I thought the stay at home order ended on 29th of March or have they moved it already
?
Just checked the BBC it's then the stay at home order ends and "Formally organised outdoor sports can also restart" so I read that as we can go caving again, provided we plan it as a club meet, to make it formal, not read the rules in detail yet though.
The stay local is only advisory then. It's alright for those of you who who live in the caving areas, who saying you should continue to stay local and not go caving until May, June, 2030, whenever, but you don't get affected, so can quite happily tell other people not to cave, but carry on yourself. But, you know what that is completely unfair on the rest of us who don't have the good fortune to live next to the caves. Please stop with the peer pressure, as how can driving an hour make any bloody difference, for god sake we will be more isolated once we are in the caves then when we are at home most of the time.
Yes I accept one or two may have a crash on the way (hopefully not) but that's like one or two extra beds tops, so it really don't make a difference. So please enough already, as over a quarter of the pop has been vaccinated, it will be at what 35 - 40% by then, so all the people who are really getting ill from it should be protected, so don't tell me caving is going to kill granny, because it's not (she's already dead anyway, years ago).
Our sport will have no effect on the overall numbers whether we go caving or not anyway.
Finally looking at the rules why cannot caving huts begin to open on the April date, though, yes with restrictions, sounds like you can camp in a field though as that counts as self contained? They managed it with similar restrictions last time?
