Covid-19 – Latest Position Statement from Cave Rescue Organisation 13th May 2020 (updated 18th May 2020)

Hello, we hope everyone is safe and well –
BCRC (British Cave Rescue Council) has now issued it’s latest guidance for cavers and mine explorers. The message is in line with the statement issued by CNCC (Council for Northern Caving Clubs).
CRO’s role is not to police the fells, and our messaging so far has been aimed solely at reducing the risk not only to individuals, but importantly to our team members and their families. As such we continue to recommend that people follow the advice of the various representative bodies (CNCC, BCA, BMC etc) and individual clubs as well as that provided by the YDNPA (Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority)
Links to the relevant statements from the BCRC, CNCC, BMC and YDNPA are included below.
