I'm quite looking forward to it as I know absolutely nothing about Mountain Rescue beyond having been told to get off a mountain in Snowdonia during a silver Duke of Edinburgh expedition due to bad conditions. That was a bit of a non-event as we just followed a road to the bottom of the mountain then were picked up and driven home.
So other than directing idiot schoolgirls down mountains... what do the Mountain Rescue do?
I found this picture on flickr. It has a story attached - the short of which is that this man was rescued under extreme conditions on Table Mountain. Whether he survived or not I can't tell from 'google' - but the photo depicts perfectly mountain rescue in action.

Wow, what a picture! I've said it before and I'll say it again. You're a GREAT Brownie leader!
That looks really good - please post and let us know how it goes?
There was an episode on Coronation Street recently where one of the characters was rescued of a Welsh Mountain just like in the picture with a helicopter and everything. The Mountain Rescue do a wonderful job!
Great photo. The kids should enjoy the stories.
