Snow in Snowdonia!


Now safely back off the mountains of Snowdonia the deep snow and icy conditions seem a long way away.

Monday and Tuesday this week were spent updating my Rescue and Emergency Care qualification in outdoor First Aid. The holding of the certificate, which has to be renewed every three years as a minimum, provides reassurance to those employing mountain and walking group leaders such as myself in the outdoors, that we are fully qualified and trained to manage and deal with any situation (medical or otherwise) in the outdoors.

Tomorrow I travel to Coventry to meet the other leaders for the Everest trip this summer. A full day briefing and reviewing the plans for the trip will be a long (Valentines) day for us all. However, planning well in advance of the trip will ensure all clients are well taken care of and their safetey is well managed throughout the trips.
