Just a brief note to say the Committee has adopted a common position to keep this thread up to date after yesterdays announcements.
All activities remain subject to 2 metre social distancing of course. This implies travelling in separate cars. It also remains most desirable to respect the apprehensions of local residents in the areas we visit.
The increase in meetings to six people means that small walking groups can be within these rules. The Committee think that not travelling too far is wise, and taking twice the ususal number. of cars to the Lake District would be inappropriate.
The position on climbing has not changed. Sadly, the Committee think that a resumption of climbing would be premature. The simple reason is a feeling that to engage in repeated proximity and continual hand to hand exchange of equipment, which would be frowned upon in a park or garden, seems like “doing a Dominic” by any double standards. Whilst the “r” number remains high, we are all urged to follow the guidance carefully to minimise the risk of any more of them pesky Covids getting out of the box.
