A fridge full of chocolate? Yes that’s right readers; we have a fridge full of confectionary delights…..it’s hardly Thornton’s….but pretty good, apart from the fact there are no Curly Wurlies.
Now the reader would be forgiven in thinking we just sit there on training nights, pigging on chocolate and biscuits and that we must all be 20 stone porkers…not the case! It’s actually mainly there for three reasons:- (i) team morale (ii) to keep the energy levels of the team up during lengthy searches operations, and (iii) to be available for casualties if necessary.
Obviously if you’re suffering from full on hypothermia, the last thing you need is a Lion Bar stuffed in your mouth. But take the Kayakers earlier this year, (see previous blog) they were cold and wet after two hours of carrying their kayaks, and what they needed was a Mars Bar, a Bounty and a hot cup of tea.
And which CRO is no stranger to the chocolate fridge....a clue is in the photo.
Reminder to myself: Must have a word with Mr Bentham, (Chocolate and Biscuit Officer) about the Curly Wurlies.
