Winter Skill Training for Patterdale MRT

This course was provided by Mike Margeson of Mountain Recreation and myself and was designed for Mountain Rescue Team by Mike and the team leader.

Day 1 - snow & avalanche revision, self arrest practice, snow belays, confidence roping and navigation.

Day 2 - rock belays, pitching, taking coils, short roping, lowers & abseiling steep ground, slope stability inspections, route choice on suspect slopes.

With Mike’s vast experience with mountain rescue we provided a useful and fun course.

Thanks to the team members on the training.

A good laugh was had by all with some great skills revised.

Get in touch if you would like a course designing for you.
