Several of us from DUSA/WSG went up to Yorkshire over the weekend for the CNCC SRT rescue workshop. Just wanted to say thanks to Ian and Aidy of CPC/CNCC for putting it on. We had a cracking time hauling, picking off, and cutting ropes!

Would thoroughly recommend these workshops to anyone as they can be tailored to what you want to work on.

Here is an amusing little video from the weekend:

Brilliant.  I used to do that on rope access courses and get the candidates to guess how many strands needed to remain to support the load (person). It really gives confidence in the strength of ropes - especially to novices.  I'd recommend folk try this at uni SRT training if they don't already.  Perhaps use a dummy instead of a person and obviously point out other dangers to the rope like abrasion, etc.

Thanks Jack for the positive feedback.

You were all great participants and exhibited some fantastic determination in making sure you succeeded at the tasks no matter how ?difficult? we made them !!

Nice video  :thumbsup but do I really sound like that 

Cheers
Ian

Thanks Ian and the CNCC it was a great weekend!
Despite our 6 hour drive, it was well worth it!
