Yorkshire Dales videos with a difference
Two of the mountain rescue teams from the Yorkshire Dales have got together with Mosaic Outdoors to produce a set of short, simple videos, providing key safety tips for people visiting the Dales. As well as showcasing some iconic Dales' scenery, the messages include:
- what to think about before setting out,
- what to take with you and
- how to call for help in an emergency.
These tips apply to everyone going out and about in the Dales, whether on foot, bike or other means.
Both rescue teams – the Cave Rescue Organisation (CRO) and the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association (UWFRA) – undertake mountain, cave and water rescue.
CRO’s patch extends from Malhamdale westwards across the Three Peaks into northern Lancashire and SE Cumbria. www.cro.org.uk/safety
UWFRA’s area covers mid-Airedale, Wharfedale, Nidderdale and across to the A1, beyond Knaresborough. www.uwfra.org.uk
Mosaic Outdoors is a volunteer-run charity connecting people from ethnic minority communities with the outdoors. www.mosaic-outdoors.org
Production of the videos has been enabled by a grant from the North Yorkshire Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner’s Community Fund. We also thank the volunteers who presented on the videos.
