The talk will focus on mountain rescue in Wicklow and in particular on the Glen of Imaal MRT and their history and current activities. The talk will give an insight into what it is like being a member of a volunteer search and rescue team and having to be involved in a range of activities such as search management, technical rescue and of course fundraising! There will be information on staying safe in the hills and also on what you can do to help yourself and MR when it does go wrong.
