Well, that escalated quickly.Apparently, Central Beacons Mountain Rescue has entered its Taylor Swift era. Except instead of selling out stadiums, we’re selling calendars featuring questionable hiking decisions and mildly sarcastic safety advice.You lot have been buying so many Pro Tips calendars that you actually crashed our website today. We’re not entirely sure whether to be delighted or concerned.Thankfully, our very own IT wizard, Josh, came to the rescue. Don’t ask us what he did because we haven’t got the faintest idea, but there was some tapping on a keyboard, possibly some swearing, and the website is now back up and running. Not all heroes wear capes. Some just understand computers.On a serious note, THANK YOU. The Pro Tips calendar is a huge fundraiser for our entirely volunteer-run team, and the response has been absolutely incredible. We’ve already sold so many through pre-orders that it’s looking increasingly unlikely we’ll have any left for general sale.So, if you want one, now’s the time to order. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. And unlike a mountain rescue callout, we can’t just send a team out to find you another one.Pre-order yours here: www.cbmrt.org.uk/product/pro-tips-calendar-2027/Thank you for supporting Central Beacons Mountain Rescue. You’re all ridiculous. In the best possible way. ...
