Hi all, my son and I (Will) took an afternoon off work today to help out at the Riverside Park, fitting throwline boxes onto the new signs. 5 in total, 3 on Prudhoe side, 2 on Ovingham side.
As part of North of Tyne Mountain Rescue I'm trained as a Swiftwater Rescue Technician so I've been involved in helping to organise the water safety day down the riverside last weekend. It went well and we will continue to put this on, probably the same time each year.
Hopefully each year it will get bigger and more people will attend.
Unfortunately, one of the signs has already been vandalised after only being up 1 week.
I managed to clean the sign up.
Please all share this post as it shows how to unlock the box and use the throwline.
Thanks Weston
