I have recently applied to be a trainee dog handler with SARDA Wales. The Search And Rescue Dog Association (Wales) is a voluntary organisation responsible for the training of Rescue Team Members and civilians to become Handlers of air scenting Search Dogs, enabling them to search for missing persons, in the Mountains, lowland, rural and urban areas of Wales. I spent the day today with the team training at the foot of Snowdon and had a great day out. The work that goes into these dogs is incredible and I met a lot of very welcoming and enthusiastic handlers, dogs and bodies!
Whilst I was out with the dogs a friend of mine, Baggy, took over the intro to climbing weekend. Unfortunately Ian had to leave early so Baggy took Simon to Tremadog and gave him an intro to multi pitch climbing getting loads of routes done in some nice afternoon sunshine.
