Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team.
We cover the area around Yr Wyddfa (mountain formally known as Snowdon).
----------------------------------
Cyfrifol am ardal Yr Wyddfa.
As one of our quieter months, January is the perfect time to work on some of the basics of #mountainrescue .
Today we hosted a training morning with Rescue 936 for rescue team members throughout North Wales.
Training in a comfortable environment like this is invaluable for our volunteers, who frequently work with the aircraft in poor weather and difficult terrain.
An introduction...
I've been a climber for 20 years; rock, ice, alpine, Himalayan, I've had a go at it all. I love skiing best.
I work as an outdoor educator and tree surgeon in North Wales. I'm a member of @TAM_Llanberis and a keen motorbiker.
I'm a co owner of a golden retriever called Nella who loves going on adventures.

Great to see @newsar joining us here on Mastodon! 😍
Croeso mawr! Give them a follow.
We've ditched Twitter.
No big loss really, as our engagement dropped off a cliff when we began posting bilingual content.
We're a mega busy team of volunteers, who don't have much time to post. But we might try and do something a bit different here.
Let's see how it goes.
#Introduction time I guess! Thanks @jaz for the leg-up!
We're Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team, a group of volunteers ready to help walkers and climbers on and around #YrWyddfa (previously known as #Snowdon).
We are the busiest volunteer #mountainrescue team in the UK and possibly even Europe?
We were called out 237 times in 2021 which led to 170 deployments in all weathers.
