100 incidents for first time in year

Worth recording that they passed the 99 recorded in 2017 (although they all avoided Wed night meetings):

Out of those there have been 3 underground evacuations, plus 1 showcave & 2 surface rescues of cavers. The Craven also managed to release one hung up during winch meet before team members arrived & there were 4 or 5 overdue that were resolved before team deployed (out of 15 additional alerts).
 
As Mikem says, the first time the team has recorded over 100 incidents - final tally was 102, although that would have been a 103 if we hadn't rolled two incidents during the 3 Peaks Fell race into one! So sad to start 2020 with a cave diving fatality.
