On the 10th February 2016 there will be a training session with the new MCR Cave Link communications equipment, based at Burrington Combe. The 2 underground Cave Link units will be taken to different caves (probably Rods Pot and Goatchurch) and the surface unit will be used to communicate with both of them simultaneously. Meet at the car park by the public toilets at 19:30.
There will be a rescue workshop held at Swildons Hole, Priddy starting at 10:00 on 25th October. All are welcome to come along and hopefully learn what will happen during a cave rescue and practise some new skills.
There will be a demonstration & training session on the new cave link communication system in the Hunters Lodge Inn Priddy on the 23rd October starting at 19:30. All are welcome to come along and find out a little more about how this new technology works and how the MCR will be using it.\r\n
More information about the cave link system is available on the manufacturers website
There will be a training session with the new Larkin Frame at King Mine, Sandford on the 10th September. Meet at the Mendip Snowsports Centre at 19:00 - for directions see Mendip Snowsport website
The Larkin Frame is designed to allow rescue personnel a safe way to lower or lift casualties over a cliff edge or mine shaft. Photographs of the Larkin Frame in action can be found on the Lyon Training website and also on the MCR facebook page.
