Ramblers newsletter15 06/07/20 I hope you are all well. The following information has been extracted from the Ramblers website: Coronavirus - the latest Ramblers advice (3rd July 2020) Remember whilst the easing of lockdown measures allows more freedom for walkers, the advice remains to limit your contact with others. Group size must be limited to a maximum of 6 people in total. This means the walk leader, plus 5 walkers. You should maintain a distance of 2m between people from different households, or 1m plus mitigations (such as face coverings or avoiding face-to-face contact) where 2m is not possible. Ref: https://www.ramblers.org.uk/volunteer-zone/coronavirus.aspx Re-starting walks The club committee has considered a variety of options and the overall consensus is to wait and see for the time being and not rush into organising club walks. Whilst restrictions are easing, it’s clear that COVID-19 has not gone away. Our priority remains to protect the health and wellbeing of club members. However, this does not preclude walk leaders from walking out new routes. The criteria shown opposite, from the Ramblers Quick Guide to Restarting activities, provides a useful list of considerations. This week’s newsletter includes a multiple choice quiz on mountains.
