It suddenly dawned on me as I was free climbing the Dancing Bear at Brimham Rocks, that if anything untoward happened to me, I was in the hands of Rachael, the qualified life guard...
I'm not knocking the First Aid capabilities of our life guarding cousins, but I wasn't likely to be falling into a large pool face down - if I fell, things were going to break....or bleed.
This was the sick reasoning in my mind this week as Rach and I headed off to Shrewsbury for my second Outdoor First Aid course. There were 17 post grad students attending and it would be fair to say they were a lively bunch.
As always, the course is pretty full on and very practical and I'm pleased to say that Rach passed with flying colours, making a few new friends on the way.
Now we just need to get Slaney through his course to support his ML and we should be well covered. (Note to self - must make sure that its me who does the talk on bleeding for that one!)
If any of you want to get a recognised Level 2 First Aid qualification (not just a bums on seats certificate), then drop me a line or phone me.
