Right, well, today was supposed to be a quiet day studying, but we had two callouts. The first was an area call around 1030 and was a casualty on the path above the Storey Arms. I know very little on this one, as I arrived as we got stood down, so I had a quick […]

Had a fun night at base last night doing a first aid refresher, going over simpler things like oxygen treatment, and looking at more awkward spinal and pelvis management – it’s all fine and dandy trying to put a C-spine collar on when your casaulty is alert, sitting upright and compliant, but when he’s lying […]

Yes, well, we all need a break and what started as a weekend of “Sod it, I’m not touching a computer this weekend.” ended up stretching into a week long avoidance just to get some relaxation in, coupled with being rather busy. Normal service should be restored now. So there were two callouts on that […]

Occasionally, it is necessary for us to withold information from the media or families until we can confirm it. This is a perfect example of why. Those poor families that waited for those 11 men, were celebrating for […]

Hats off to the lads from the Western Beacons and the West Brecon Cave Rescue teams last night, who were out in the weather carrying out a rescue while we were tucked up in base drinking coffee.

Yay! We had snow last night – had being the operative word in this sentence. I had a call last night about 2030 from Damien, telling me that the snow was falling quite heavily. Having reached the point where my head was spinning with AD crap, I decided to call it a day and head […]

Well, it’s well underway now with all the AD accounts moved to the new domain, the mailboxes slurped off as PSTs onto a USB disk ready for the move and everything nicely set up. I have to say that Microsoft is doing quite well on the security guides – their operating systems have gone from […]

So, kiddies, here’s a word of warning. That little sentence on the Microsoft Security Guide that reads something like “make damn sure your GPO is perfect before linking it to the OU or else“ isn’t kidding. Because of a brain fart last night, I added the built-in Administrator account to the “Deny log on over […]
