Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton’s Post

On Saturday our current cohort of trainees were put through their paces in a day-night final exercise. 🌓 This was an opportunity for the trainees to demonstrate a wide range of skills and abilities, performing under pressure in challenging circumstances 🤔. Over the course of eight hours the trainees navigated their way around southern Dartmoor’s open moorland ⛰️ and deep river valleys. In addition to navigation, they were also tested on aspects of technical rope rescue 🧗, radio comms 📡, water safety 🛟, medical treatment 🩺 and team work in a rescue scenario 👏🏻. They are a seriously impressive group and we were all thrilled with their hard work and dedication. It’s a long road to gaining a team jacket 🦺 and qualifying, with many steps along the way, but the end is nearly in sight for the class of 2023. #Dartmoor #Devon #MountainRescue #Charity #Searchandrescue

A strong performance from all of the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton trainees this weekend. And a classic thick Dartmoor mist kept them focussed on the tasks in hand! 😶🌫️🫣
