The waiting game

After the windy night.......the evening did have its very serious side and one thing is for sure, the team take "kit night" seriously.

Whilst the Station Officer is the "Custodian" of the equipment, we all take cleaning and looking after the equipment as if it our own, at the end of the day some of the kit is protection for the team.

During the check done by the Sector Manager, some minor things where flagged up (any thing serious 1) The item would be withdrawn 2) I might not be the Station Officer for much longer!
The equipment we use and the environment its used in, often takes its toll,white coloured lines resting on muddy cliff edges soon become that brown coloured line and washing them (bearing in mind you can not use anything that water) just does not get the muck out!

Then its a case of putting everything back.

Then the waiting game until its used.
