So the BBC have an article up about the CRT’s landrover being stolen. We’ve also had a TV piece made about the break-in that appeared on the regional six o’clock news. Many thanks to the guys at the Beeb for helping with this. I’ve also written to Landrover Owner magazine and Trail magazine to ask […]
West Brecon Cave Rescue Landrover Originally uploaded by aledt. Here’s the photos of the vehicle, registration again is X338 DCY. Again, please contact the police IMMEDIATELY if you spot it. I suspect that with the strength of the SAR community in south Wales, you’ll be drowing in beer if you give the police info that […]
We’ve just had a message distributed accross the pagers – apparently the West Brecon Cave Rescue team’s Landrover has been stolen. What a bunch of bastards. We all, as voluntary 999 organisations spend a huge amount of time asking the public and grant-giving organisations for money in order to support us in saving lives. The […]
I’ve had a few people asking about the area call system, so I’ll just give a quick rundown of it here. One of our biggest problems, being a voluntary organisation, is that people have a Real Job to do when they’re not running over mountains saving lives. Most people have day jobs, so our response […]
Today was the SARDA AGM. It was supposed to start at 1400, so Mal picked me up about 1330 and we headed off up to base. We hadn’t left Senghenydd when the pagers went off, giving us our head’s up that the police had called. Bloody typical. So, off we head, up over the mountain […]

Wow, it’s been so hot this week! I *heart* air conditioning… We’ve had some fantastic storms, as you may have seen on the news. I spent a good amount of time cowering under the porch in the house avoiding the huge hailstones while watching the incredible lightning storm a few miles down the road. We […]
Chip and pin has been widely discussed amongst IT experts and it’s fairly widely acknowledged that it seems that the purpose of C&P is not so much to prevent fraud, but to change the burden of liability for fraudulent transactions onto the consumer instead of the financial institutions. One person in particular that I’m aware […]
Through Google’s “HowTo of the day” thingy on their personalised home page, this link brings you the most amusing picture of a miserable pussy I’ve seen in a long time.
So I’ve had a week off, realxing and meeting people. Sean and I are getting along like a house on fire, and other than that, it’s been quiet quiet. I’ll be back to work on Monday, so next week, updates will be back to normal.
