So You Want to Join Mountain Rescue?

This work features cartoons by David Allan, chairman of Mountain Rescue Council (England) and text by Judy Whiteside, editor of "Mountain Rescue News" - the official national magazine for Mountain Rescue.

David Allan, FRCS, said: I have been involved with mountain rescue in a number of roles for a little over thirty years.

During that time I have come to respect the people who provide the service for their commitment, their skills, and their capacity to endure.

However, I have also come to believe that perhaps the most essential requirement for a successful mountain rescue team member is a sense of humour and it is in recognition of this that this book is produced.

I must pay tribute to the excellent book Mountain Rescue by Bob Sharp and Judy Whiteside which I have parodied and used as a source of ideas.
