If you ever get into trouble on a mountain, a remote trail, or somewhere hard to reach, Galway Mountain Rescue could be the team that comes looking for you. They’re on call 24/7 - and they do it all as volunteers.
Valerie is joined by team member Hannah Gibney to explain what call-outs can look like across Galway and North Clare, from injured hikers to missing people caught out after dark (and the odd four-legged rescue too).
Hannah talks training, specialist equipment, and the reality of mobilising at the drop of a hat.
Plus, details of their annual fundraiser Howl at the Moon on 26th September - with 9k and 17k walks in the Galway Wind Park - and how you can support or get involved.
