RMBI Care Co. Home Queen Elizabeth Court in Llandudno residents Ken Bream and Norman Roberts enjoyed a trip to see the North Wales mountains and the world’s famous Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Centre to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
Ken was a founding member of The Llandudno Mountain Rescue Team. It was set up to help people in distress on the Great Orme.
Unfortunately it no longer exists today, but Ken remembers vividly some of the mountain rescues that he and his team assisted in.
Norman has visited and hiked many miles across the North Wales mountains including Yr Wyddfa, the country’s highest mountain.
Gary Carr, one of Queen Elizabeth Court’s activities coordinators, said: “It was an honour to take our two wonderful gentlemen back to see the mountains again and the rescue centre.
“We had a lot of fun sharing past life stories, and learning about modern day mountain rescues.”
“Spending time in nature can really help to support our residents’ health and wellbeing, and going back to the vast landscapes that they enjoyed for many years made the experience even more special.”
