Monthly
Team Practices
The Team practise sessions are held on the first Sunday of
every month. During this session the Team covers essential
areas of Mountain Rescue such as, navigation, stretcher work,
communications, steep ground work, technical ropework and
search management only to name a few.
The practise sessions start at about 9.30am on the Sunday
and tend to finish sometime in the early afternoon, depending
on what we are covering in terms of an exercise.
We generally head out on to the hills for our practise sessions
and try to make them as 'Real Life' as possible. Much of our
time is dedicated to training for any eventuality. The most
important attribute of any Team member is that he or she must
be a competent mountaineer. Callouts can be in any terrain,
any weather, day or night and can mean long periods on the
hill and all people who join the team soon realise the amount
of commitment which is required to be a member of a Mountain
Rescue Team. |
