HELP! FALLEN CLIMBER!This was the call the team got last weekend, but fortunately just in a training scenario as part of our annual first aid training weekend with @basp_skipatrol It was a packed weekend of putting principles into practice with skills stations and scenarios covering all elements of first aid the team might need to use on real world rescues. It's always great to have instructors come from outside the team to build to add fresh perspectives and keep us up to date.All our team members are volunteers and give their weekends to train in the vital skills required to save lives in the Scottish mountains. Our team is almost entirely funded by public donations and training courses like this cost money!

SPLASH! WATER AWARENESS TRAININGThe team took the opportunity of swollen rivers after Storm Amy to do our annual water awareness training on the Balgy River. While we're not currently set up as a full Swiftwater Rescue Team (although watch this space!), there's no shortage of water hazards in our patch to be aware of during a rescue.From throwline techniques to problem solving how to get a team across a raging burn, it's critical to understand what we can and can't do safely as a team around water, and to build the confidence in knowing how to deal with a situation where one of the team might accidentally enter the water during a rescue.And for the avoidance of doubt - if there's an option to avoid entering moving water when you're in the mountains, it's usually best to take it! @scottishmountainrescue#mountainrescue#nc500#swiftwaterrescue ...
