Training was delayed by half an hour last night owing to a full team page around 5.30pm.
The session itself was led by our sector manager Rob and concentrated on the identification and safe transport of time expired pyrotechnics. With the passing of each tide, there are always various bits of ordnace, flares, smokes etc that can get washed up, and each is dealt with in its own way according to the circumstances and just where abouts on the shoreline it appears.
Contrary to popular belief, members of the public cannot turn up at the Coastguard Station and ask us to dispose of out of date pyrotechnics; we are not equipped for this, so please do not ask!
In other news, the train riding pony has now been spotted at A&E and in his local pub, The White Horse, in Wrexham. Actually, I made the pub name up, it could just as easily be the Star, or The Rose and Crown, but it doesn't have the same appeal does it?
