This last year has been a busy one, with rescues over on theSnowdon side and the Land Rover being used for moving teams around and as a forward base on two occasions. Also, with the increase in popularity of the east side of the Carneddau, the call-outs are becoming more frequent for that area. Requests for the vehicles to be put on standby for adverse weather conditions were received.
Requests for the vehicles to be put on standby for adverse weather conditions were received. As regards maintenance, both vehicles are running well with just the normal run of repairs.
The in-house driver training is on-going at the off road facility at Dolgarrog Power Station. The course is of great value in the training programme and also good fun. The running costs are similar to last year at £5,000, made up of £2,300 insurance, £2,000 fuel and about £700 for maintenance.
It is now 6 years since Safeway/HM Bennett and Welsh Lamb sponsored the Land Rover for us and now that Morrisons have taken over Safeway, we are no longer in their group of charities. It will soon be time to remove the 'Safeway' logo and think about replacing a vehicle, hopefully, there may be someone out there to take their place. Sponsorship can come in many forms, such as fuel, Insurance or the Team in general. If you can Help Us to Help Others by sponsorship or donations click here for more details.

Land Rover 130 4x4 Ambulance |
Soon it will be time to think about replacing our trusty Land Rover 130 4x4 Ambulance. We currently have two and these really are the best suited vehicles for our needs. Why use 130 and not a standard 110. Simply put these modified Land Rovers can accommodate a stretcher easily and without any modifications on site. This makes for a smoother transfer for the casualty and offers larger load carrying space for the team. If you can help in full or part then why not contact us to discuss sponsorship opportunities, we would happily display your company logos for the lifetime of the vehicle.
