In case of emergency, dial 999 or 112, then ask for ‘Police’ then ‘Mountain Rescue’.

As the major of the team is undertaking radio exercise at Cadover Bridge on the other side of the valley a small group is having a rope session at Shaugh Prior devised by Alex and Dennis.

It is al little bit differed now with COVID so to work closely together as we need to do when working on the ropes the members where all wearing a face-mask.

The members started off on flat ground going to all the motions so everyone could see everything before we stepped it up to the steep ground.

After we found a willing casualty (a 100-meter rope bag) we started to set up the site for the rescue of the casualty.

All anchor points were set up so we can safely lower personal and the stretcher, after the safety officer approved the setup the team spring into work.

After members and the stretcher where lowered down safe and casualty loaded the members onto of the cas site get in action to get stretcher party safely on top again.

Thank you to Alex and Dennis for organising
