Rope Rescue Seminar

Dave L isn’t the only one who has been travelling… Dave H and Graeme recently attended a Rope Rescue Seminar in Colorado. They assured us all that they worked very hard on the other side of the pond and came back having gathered invaluable knowledge & experience, some new techniques and some nifty ways to tie knots!

They enjoyed being on the other side of the classroom so much that on their way home they stopped off in Wales for another course. Both attended the Rescue 3 Boat Operator course with the view to eventually being able to offer this course as an additional service for AS Training & Consultancy.

Not to be outdone on the travel stakes, Claire is off to the Himalayas for a month, visiting the Sikkim area of India, then Bhutan and finally Nepal. Mainly to paddle rivers in the sunshine, but will be doing some trekking & mountain biking too. Some observant readers may have noticed the difference between this trip and the boys trip to Colorado... Claire is definitely not intending to work hard while away!
