*Sometimes supports Mountainsafe , a joint initiative between North Wales Police, Snowdonia National Park Authority and the North Wales Mountain Rescue Association to encourage people to think and prepare before heading into the mountains; there have been so many incidents in Snowdonia this year, and the rescue services are volunteers, don't risk your life and that of others, take the right equipment, check weather forecasts, and be aware hill walking and climbing can be hazardous
*Llanberis Mountain Rescue website
*Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue website
*Short Guardian article on how hardworking mountain rescue teams are, particularly Llanberis; and remember that not only do mountain accidents risk the lives of these brave volunteers, but also flying out rescue helicopters at night disturbs sleeping locals!
*N.B. The dollar has not been adopted as local currency, it's just that the pound sign won't work on Moonfruit for some reason!
