In 2006 myself and team mate Andrew Johnston were asked to attend ICE-SAR in Iceland. During our visit we were treated to some wonderful hospitality from our hosts which included getting to drive SuperJeeps on the glacier like a couple of stunt drivers in a James Bond movie.
We also met folk from mountain rescue teams from all over Northern Europe, Greenland and the United States. During the three day conference Andrew and I learned loads, some of which was put into practice quite quickly. We’d both recommend attending ICE-SAR if you have the chance.
We’ve had a busy time so far this winter so maybe it is time to try and remember the fun side of mountain rescue too? Below is a link to a movie I made of our visit, it was also used to promote ICE-SAR the following year, I hope you enjoy it.
