Working today and Thursday for The Low Port Centre on a course for SSPCA staff. The course has been running all week and looks at familiarizing the team with climbing/abseiling equipment and techniques as they might be used in their work with animals. It takes them from the basics through to abseil and hoist based rescues with the emphasis on personal safety.
Today we were looking at hoist systems and scenarios. In the afternoon we were outside using a local venue for the practical elements. A really interesting course with an enthusiastic and motivated group.
A cool day with a westerly breeze and snow visible on Ben Ledi.
