Avalanche transceiver training 

For season 20/21, we will be holding transceiver training sessions in Wimbledon (on the common), Poole (Sandbanks beach), and Manchester (Sale Water Park). 

In our training sessions, you will learn how to be well prepared and use your avalanche safety equipment. This concentrates on the role of the avalanche transceiver plus the shovel and probe.

By the end of the training you will feel able to recover a victim in around 5 minutes.  You will also understand about the best way to use a probe and to dig the victim out.

Each event runs from 11.30 to 14.30

COVID secure

We have studied the government advice, we have done our risk assesment and will be following the official procedures for outdoor training events. This is education and training and not a social gathering. We will be using the HAT approach to risk management.

So is it safe? It depends on you?

Where you go? – Keep social distancing and stay at least 1m apart at all times
How you go? – We will work in two separate groups of 5 or 6 maximum
Be well prepared – All the equipment will be sanitised. We will ask you to wear gloves. Bring hand sanitising gel.

Equipment loan
We can lend you a transceiver for the session if you do not have one. However, if you do have a transceiver, shovel and probe, you should bring them to the session, it is best to practise with your own equipment
