17-18 November 2018 was a first aid training weekend, held at the base. Discussion sessions were combined with mock scenarios in the outdoors. A curry night on the Saturday broke up the weekend and we also watched Steve Penny’s Resilience video as part of a wellbeing session (click here to watch it).
After some dry runs near the base, we rigged up a Tyrolean system at Coire Mhic Nobaill and practised raising and lowering a stretcher above the gorge. A quick tour of the new base, which is almost finished, completed a full day for the team.
R951 visited for helicopter familiarisation and training today. Afterwards, we got stuck into some rigging training just down the road from the base.
