The club is considering funding a limited number of places on a “Wilderness First Aid Course”, as detailed in the recent FRA magazine, to paid up club members. The idea is to help individuals plan their runs with a greater degree of understanding of how to deal with an emergency aid incident on the fells. You will not be expected to provide any official first aid for any club activity. The courses are scheduled to be run on various potential weekends in Autumn. The course is by High Peak First Aid and details can be found here
There is both a 1 & 2 day option which we could choose depending on numbers. The courses are non residential, over a weekend, and are based in the Hope valley. Initial priority will be to race organisers & perhaps club officials. The clubs contribution towards the course fees will again depend on numbers as any budget is limited.
The full cost for the 2 day course, as an example, is £120. We are initially trying to gauge any interest so please contact Tom Westgate on email or telephone as appropriate if you have any questions or want to register potential interest.
