Looking forward to getting out on the hills this xmas? Stay safe. Plan your route in advance, be prepared for changes in conditions, & if you haven't been out in a while, take it handy & consider using lower risk, well-used tracks.

[SE Mountain Rescue @SE_Mount_Rescue]

When parking, please leave gates, roads, and track entrances clear for landowners and emergency services. Enjoy your time on the hills. If you get into trouble, call 112 or 999.

This evening, SEMRA & @sardaIreland responded to a callout to a lost walker in the Knockmealdowns. Thankfully, we were able to locate the casualty safe & well. Members were then warmly welcomed & fed by Rhododendron Walking Festival @VeeWalks & Siúl Eile members in Clogheen 😋

Happy Christmas. Thank you for your support and generosity throughout the year. Thanks also to our families, who continue to make the sacrifices to allow us to attend callouts on short notice as well as training, and fundraisers.

@NobleGuardianIE @GardaTraffic @AmbulanceNAS Dunmore East Coast Guard played a significant part in the search as well as initial treatment of the casualty with assistance from a SEMRA Team doctor and local GP.

Last night, SEMRA was tasked by @GardaTraffic to assist with a search for a missing lady in Dunmore East. While en route, the team was stood down as the lady, who had taken a fall, was found by a passerby & subsequently treated by @AmbulanceNAS. A great result for all involved.

Last weekend, #LeaveNoTrace Trainer Jimmy Barry attended the #LongWayRound, a fundraiser for @SE_Mount_Rescue!

His stand was set up at the registration area, and with over 800 people taking part, many stopped to talk and learn about how litter can impact our environment! 🌙 🥾
