Two Howth climbers last night
Howth & Skerries Coast Guard Units plus the Civil Defence, Fire Service and Dublin Coast Guard helicopter will hold a mini SAR Demo in Donabate/Portrane on Sunday 7th May at 2pm. It will involve a simulated plane crash, chemicals on beach, buildings on fire, recovery operation and cliff rescue.
Last night the entire Howth unit were up in Donabate on exercise. Two Howth climbers did a descent and reverse ascent twice just before dusk. The cliff-top team did a very impressive anchor setup in quick time while another volunteer put a new quad bike through a test trial.
The Howth team will partake in a smaller scenario locally for the Howth Festival in July meanwhile for those based in the south of the country, a larger inter-services demonstration will be held in Youghal.
