Team put through its Paces

On Saturday the team headed to Old Harry Rocks to be assessed for their rope competency re-validation.


The equipment was set up to run various scenarios in front of our Senior Coastguard Operations Officers. On the top of the cliff the team had to display the various recovery methods used.


The rope technicians were sent over the cliff and had to show their skills with the stretcher, rescue sling and emergency procedures.


After about 15 “drops” and recoveries the team were signed off to continue to operate and will continue with the year's training and exercise programme.
