Calder Valley Search and Rescue team makes ‘plan ahead’ plea
A spokesperson for CVSRT said: “Now is not the time to be venturing into the more remote parts of our countryside and potentially putting yourself in harm’s way.
“Before you set out on your next daily exercise please ask yourself do I have the knowledge and skills to accomplish the day, do I have the right gear and spare kit if the weather changes or night falls, do I know what the weather will be like?
