‘Call
Out Mountain Rescue - a Pocket Guide to Safety on the Hill’
takes the reader through preparation and route planning,
what to take and how to pack it, how best to stay safe in
the mountains and what to do if you have an accident. If
you do hit trouble, there’s a run down of the mountain
rescue call out procedure and how to relay the relevant
information to the emergency services, plus a brief history
of mountain rescue and some useful advice on publications,
websites and organisations with which to hone your skills
and research your trip before setting out.
It
has been produced by the organisation that co-ordinates all
the volunteer Mountain Rescue Teams in England and Wales.
This sturdy
little A6 guide with 150 full colour pages is packed with
information and useful tips, is handy for the rucksack and a must for
all mountain enthusiasts.
Mountaineer and author, Andy Cave, said, ‘This is essential
reading for all British walkers and climbers.’
