WEEKEND ACTIVITIES
On Saturday, the Search and Rescue members were involved in the second weekend practice of the year. The morning was mainly classroom based doing search planning. On completion of the planning process, the team moved to Roseberry Topping area to execute the plan to search for the “missing” person. While undertaking the search a number of tasks were executed which were related to search and rescue activities.
On completion of the relevant tasks the missing person was conveniently found by the police , then immediately the team were informed of a fell runner incident at Little Roseberry. The runner was located, treated by a team medic, packaged in a vacuum mattress on the stretcher and lowered down steep ground using a back up rope onto a track. From the track the stretcher was wheeled to the Land Rover about 400m away. The casualty veery quickly recovered from his injuries at the Rover.
