Mountain Rescue Day




These last few days have had a strong mountain rescue theme to them! I have been out all day with the Llanberis Team today on a team training day. We headed to Fach Wen and looked at rigging for stretcher lowers and did some lowers down the crag and some hauling up it. Within minutes of getting home for tea the pager went off and we went to the assistance of two stricken walkers who had come to grief on the snow and ice near the summit of Snowdon. The helicopter was on a exercise in the area so we had a beautiful flight under clear blue skies with some stunning views and two grateful casualties.
