🗻 May Training 🏃♀️On Wednesday the team were on the hilll supporting the 2024 University of Stirling Dumyat Hill race. A fantastic evening and thankfully only one minor injury to attend to. Great to see some familiar faces including our own Medical Officer Ochils Simon. 🏃Today the team were training in the Lomond Hills area focusing on searching and casualty extraction. Team members refreshed searching techniques then team search dog Evie located the casualty. Following a medical assessment the casualty was transported from the hill in our stretcher. Many thanks to our two mock casualties, Cora and her dad.#anydayanyhouranyweather #workingtogether Scottish Mountain RescueSARDA Southern Scotland
