WILTSHIRE Search and Rescue volunteers put their skills to the test over the weekend by carrying a stretcher and weighted mannequin over 14km of rough terrain in a bid to raise vital funds.
The pandemic has hit the charity’s fundraising hard, with many events cancelled as a result. The charity helps the emergency services to find vulnerable and missing people across the county.
On Saturday (April 17) teams of volunteers carried a stretcher from Barbury Castle to Avebury and beyond.
All team members are tested on their ability to walk 8km/5miles, carrying their search kit, in under two hours.
