Longer days and birdsong tempt us to the mountains, hills and coast. Before you walk, paddle or ride into spring, #BeAdventureSmart and:
- assess your fitness and brush up your skills
- spring weather can be fickle - be weather wise
- think about your gear.
Today the team welcomed Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman NWP for a visit, to help her in getting to know the capabilities of the search teams in the North Wales Police area. After demonstrating the skills and equipment and computer systems, we had a fruitful chat over a panad.
@newsar recognised by @NWPolice for services on a missing person search in Nov 22.
All the NWMRA teams can and do assist the Police with searches across North Wales.
@NWPolice Temporary Superintendent Owain Llewellyn recently visited our base to present a commendation to the team - thank you!

What would Mountain Rescue do?
Carry your walking poles – don’t leave them behind. As well as security on uneven ground, they’re a huge help on stream crossings. This time of year can be the best of British walking. #BeAdventureSmart and make your good day even better.
Llanberis MRT is again the busiest team in the UK, but it doesn't matter if teams are doing 200 calls or 2, they all train for their tasks and are ready to go 24x7 to serve the people of North Wales and our many visitors.
Thank you to all the volunteers for their hard work.

@OVMRO Chair Chris Lloyd and @UK_NWMRA Chair Tim Radford, hosted @NWP_CCBlakeman on a visit to Ogwen Base. There was also discussion on the wider @UK_NWMRA region and the work of all the teams with @NWPolice and other services. We all look forward to working with the new CC.
CALLOUT: Earlier today two NEWSAR Team members assisted @NorthWalesFire and @NWPolice to extract two persons from a car in water in Llandrillo. The remainder of the team was stood down while responding, as there were sufficient resources on scene to complete the rescue.
Sunday 30 October is Mountain Rescue Awareness Day as well as being the first full day after the UK clocks go back.
