I've seen Mountain Rescue putting out info advising against going out of your local area.

Then this from the BMC.

If anything happens to you, emergency cover might not be able to respond as resources are being diverted.

I'm as likely to turn my ankle a mile from home, as I am in the Howgills. I suppose I can at least get myself home if it happens locally, so will stick to my own patch for the time being on the West Pennines and Billinge Woods above Witton Park.
