ResCon is the British Cave Rescue conference, which is a bi-annual gathering of British cave rescue volunteers (and others with a passing interest in caving and cave rescue techniques and equipment) to be held on the Mendips, over the weekend of the 6th to the 8th September 2019 and hosted by Mendip Cave Rescue. Participants will have the opportunity to attend talks on rescue techniques as well as join in surface or underground practical workshops including specialist techniques such as cave diving (for divers and non-divers), vertical hauling, underground communication technology and gas monitoring. We are planning on holding some sessions for people who have had little involvement with cave rescue, but are interested in finding out how cave rescues are organised. Saturday night will include a bar, hog roast (and veggie alternative) and music, along with this years "Wessex Challenge", which is a team obstacle course that has become a Mendip caving tradition, this year hosted by the Wessex Caving Club following their victory last year.
