Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Ogwen Valley is the most northerly of the main valleys in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales, UK. The mountains that surround the valley are about 1000 meters high and the terrain varies quite considerably. We have cliffs that reach about 300-400m in height and are very popular with climbers. The hills to the north of Oggi Base (the Carneddau) are high and open, but there is also open moorland with heather, bracken and sheep, as well as areas of dense forest around Capel Curig. This sort of terrain calls for the team members to be competent in both high angle rescue work as well as open terrain search techniques.

22 Squadron

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

The 22 Squadron Association was formed following the disbandment of 22 Squadron in 1946. However, with time, the membership level of the 22 Squadron Association fell to a point where the Association could not be sustained on its own and, in 2000/2001, the 22 Squadron Association was amalgamated with other ex-Beaufort Squadron Associations to form the Beaufort Association. The old 22 Squadron Association ceased to exist as a separate organisation.
