Myself, Sean, DaveS from MAD and 4 hill walkers/climbers did the REC 2 course over the weekend.
8:30 to 6 each day, covering an immense amount of material from assessing casualties to dressing wounds, splinting fractures, spinal injuries, heart attacks, head injuries and much more.
There was a good balance of lectures, practical outdoor work and tea and biscuits. The people from the DWMRT were great. Very, very dedicated and all voluntary, so hats off to them!
They'll be running another one of these sometime in November, so go and do it and hope you never have to use what you learn.
Its also a very good fundraiser for them, so you are also helping out in that regard.
