I have spent the day at the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team base today helping to provide a day of infotainment to a group of 22 doctors studying a high altitude diploma. The diploma provides doctors with the mountain knowledge they need to work on remote high altitude expeditions. Our brief for the day was to show them how Mountain Rescue operates in the UK. We started off with a Search Dog presentation and demonstration, followed by a presentation on how the Llanberis team operates. We then showed them our First Aid facilities, equipment and vehicles and then rounded the day off with a crag rescue to demonstrate stretcher use, rigging etc. A fine meal in the Vaynol brought a great day to a fitting end. A great group of people and I wish them all every success in their diploma, and more importantly their mountaineering!
