I'd like to take this opportunity to let people know that the Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team may be undertaking a training exercise in Gisburn Forest on Saturday 21st November.
The aims of the exercise are to simulate a number of possible scenarios involving mountain bikers that have got into difficulty in the forest. This may cover searching, administering first aid to the casualty and evacuating them to safety.
The exercise is being designed to minimise any impact on mountain bikers using the forest trails on the day, with access to all the newly developed sections being kept open for use.
Please bear in mind that there may be mountain rescue vehicles or team members on vehicle tracks throughout the forest.
Many thanks

Have fun with the exercise. I'd like to think all mountain bikers will keep out of your way. The work you guys do is vital to our sport. Thank you.It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
