REC 2 Course

Myself, Smithers and Colm did the REC 2 course run by Wicklow Mountain Rescue over the weekend. Really intensive two days with myself and Smithers "gumming for a pint" by the time we finished after 6pm this evening. Covered a huge amount of stuff and hopefully some of it went in! Really well taught by Joe and would certainly recommend it to anybody involved in any adventure sports!
I hope I never have to practice anything that we learnt!

Well done guys... I know where you are coming from. Hopefully we never need it, but it's nice to have.....

well done lads..
and the only people to lead spins are REC qualified !!

Good stuff lads. Having done one too I would suggest running through the ABC's some time on a spin just to keep it fresh, even set up a dummy scenerio. It's easy to forget some of the stuff is there is a lot to take in.

For those who don't know you need to remember a simple ABC response when you come across an accident

A - Ah ha ha ha!
B - Bike, it is worth taking?
C - Club member, if not let the wolves have em.

A very good course and well worth doing. The simulated casualties and the accident scene management scenarios were very effective.

I think Richard was very disappointed we didn’t get to use any cling film and sanitary towels.

And don’t get too confident lads; remember Sam passed the course too!

Defo worth doing, but it's hard work sitting there all day when the sun is shinning and the ewoks and camderry are calling. Dummy's are a many Don It's just picking the right one hahahaha!!
