Heartbeat Hike 2008
The theme for Heartbeat Hike this year was Green – and the weather was fine and sunny.
We had an early start
The Green theme
Another Green message
Special Transport took us to Hyde Park
Where we checked people in
before the start of the hike
and handed out medals at the end.
First Aid Training
We had an evening of First Aid Training. We learned how to put someone into the recovery position, how and when to apply basic cardio-pulmonary resuscitation CPR), how to report an emergency and many other useful skills. We also had a lot of fun !
There is a special Resusci Anne for babies.
George is very happy with his bandaging ability
Demonstration of how to apply a head bandage
And two more – by the end of the night we were starting to look like a plague of mummies !
