CALLOUT! - Wednesday 14th September, Oxlow.
Wednesday night DCRO controllers & leaders met for a planned training session. Once completed we all headed home, to bed....... or so we thought!
Just then the phones beeped, and it was a callout to Oxlow Mine.

A lovely evening for a race up a hill. Last night saw local runners attempt the DCRO Dash, a figure of eight route around some of the major caving features of the local area.

A number of our team members were proud recipients of the Queen's #PlatinumJubilee Medal. They were presented to us along with colleagues from @Buxton_MRT by the Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire, Mrs Elizabeth Fothergill CBE & Vice Lord-Lieutenant Colonel John Samuel Wilson OBE DL.

Over 20 of our team members gave up half of their Saturday to help with our PPE inspections this weekend. We regularly check every bit of kit on our vehicles and at our base to make sure it is in tip-top condition whenever we have need to use it.

The stores team have been making use of time between Xmas & New Year to replace some of our worn out rope bags. We're colour coding & introducing new markings to ensure easy ID, even when plastered in Derbyshire cave mud!
We think the colour scheme is appropriately Christmassy🎅

Sorry we're late posting this! 17 of our members have been involved with this rescue over the weekend, including the Twitter elves.
It was a privilege to work alongside everyone and we wish the casualty a speedy recovery.
