For many years the Dachstein Expedition has laid on a training event for expeditioners of all abilities. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether or not they're going to Austria. That means that if your group is caving abroad then it may be worth sending them to us for the weekend. We don't bite. Much.
Date: Bank Holiday weekend of May 3rd.
Venue: Welsh International Climbing Centre, Bargoed, near Cardiff.
Basic Plan: Arrive Fri night (sleeping at wall, bar on site etc).
Sat: "Round-Robin" style covering SRT (from basic upwards to pitch-head & mid rope rescues etc); ladder & lifeline (dwindling skills amongst cavers); surveying (in artificial cave); first aid.
Later in day there'll be a workshop on expedition-style rescue procedures; emergencies; etc....
Sun: Cave Rescue Practice in OFD2.
Trainers: lot of experience out there & we make the most of it (have at least three IRATA Level 3's helping for free & that's rare!). Anyone wanting to assist should let me know.
Cost: I blag a good deal from the managers of the Wall: probably less than ?15 each all-in, including basic meals. For more information look at the Facebook Group "Cave Expedition Skills Workshop www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11189777582.
Anyone interested then please mail me, join the Group, or use this forum.
Cheers.
