Ask yourself these three questions first…

  • Do I have the right gear?
  • Do I know what the weather will be like?
  • Am I confident that I have the knowledge and skills for the day?

Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team…

is a voluntary organisation responsible for covering the Central section of the Brecon Beacons including South Wales’ highest mountain, Pen y Fan at 886m, Cribyn and Corn Du as well as the Ystradfellte waterfalls, Newport, Cardiff and the valleys.

Back in April, we were invited by the Welsh Government to speak to social media teams from across a range of departments and organisations, including Wales, Cadw and Climate CymruApparently, they’d seen the work we’ve been doing across our social channels and wanted to hear more about our social media approach, where our ideas come from, and how campaigns like the Pro Tips series have managed to reach so many people while still sharing important outdoor safety messaging.Spoiler alert: there is no strategy. Sometimes it’s dancing in a music video, sometimes it’s calling people a muppet in a pro tip and sometimes it’s simply surprising a team member by discovering their face has unexpectedly been plastered across our socials in the name of banter.So off Carys and Huw went to somehow fill 45 minutes talking about mountain rescue, public engagement, social media, and the strange reality that people actually find us funny…By all accounts, it actually went pretty well.Yay us. 🙌🏽 ...
