    I just a refresher course last week with City First Aid, they were bloody good, though a few years back did one with St John, and they gave out a little kit with book, and a blowup doll.... very handy.

    Kinda my point. Most of us adventurers (not that your one any more) should be doing this sort of course as we're often a bloody long way from help should we need it. I know when I crashed I was thinking, damn I hope Plug and TA can cope with this situation. They did a Stirling job by the way.

    This is an awesome idea and something I've been thinking about doing myself (but locally, of course!). When you guys do this, can someone post some feedback about it? I'm keen to see how it goes.

    Just been speaking to SWMBO about this. She is keen to do the course as well as me, but as she doesn't ride very much, if all the spaces are taken by riders she will bow out.

    I would be interested if there is a space available. Available pretty much any evening or weekend.

    One of the great things I have found over the yrs of doing these courses, is that the techniques have become much simpler to remember, as with child to adult, the methods for cpr are pretty much the same.

    I am lucky my employer ensures all our certs' are up to date.

    We need dates before we can say yes.
    We are both interested
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.

    Will do no worries, I might see if we can get course notes that can be used by other providers, that will depend on St Johns.

    And if you are interested do get in contact with JMemonic.
    Because as always there will be people that will have to pull out for some good reason.
