Due to the range of experience it was
decided to have a number of weekends where the team could get to know
each other and also bring in a few professionals to brush up on some
basics.
March 13th: Saw all 10 (
English contingent)
of us meeting at the hut. Climbing in pairs we all did a route on
Milestone
Buttress in poor conditions (hail stones), half the group
continued over Tryfan for some further exercise. In the evening we went through a list of things
to do, while Slough MC had their annual dinner. We dined well on the leftovers.
May 15th: Rescue Techniques on Big Walls at the hut with Dave Kenyon (or methods of pulling apart Duncan's van!).
May 22nd - 23rd: Climbing in Borrowdale.
June 5th - 6th: Wilderness First Aid Course run by
Adventure Lifesigns.
