That takes the biscuit!

Last night (Monday) saw the team training on the new cliff rescue equipment; a dress rehearsal for our official safety assessment early next week. The training went really well and it’s fair to saying that everyone’s hard work over the last few weeks appears to have paid off. We’re actually looking forward to the assessment and to working with the new kit.


Including the new Petzl ID below:- an explanation another time.

A few ‘Z drags’, and ‘tugger recoveries’ later we retired to the CRE (Station) to debrief over a warm cuppa….and some biscuits.

Now biscuits are a real treat for us Coastguard Rescue Officers and due to our hard work the boss let us have two packs. (not each you understand…to share!). Much like a BBC Cameraman filming a wildebeest at the watering hole your intrepid reporter managed to capture a rare photo of DSO Austen ‘dunking’, while Brian attempted to work out how to open the next packet; just look at their concentration.


Moments after this was taken Austen motioned to the cameramen using ’international sign language’ that he was about to eat another two biscuits. Well I think that’s what he meant?
