Mountain Rescue Training

Its been my turn today to be a casualty on Mountain Rescue training exercises. I was set the scenario of placing myself on the steep scree under Cyfrwy on Cadair Idris with a broken leg. I was looked after well by the team and recovered effectively down the steep scree. It was intresting for myself being on the receiving end experiencing being in a steep area on a stretchier.

The winter conditions on the hill were a lot better than I expected with a lot of the easy gully's still being filled with good neve although with the forecast set to warm up I would expect this to disappear fairly soon.
