Title: basic rescue practice
Post by: Tiny Tim on September 14, 2010, 23:43:25

Hi guys,
In advance of the arrival of our new freshers we thought it might be an idea to take a quick look at basic rescue for grade 2 water. Basically the bread and butter rescue skills used on club trips on the liffey ect. aimed at 2nd/3rd years.
so we'll have a rescue focused river trip on the liffey this saturday from sluice to wrens.

however this is being run as a private trip so there won't be a bus going, we'll meet up at the boathouse on Saturday morning at 10am.
sign up here if you're interested.
Dave.

I'd be interested dave but I will be driving from home, might bring along my friend sean as well. You are asking me to get up and start driving at 8:30, I can either meet you in sluice or meet you at the boathouse later.

what is the earliest that the rescue training would be finished?

Problem with that would be it is a river trip, so while it could run all day long it isn't static so I would wait at wrens If i was you then at least you could catch the group. You ring i'msure some of us will have phones.

Diving in Cork but I do have two major events under my rescue belt, so hopefully that'll make up for it!!!

Hey, just got home, turns out being outdoors and all that weather we got may have made me sick. I wore 4 layers 2 coats and a hoodie today and I was frozen. F R O Z E N. I don't think kayaking would improve things, but if there's a lift emergency give me a call...E M E R G E N C Y
