Shuffle Cancelled

SHUFFLE CANCELLED! Following a full inspection this morning, Saturday's race is off. There is black ice on the tarmac roads and 5 foot snowdrifts block the ascent. Ice makes the stiles treacherous and ploughed fields mean parts of the descent are not runnable. The path section next to the busy A629 is blocked. If this isn't enough, the Pavilion approach road is uncleared, meaning parking here and in much of the village would be impossible. We apologise for all this but will make every effort to reschedule it and announce something next week. Watch this space!

They are having a very busy time at the moment.

Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team

• March 23rd 09:47 We got a call at 09.47 from Yorkshire Ambulance Service requesting assistance with an elderly couple in Dunford Bridge, a YAS crew was en route. Since WM1 was mobile we deployed and followed a JCB into Dunford Bridge – without which we would not have got there – assisted the YAS crew and then returned to Carlecotes crossroads for a handover to a land Ambulance. Whilst there several cars were stuck, these were dug out and a family given a lift up to Crow edge where they needed to collect family members.
  After dealing with the Carlecotes cars we returned to Penistone, called in at the police station to see what else was required but, there were no further problems at that time.  A quick check of the nursing home, sheltered accommodation and other vulnerable areas revealed all was well. We contacted SYP and YAS to advise we were available, neither had any incidents, so we stood down.
