lockdown access arrangements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | A rescue during the lockdown would be a major issue for Mendip Cave Rescue (MCR). Whilst they will remain ready to come to the aid of anyone in need underground, | ||
+ | |||
+ | We cannot advise you whether your trip, if you intend to cave, falls within government guidelines or not, but if you do decide to cave please think carefully about the potential consequences of your trip and ensure that you are complying with the latest government advice. The situation is evolving quickly and CSCC will continue to do our best to keep you informed of how the situation is affecting caving in the south via the [[https:// | ||
