Simples.

Sheffield, along with the rest of South Yorkshire, will move into the Very High Tier 3 alert category from 00:01am on Saturday 24 October. With this, there will be new restrictions which may affect your activity in Sheffield’s great outdoors. Gov info>> https://www.gov.uk/guidance/local-covid-alert-levels-what-you-need-to-know

Meanwhile, our neighbours in Derbyshire remain in Tier 2, so be aware there are restrictions for movement between these different tiers.

We recognise this is tricky with a large part of our beloved right on the South Yorkshire-Derbyshire boundary.

We are awaiting further guidance from government and collaborating with land owners/managers, Peak District National Park and Visit Peak District & Derbyshire, as well as wildlife, conservation and recreation groups to provide further timely updates as we know more.

In the meantime please stay local and don’t visit businesses outside of South Yorkshire (pubs, cafes, shops etc), at a safe distance, leave no trace and look after our beautiful outdoor spaces.👍

Long overdue

Give cyclists full access to the public footpath network across the countryside. Obviously there will need a requirement to give walkers plenty of warning, via bells, of proximity. Walkers will ultimately have right of priority, however, mutual respect will be required!

We have been dismayed over recent days at the number of people out and about within the Peak District . Groups of people walking , riding, running who have clearly travelled some distance to be here and are effectively “carrying on as normal”. The number of households containing 4 people with bikes has surprised us given the number of cars seen with people and bikes in.

People should exercise safely and locally and not carry on with their adventures as normal. On various activity forums comments have been made of “we always go out there”, “we are always careful”, “ I have never had an accident”.

Most, if not all people who Mountain Rescue Teams assist are always careful and 99.9% have never been rescued before. Yet Peak District teams still get called out over 300 times a year.

If you have an accident in the current Covid 19 outbreak, please remember this;

Your rescue can not be guaranteed and if it is, it may not be as quick a response as normal

Assuming you do get a response, you will be putting at least 12 team members at potential risk from Covid 19

You will be putting at least 12 team members families at risk from Covid 19

You will be putting the ambulance service staff at additional risk from Covid 19

You will be taking up an ambulance resource that will be required elsewhere

When you eventually get treated at hospital which may take some time due to the current crisis you will be taking up resource and you will be putting NHS staff at additional risk.

If it is a serious accident you may not get to see your loved ones for some time as you may end up isolated.

The Peak District countryside and hills will still be here when this crisis passes. The grass may even be little greener and the tracks and trails a little narrower and less muddy

Please
