+The_Street_Searchers Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hi Everyone Hope everybody is well and enjoying the recent sunny weather. As a fellow cacher I wanted to share another one of my activities - It is like caching, only you look for people and you don't know where they are The real reason is to draw people who enjoy the outdoors attention to the many lowland search teams in the UK. Everybody knows about the great work that the Mountain Rescue teams do but did you know there are search teams in Sussex, Kent, Wiltshire, Hampshire and many other counties? As a member of Sussex Search and Rescue we are always looking for new members. If your interested in finding out more a good place to start is the Association of Lowland Search and Rescue www.alsar.org.uk Here you will be able to find a link to your local team. Many Thanks for your time Chris Quote Link to comment
+scottpa100 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 but did you know there are search teams in Sussex, Kent, Wiltshire, Hampshire and many other counties? You know what? I didn't! But I guess you still have hills, and moors and heaths and cliffs and stuff makes sense. Never thought of it until the post. Thanks for the edification! Quote Link to comment
+*mouse* Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Berkshire SAR Dogs are cachers too! Was lucky enough to see them when they did a short display at the Burrington Combe event back in 2007. Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 thanks for the post! Maybe yourself or Berkshire SAR (if they're around!) can advise me.. I live in North Surrey (near Reigate) however Reigate doesn't have an SAR team. Would it be worthwhile me looking at one of the other teams (say Hampshire or Sussex)? Also, I work in Central London and commute by train. Therefore, it would take me quite a while to be able to respond to any call out. Any advice would be most welcome! Dave PS - contact through profile is fine if you feel it more appropriate... Quote Link to comment
+The_Street_Searchers Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Hi Dave, at sussex we have at least one member who travels from Surrey (Dorking way I think) - possibly more. Have a look at our website (www.sussar.org) and feel free to PM me if you have any further questions Chris Edited May 18, 2009 by The_Street_Searchers Quote Link to comment
