SRT Training?!?!?

[VickiCampbell]

Does someone (preferably someone patient) want to be very brave and very wonderful and teach me how to SRT? Or give me information as to how I go about getting SRT training? Who I contact? Etc.
Pretty please?

You need to check in with Budgie - he's the clubs SRT trainer and really knows his stuff. Drop him and email or whatever - if you're struggling for his contact details then let me know and i'll pass them on to you.

[Richard Timms]

I'm also keen to learn SRT,and haven't met Budgie yet.With several new members at the moment is group training possible?
Also,would I need my own kit before training?Inglesport and Starlessriver sell SRT kits for around £200,would one of these be suitable for a beginner or is there a better option?

[Tim Watts]

I'd suggest that a group session would be perfect - hang off buying your own kit until you've had a play with the club gear and decided a) that you like it and b) what kit you prefer using. i.e. ID or a Stop etc.

[Richard Timms]

Thanks Tim.
If something can be arranged it will have to be at the weekends for me because of the distance I have to travel!

[Dean Wood]

I'm keen to give it go if Budgie is willing to give us all some sessions

[Joel Colk]

I WILL call him this week at some point and either ask him to come on here and arrange something, or liaise between him and the forum

[Tim Watts]

I image that three of you would be about perfect for Budgie. But he'd be better able to confirm this.

[John Nicholson]

I would also like to come on an 'SRT taster', and this may also help to bring Vikki from Bangor.

I have not actually seen it in action yet (other than Joel's heroic rescue of my cat!), and I would like to get a feel of what is involved.

Sadly Bella is adamant that she just wants to do crawly and walking stuff for now as she must have had a bad experience with abseiling at some time in her past.

[Stephen Bailey John]

I'd be interested in a bit of SRT training if there is any going on at a weekend?

[Joel Colk]

SRT training dates confirmed. Please see this thread for more information: http://www.ucet.org.uk/index.php/forum/13-trips-a-events/4926-srt-training-programe-4th-march#4926

[Ian A]

I know two other club members who would be able to offer training (three if one comes out of his hiding hole on the Wirral) ... nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more

[Stephen Bailey John]

Thanks for all your arranging, but unfortunately I can't get up to anywhere every Sunday for five weeks. A day or weekend would be do-able, but I understand that this might not suit anyone else. Not to worry, plenty to see without needing ropes!

Thanks again.

little jow: I wouldn't give up so easy - it can be sorted around you to an extent and largely depends on an idividual as to how quickly you pick up the techniques. Make whichever sessions you can and go from there. although formal in terms of making sure everyone knows all they need to know its amazingly flexible in terms of how it can be conducted. The underworld gets so much more exciting once rope access is brought into play!
